About Grelha D'Ouro 2
Grelha D'Ouro 2 is a family-run Portuguese restaurant in London at 145 S Lambeth Rd, serving home-style cooking built around the grill. Grilled lamb chops and picanha steaks anchor the meat side, while the Bacalao with smashed potatoes covers the salt cod. Cozido is served on Sundays. Portuguese wines and other beverages accompany the food, so a meal can stay Portuguese from the first plate to the last glass. Downstairs in the basement, a billiard/snooker table and a few slot machines give groups something to play between rounds. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to generous portions of homemade-style Portuguese cooking, with several saying they left full or took leftovers home the next day. Grilled meats lead the named dishes: lamb chops and picanha steaks are called really good, and one diner calls the pork soft, tender and delicious. Sardines were nicely grilled and the bacalao with smashed potatoes was nicely done, while Portuguese wines and drinks get praise as well. One reviewer wished for more cozido on Sundays. Several describe the owners and staff as warm and friendly, and one family felt welcomed with their puppy. Value for money comes up repeatedly, and a downstairs billiard table is mentioned. The criticisms are specific. One reviewer found the gizzard appetiser overcooked and tough, said the potatoes lacked colour, and advised avoiding the house red. Another reports a waitress eating bread and snacking on a green pepper behind the bar while serving, and regulars standing behind the bar near food waiting to be served. That same reviewer still called the food excellent and generous.

“This is a lovely place with very good food that feels just like Portuguese homemade cooking. The dishes are full of flavour and really comforting. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and feel at home. Wish they had more cozido on Sundays! Highly recommend.”

“I visited today and overall had a lovely experience. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavour and the portion sizes were very generous, which we really appreciated. You definitely get great value for money, and the kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing. However, there were a few hygiene and professionalism issues that unfortunately took away from the experience. Our waitress was eating bread and butter while serving at our table, and at one point was snacking on a green pepper behind the bar while I was speaking to her and asking for more bread. Additionally, some customers who appeared to be regulars were casually going behind the bar area and standing chatting very close to where food was waiting to be served. This made the environment feel less hygienic and slightly uncomfortable. The food itself was excellent, but I hope the restaurant can address these service and hygiene standards, as it would really elevate the overall experience.”

“A True Hidden Gem! 🇵🇹 This authentic, family-run Portuguese restaurant absolutely blew me away. The food was incredibly tasty, with generous portions that left me full and happy. You can feel the love and tradition in every dish. The warm Portuguese hospitality made the entire experience even better — friendly, welcoming, and genuine. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a cozy, authentic meal that feels like home, this is it. I’ll definitely be back!”

“I’ve been here a couple of times, and each time is always excellent. Food is tasty, individual portions are considerable, beverages are Portuguese (so good ones 🙃), atmosphere is traditional but friendly and respectful.”
