Brazas Portuguese Fusion — Restaurant in Eastern Cape

I reccomend eating at Brazas Portuguese Fusion. The food is absolutely delicious. (Parking is tight)

Service: Our waitress , Anazo , opened the door for us as we entered. She had plenty of patience while we chose a seating area.

Food : Let me just say , the food was served super fast. The pizza times are from Wednesday - Saturday 12pm - 9:30pm and Sundays 12pm-4pm. Sadly we missed the pizza.

Prawn Rissoles 💰 R69 Similar to a hash brown or fish cake, this dish stood out. The exterior was crispy, while the prawn filling inside was bursting with flavor, rendering it the best fish cake I've ever tasted. This starter comes highly recommended.

Portuguese Steak 💰 R189 The visual appeal of this dish was outstanding. Regrettably, the waitress overlooked asking about my egg preference; I prefer sunny-side up. The chips, however, were cooked to a perfect crisp. It's essential to enjoy them prior to eating the steak ,to prevent sogginess. The steak was exceptionally tender, juicy, and flavorful. I strongly recommend this dish.

Seafood Paella: 💰 R230 Considering the small amount of seafood, the price of this dish is excessive, even though the rice was tasty. We had not realized that our order was for a bowl of rice alone and had expected a more extensive platter.

Atmosphere: The owner's passion shines through. As seen in the photos, there are three separate seating areas. We chose the quieter upstairs seating with a city view, instead of the room next to the highway. The decor is tasteful, incorporating hand-painted beer bottles and...

I landed in East London and was immediately whisked off to a restaurant and enjoying the company of good friends...we hungrily devoured the most delicious river crab curry...sucking the flesh with the juice running freely down your arms...lost in the enjoyment, unconscious of the messiness... de-shelling the succulent peri peri prawns...nice sized and tasty ... the linguine prawn pasta was nice but a bit monotone...we come with a bit of restaurant snobbery given that we spoilt for choice with good restaurants in Gauteng...and tend not to expect much in EL...it was thus a lovely surprise to encounter a restaurant like Brazas Portuguese Fusion ..warm atmosphere, the walls adorned with lovely paintings, a bubbly owner-hostess and allround really good food...kicking off with the warm rolls lathered in butter and ending with the homemade lemoncello...not forgetting the decadent salty caramel cheesecake...washed down with a reasonably priced chilled sav blanc...if ever you make your way here make sure you order the river crab...all of this engulfed in comfortable companionship enwrapped in conversations of retirement, aging and love...one cannot ask for a better way to spend your...

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each more enticing than the last. For the main course, I chose the Peri Peri chicken, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The ingredients were fresh, and the fusion of flavors was expertly balanced, making every bite a delight.
