What to Expect
Paula's Place in Eastlea is a Portuguese restaurant where reviewers mention the owner, Paula, stopping by tables to check on the meal. The order most people repeat is the half chicken and chips: Gary (June 2026) wrote “always have the 1/2 chicken and chips and never disappointed”, and Irm (July 2025) found the gravy did the work, since “the gravy definitely made it delicious otherwise the chicken would have been a bit dry”.
Waiters get named and thanked often, among them Keith, Tinashe and Tammy. Tinashe Ndoro (January 2026) singled out Keith, saying “He gave us the best customer service experience ever” and crediting Keith for making the visit memorable. Denzel (February 2025) rated the food highly too, adding “they have the best hake in town nevermind the chicken”.
The restaurant offers free WiFi and a hand-washing station, and several reviewers note the halloumi starter and Portuguese wine list. Grace, in 2025, liked the service but mentioned “it can get very cold on a chilly day”. Paula's Place is open daily, 12:00 to 22:00.
