Great food and great atmosphere. All the seafood dishes were amazing at our table as well as the piri piri chicken. Service was friendly but maybe a bit understaffed. Restaurant was really busy and staff were busy which was good to see. They were all working hard to keep up and apologized to us for the delays. Overall a good experience. Would definitely return.

Lovely restaurant with a great ambiance. Parking is available in the back and in an overflow lot slightly west (look for the signs). High chair was provided for our baby and we were able to store the car seat in an unused section of the dining area. Our server Catarina was lovely. The cocktails were delicious and the food was top notch. Really enjoyed our evening!

We had the lightest best calamari as a starter and followed it with chicken, fries and salad. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The PiriPiri sauce was great.

Piri Piri never disappoints! The food is always amazing! I have a pineapple allergy and when my salmon came with a pineapple salsa, the waitress took it back immediately for them to make another without the salsa. Everyone enjoyed their meals! The desserts are also delicious! Can't go wrong at Piri Piri!
