A Toca

Took my family and friends to celebrate my daughter's first holy communion, about 27 guests, we had an amazing time at A Toca. Fantastic food, welcoming and friendly staff, we all had sooooo much to eat that dessert was a miss. What a wonderful place! Extremelly Good Value for Money. Thank you Fernando and team at A Toca Wandsworth.

A very last minute decision to eat here, booked in the car en route to the metropolis. Walking distance from our hotel on the South Lambeth Road- 10 mins - which was an added bonus. Online menu is very impressive..go to the restaurant s own website. My husband is such a fussy meat eater but I prefer fish so this was the perfect choice. It was a busy, bustling Saturday night, the place was full of local Portuguese - like being on holiday - even children were welcomed. I ve never seen so many bottles of Moët being brought to tables ....the choice of food was fantastic , as soon as we arrived the owner and his brother in law showed us to our table and within minutes had brought a large bowl of olives, bread, cheese, pâtés etc to our table . Wine list very impressive...Try the EA 14% excellent value and the perfect choice for grilled meats and fish. Food was delicious . If I had to fault it I d say the portions were just TOO HUGE! Fries, veg, potatoes and salad come WITH the meal as standard. And then came the desserts....do not be fooled by the hand made looking menu...the Pudim or creme caramel was the best I ve ever had...none of your plastic pot nonsense. There is a selection of kids novelty ice creams too ..I was tempted by the elephant one but the Pudim won. We shall definitely return to this wonderful piece of Portugal. The waiters were attentive and courteous, could nt fault it.... Long may it continue.....

Nem na casa da vovo voce encontra comida igual; servico satisfatorio, gente gentil, preco perfeito. Indo a Londres, baiucas, nem pensar em perder tal pedida

I went to A Toca a couple of weeks ago. I'd made a reservation and was a little early, and in a little bit of a hurry. Even though the restaurant was very busy they quickly found me a table. We had caldo verde - potato and shredded cabbage soup with slices of chouriço -which was lovely. I had a main of roasted octupus and potatoes which which generous and flavoursome. My husband had a meat dish. As he brought this to the table the waiter looked at the chips and said "that's not a lot of chips" and promptly got us a new whole side of chips. The staff were swept of their feet busy, but were still attentive and corteous. As it was St Martin's day, which in Portugal is celebrated with eating roasted chestnuts they got us some roasted chestnuts after we finished our main. I jokingly said what about the new wine (which traditionally is served with the chestnuts) and the waiter got us some new wine too. They could have charged us for the extra chips, chestnuts and new wine, it would have been cheeky, but they could. Yet they did not, which made for those gestures to become more than attentive service, but really the welcoming and generous attitude you would expect in a portuguese home. I told the manager that evening how impressed I'd been, and promised I would write an online review, so here you have it! I will come back many, many times, and will be bring back my non portuguese friends, and would suggest you do the same!

my favourite restaurant in London. Friendly, great value, great food.

Amazing food, nice wine in a nicely priced meal.

Great food, friendly staff. Feels like being back in an everyday portuguese restaurant. Comfort food! :)

Good place, simple Portuguese food but done very well. The fish and meat dishes (especially the Sirloin steak special) are excellent and cooked very rare as requested. Also the portions are massive and it is very good value for money.

Really great home cooked Portuguese food. Massive portions for ridiculously low prices, and friendly staff. Pork dishes especially good.

I just went there to have dinner with my family we sat at the top right balcony and i have to say that i was very disappointed with a number of things: - The waiter that served us wasn't efficient, after we finish the food he didn't remove the empty plates from the table, which can be very uncomfortable. - The meat was of poor quality full of nerves and not well cooked -The furniture was cheep and very uncomfortable and didn't help to make the night enjoyable. Over all not a very professional attitude from the staff!!! On a positive note, i did enjoy the grilled fish. It was well cooked and tasty. I recommend this restaurant if u want to go for some fish at lunch time but not for a relaxing evening with family or a hot date.
