| - I've been coming here for the last two years, and the fact I'm reviewing this place on Yelp is a tragedy in itself.
Churrasqueira Grill has been a secret spot for many of my Portuguese friends, we get together and enjoy foreign beer and semi-exotic cuisine, this restaurant was once adverse to the local youths and pretentious vintage bicycle whores. Unfortunately this is no longer so, as this place has been quote-on-quote discovered.
It used to be that after a day of my friends' children football (soccer) practice, or just a day of enjoying the town we would come here for wholesome quality food in a relaxed environment, and occasionally join in on the celebrations happening at the impressive backyard patio. These days are all but gone, and now the tables here are infested with plastic shades and second-hand clothing. A hipster infestation!
Due to the overwhelming traffic of these social parasites, the kitchen is under tremendous pressure to turnout dishes every minutes, significantly reducing the quality of the food and service. I don't want to share my dining experience with these people! They are an eyesore! EYESORE!
Before, the chicken is tender, the sausages were juicy, the veal was well prepared and the waitress competent. Now...the chicken taste as if they were raised in the sahara desert, sausages are as dull as the piglet dish it's served on, veal seems to be slaughtered in their teenage years, and the waitress runs with her head cut off half of the time. Anytime hipsters move into an neighbourhood the quality of everything plunges, and sadly Bairriada Churrasqueira has been one of its gravest victim. So now me and my chest hair mates must find elsewhere to unwind, ARGH!
It'll be difficult to find somewhere that serves the fresh cheese with that chilli sauce so authentically, this quiet area is officially tarnished by these wretched trendies.
Local gems only sparkle while they remain hidden..this place has tragically lost its lustre.
