Packed with locals, very noisy and lively. - A great place to have a long lunch on a Sunday afternoon. A generous buffet of truly local starters, soups, mains, cheeses and desserts. Drinks (sangria, wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee etc.) are included it the price, to be ordered in the table..The food is buffet style, so no steaks etc.
The personnel is very efficient, friendly and helpful. The patron was very friendly, as well. A very positive experience, would not miss if staying in 30 minutes drive range.

I really have no idea why this place has such great reviews. The service is awful. It takes for ever to get a table, you wait for ever to just get your drinks in and then order food. The fish was way to salty and the sides were crap. Whole thing was expensive. Wouldn't recommend it.

Spent 12 days in Setùbal and went here for dinner 3 of them. We had no expectations the first night as it didn't look much from outside. I tried the Black Angus Steak and it was among the best meat I've had, after that we knew we had to come back for more and we were not dissapointed. The picture is of the Tomahawk, 45 days matured steak.

We picked this restaurant, after some great feedback from our friends. It did NOT let us down! Here you can have “petiscos” (like tapas) or main courses. We chose the first. We ordered bread, sheep butter, “alheira” croquettes, goat cheese with pepper jam, alioli shrimp and scrambled eggs with “farinheira”. We had a great meal and were quite full! We didn’t ask for dessert, but we recommend everything we tried. The staff was all very friendly. The service is not fast, but since the concept is to eat slowly while talking at the table, this didn’t bother us. The place is cosy, decorated like a Portuguese tavern with a modern twist.

Escolhemos este restaurante para almoçar, por já termos ouvido boas críticas. Não nos desapontou! Aqui pode-se petiscar ou pedir pratos principais, sendo que escolhemos a primeira hipótese. Fizemos uma óptima refeição e ficámos bastante satisfeitos. Pedimos pão, manteiga de ovelha, croquetes de alheira, queijo de cabra com compota de pimento, camarão ao alhinho e ovos mexidos com farinheira. Recomendamos tudo! Não provámos nenhuma sobremesa. Os empregados foram todos muito simpáticos. Achamos o atendimento pouco rápido, mas não nos importámos, dado que era um restaurante para petiscar. O ambiente é aconchegante, com um estilo de uma taberna moderna.

Had lunch here recently with my family during a brief visit to Setubal. We all shared a couple of servings of “choco frito” (fried cuttlefish, a local specialty) as an entrée, and it was good. I then had a fish and seafood rice, which was great. The others had various types of grilled fish, and everybody seemed happy. The service was very acceptable (especially considering that the place was full), and the prices were more or less within expectations.

The păos were awesome, just the flavour as describe in the menu. The pizza was good but nothing more special exempt the thin crust. For me it was too much cheese and not enough other ingredients.
service was quite poor... feel like un local even if we are.
9. Velho Cangalho

Reviewed By Luis S - Bien Hoa, Vietnam
Eating in Portugal is a job for the adventurous and for the cognoscenti. It's all the more fun when you have someone local to show you around. Generally, there are restaurants for every price range. This review is about one of the 'Family restaurants' that are so popular in Portugal with the Portuguese. These are rarely frequented by tourists, which is a shame as they are an inexpensive and tasty way to try 'real' Portuguese cuisine.
Velho Cangalho is one such restaurant, and it lives in the luxury of having establihsed itself as one of the first such restaurants in the area.
However, despite the name, it has lost some of its appeal of late. having taken on board fruit served with meat idea as adopted from Brazilian cuisine, it hasn´t evolved in the slightest in the last 15 years. And, whilst it is relatively inexpensive, the food has simply been overtaken, and, more often than not, the steaks are gristly and lacking in flavour.
I have eaten at Cangalho (both the Old (velho) and the new (novo) restaurants) and the quality is the same.
A 'bitoque' (pronounced bee-tok) is a traditional lunchtime meal: pork steak with chips, salad fried egg, and rice will set you back around EUR7-8. Their 'Terra e Mar' (Sea and Land) platter costs in the region of EUR23 and serves 2.
If you are not bothered by general blandness, you might actually enjoy the food, but why pay more when there are no less than 4 other restaurants within 4km that serve the same basic stuff and charge around 2-3 EUR less?
Again, I have nothing against the restaurant staff or the location (easy to find, easy to park, halfway between Palmela/Setubal and within easy reach of Lisbon and Freeport shopping outlet), it's just the food has really suffered of late from, how shall I put it? Lack of inspiration?

Taifa is not a Cafe. Taifa is not a Restaurant. Taifa is not a bar. Taifa is all the above, and much more...

Firstly is the only place in Setúbal with some good Thai food...
The tom yam soup is just yummy.
The staff is friendly and fun.
The place is a mixed of ages .. way of dressing...all sorts of music...from jazz to R&B..and some days they have live music.
So if you are in Setubal is a must.
