De Sousa's - Southampton


Situated very close to the seaside, in Southampton, it has a very friendly service. The decoration is not in the traditional Portuguese style but you feel very welcome.

There is Portuguese and Brazilian music in the background, and in some evenings there is even have Fado music live.


The food was well cooked but the dish we chose - Carne de porco à alentejana - didn't exactly taste Portuguese. We felt that despite being well cooked, it was a bit adapted to the English taste. Also, the amount of food served was very little.

Well worth it though for the bread (broa de milho), the fresh draught beer (Sagres) and the Portuguese custard (pastel de nata) served warm which tasted wonderful. They also have a very nice selection of Portuguese wines.

Prices per dish range between 8 and 10 £. Considering the amount of food served, it is a bit more expensive than we anticipated but the location, being very touristy, has to be taken into account.
