Manelito - Boksburg

A boksburg institution. I 've visited the bar over 100 times before actually trying the restaurant side. What a fantastic gem. It feels as homely as your mothers kitchen. The owner is everywhere, she 's obviously very 'hands on ' on all aspects. The food is delicious, authentic and good value. As expected, chicken/prawn/calamari all recommended. Their homemade peri peri sauce is outstanding.

Manelito is the most authentic Portuguese restaurant I have ever been to the food is amazing and great value for money. It feels like you are part of the family when dining at Manelito. We start getting withdrawal symptoms if we don't go often.

Nothing wrong with the food. A little plain but nothing wrong. Decor is typical Portuguese. The coffee was great! I don't think I will come back as the food isn't out of this world. Just some typical home cooked Portuguese cuisine. (Although my fiance cooks better, she is Portuguese after all)

The location may be daunting but don't let that put you off. Traditional Portuguese cooking in a quant setting. Even during the week this place is busy and on weekends even busier. Something different to try if you are looking.

Hidden gem on the wrong side of boksburg! Tasty Porra food, good size portions at great value for money. Authentic decor and friendly service makes for an enjoyable experience
