Food quality is OK but the Service is rubbish. The worst thing is the manager's attitude regarding dealing with non-Portuguese people. The English menu is not priced, there is no wine list - you just get shown a shelf with unpriced bottles, and the only beer on offer is from Portugal. There are much better places to go for real Portuegese food than this.
We, my wife and I, were actually in a really good mood, that was until we went to the restaurant. We were not seated, we were pointed to our seats. When asked about the menu, he waiter was actually upset. The food portions are qute big, quite salty for my taste buds. The service however is horrendous. No smile, no welcome, it is almost like you should feel fortunate just to be served. The worst thing being, when my wife went to the restroom, a RAT ran past her. That gave her quite a fright. When the questioned the owner, he gave a "So what should I do?" look.
I've been a couple of times, it is one of those place where you 'have' to go. The food is pretty good, portions are large and cheap, but the place is always too crowded, and and it is filthy - even by Macau standards.
Since 1999, I used to go to Fernando's several times. However the attitude of the waiters especially the owners is getting worse and worse. Last April we found a cockroach in our Sangria. The junior owner did not even bother to say sorry. It was really embarrassing, since we had guests from overseas visiting us the first time in Hong Kong and we told our guests that we will have a very nice dinner during our trip to Macau. Food is great, but attitude is getting worse compare to earlier years. Cockroaches can happen, but what bothers is that not even a Sorry was said. A British lady who lives at Hac Sa since 2001 said she used to go there often before. Since recent years she isn't enjoying going there often, because especially the junior owner gives guests the feeling that they are not really welcome. Attitude is: '.. we got enough guests waiting every day. If you are unsatisfied and stay away does no harm to us'
This a great place to go on a sunday if you have more than a few people 4 or 5 over the food is good. The pig, prawns in clam sorcue, Stude beef, .Its only cheap cuts. Though with lots of garlic Although i have been many times i had a bad stomach a few times after going. Its a nice place to go. The two owners are as rude as you would ever hope to meet all in all i will no longer be going as the owners. Do not seem to be greatfull of anyone who cares to spend there cash there. No Desserts to talk about either.
and can`t wait to go back again. The beer was cold and the ambience was warm. Try to sit in the back where the restaurant really opens up.
The food was average for Macau. Service was slow, and when we sent a dish back because it was undercooked, the manager was surprisingly rude about it. This is a restaurant that is largely resting on it's laurels. I was there ten years ago, and back then it was actually good. Now it's just not worth the trip out.
Love the suckling pig and crab in a pot. Also feel it is great value for beers and wine. Will most definitely go again!!! Got a cab from the ferry and driver told us to go back bus which cost very little!!
They have made their name that it seems they have "I dont care attitude". Ordered BBQ chicken and grilled fish and the chicken was some red (uncooked) and the grilled potatoes and vegies were "dead" soggy. Told the waitress and she was kind enough to speak to the boss and over the table I could see his response by body language - shrugging shoulders and "big deal", many customers waiting to eat this (crap) and this is how we serve it. Please please do not go there, there are some more small portugese restuarants that do wonderful food. But avoid this overtly flattered place! Their attitude is absolutely snotty. Wait till my review book comes out!
I am an Australian foodie and have just spent ten days in Hong Kong for the rugby sevens (my first rugby game ever). During our stay we ate at Yung Kee's in Central, HK, the Tung Po Seafood Restaurant at 2/F Java Rd. Complex Cooked Ctr., 99 Java Rd., North Point(AKA Robbies) and the night street restaurants at at the back of the South Pacific Hotel off Morrison Hill Road in Wan Chai. I am telling you this because the food at these venues was extraordinary. The food at Fernando's was very very poor by comparison and I cannot understand why it would be recommended at all. The prawns were muddy and pastey and I left them untouched after I bit into one. My recommendation...don't bother.
