About Casa do Prego
Casa do Prego is a specialist tapas restaurant that delivers a rare combination: intimate rooftop seating, live acoustic and bossa nova music, and staff who treat every guest like a regular. The menu balances iconic Portuguese pregos (grilled pork sandwiches with caramelised onions and dual mustards) alongside tuna steak, marinated chicken, and gluten-free options—all plated with care and served in generous portions. The wine list and craft cocktails anchor a drinks programme that rivals dedicated bars. Families appreciate the high chairs and children's menu; solo diners report warm welcomes and attentive service. The rooftop tables and cosy interior create an atmosphere that feels both casual and special, with the owner visibly present. Reservations are strongly advised, especially for dinner, as tables fill quickly.
Casa do Prego is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, Casa do Prego has drawn 34 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.

Reviews consistently praise 'beautiful acoustic Bossa Nova,' live guitar, and the 'vibrant pub' atmosphere; rooftop seating and interior design are described as 'very nice' and creating a 'cosy' yet trendy environment.
Iconic pregos and tuna steak
The Prego Selvagem (grilled black pork tenderloin with chorizo, caramelised onions, and dual mustard sauces) and tuna steak are repeatedly called 'phenomenal,' 'perfectly cooked,' and 'an absolute hit,' with one reviewer returning 8 days in a row.
