Best Portuguese Restaurants in Randburg

Are you looking for Portuguese restaurants in Randburg? Look no further! We've put together the best guide on this side of Lisbon.

1920 Restaurant

On the outskirts of Ferndale hides a family-run restaurant that serves the best Portuguese food this side of Madeira. Just like the dishes of the Portuguese island, seafood plays a big role in 1920's set menu. Our favourite pick would be the Porco Com Ameijoa which consists of pork, clams and potato braised in garlic, tomato and wine.

Galito's

Famous for their flame-grilled chicken, Galito's is a little eatery which specialises in prego-styled burgers at wallet-friendly prices. Galito's recently introduced the half Portuguese-styled chicken with pap... which is surprisingly tasty. Get some!

Cesco's

Peri-peri prawns for days - that's the vibe Cesco's in Strijdom Park is going for, and they are pulling it off like no other. This pub and Portuguese restaurant is a favourite amongst the locals who flock to this spot at least once a week. Give it a shot and order the king prawns, or maybe go for the blue cheese and bacon steak. Details: C. R. Swart Drive & Tungsten Rd, Strydompark, Randburg, Johannesburg | Tel: 011 792 7495

Senhor Calistos

Somewhere along Conrad Drive there's a Senhor Calisto's which serves the best Portuguese-styled chicken, available in seven different flavours - of which the XX-Hot is our favorite. Try the mild creamy livers on for size - it comes with a delicate roll and will low five your taste buds. Make sure you go check Calisto's out for delicious treats.
