    a plate of pasta with shrimp and vegetables
    Rose M.

    So atmosphere is very beautiful and music is on constantly! Spanish music playing This place is very nice, the food is VERY DELICIOUS and prepared very well and pretty! The owner is amazing and the waitress is so friendly and kind. The bar and restaurant are split which I love and the dance floor is in the middle. definitely trying again! I would absolutely say give this place a try with no doubt!

    Gilda Café & Market is definitely a little gem! I've tried both The Antonio and The Murph, and let…read moreme tell you, the sandwiches are MUCH bigger than you would think! Come hungry because they are not playing around with those portions. The sandwiches are delicious, but I have to talk about the Portuguese treats. The classic pastel de nata was my FAVORITE! The pastry is so flaky, and that creamy custard filling makes it hard to stop at just one. Seriously, don't skip the natas! And the NATA LATTE?! I absolutely loved it. If you're already a fan of pastéis de nata, having those flavors worked into a latte just makes sense. Definitely something I would order again. We also tried the cod fritters, which were very good and another nice addition to everything else we ordered. Between the huge breakfast sandwiches, delicious Portuguese flavors, flaky natas and that nata latte, Gilda gives you plenty of reasons to come back. It's one of those places where you start thinking about what you're going to order on your NEXT visit before you've even finished what you have. Do yourself a favor: get a sandwich, but whatever you do, DON'T leave without a pastel de nata. And if you're a coffee person, try that nata latte too!

    super yummy pastel de nata and dare i say better than some of the ones i had in lisbon. it was the…read moreperfect amount of sweetness and the crust was so flaky. it wasn't too dry or doughy at all. they are really popular and seems to sell out pretty by like noonish on the weekends so be mindful of that! want to come back and try their food menu for sure. oh and the store is cute so thats a plus too

    While Philly has plenty to boast about in terms of offering cuisine from places like Mexico, China,…read moreItaly, and Vietnam, there are some countries whose foods do not have such presence here. Portugal would be one of those countries. When I visited Tierra Colombiana, I noticed a Portuguese restaurant across the street and vowed to check it out. While many of the Portuguese restaurants I have visited have been more upscale- Iberia seemed pretty casual which had me wondering about the food quality. But I liked what I saw when I looked at the menu- lots of meat and shellfish, and sausage on fire. When an appetizer is offered on fire, I can't really say no. Just like flamining saganaki- every time I order chorizo that is still on fire when served, I feel the same excitement I did as a kid. As I sipped my $2.50 glass of red, the "longaniza portuguesa" came out in flames, and crisped up in front of our eyes. Its a really flavorful sausage, though it might be too heavy to eat on your own. We also shared a dish of pork and clams with fried potatoes- enough for a group ($17). While the pieces of pork were dry, the clams, crisped potatoes, and especially the broth, were really impressive. I didn't feel bad drinking the buttery broth by the spoonful.

    Would give no stars if possible. Horrible experience, small hole in the wall bar restaurant. That…read morewas not the issue with my experience. My issue was the lack of professionalism and respect of customers. The experience was topped off by me realizing that the waitress had tipped herself $46 extra on top of the tip I actually left her on my credit card slip. Contacted restaurant, waitress immediately put on the owner who was rude and offered no apologies for his employee directly stealing from a customer. The owner would only take my issue seriously once I had to revisit in person. After we pulled slips and proved the tip scam really happened and it's clear I did get my $ back.
