Very nice

Me and my partner (both Portuguese) were on the mood for some proper portuguese food yesterday afternoon. We looked online and found Mãe Maria. It was still a few miles away, but encouraged by hunger, laziness to cook and the idea of a warm Portuguese meal, decided it was worth a try! We got there late and went to the wrong place (useless GPS!)! We called the restaurant to know if it was still OK to go in, fearing it would be too late! The person answering put us at ease saying they'd wait for us! Its a really cosy place, the owner is a really nice guy who was happy to chat with us the whole time. We listened to some fado, had some super bock , I went for a francesinha and my partner had bacalhau à bras! Everything was delicious, even the starter (taste of Portugal, try it,). I was pleasantly surprised by the hand cut chips, its something so rare where we go! Of course we had some desserts and a nice expresso, before letting the staff have their meal and get some rest! Thank you for your patience and attention to us. We'll be back soon, my partner wants to try your francesinha!

Visited on the spur of the moment one evening and so happy we did. Everything was delicious for start to finish. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The Portuguese wine was lovely and the food exceeded our expectations. Really wonderful meal and as we were leaving we were already discussing what we will order next time. A great addition to the area. Make sure you have dessert!
