Harden's says

Near the shiny new Vauxhall riverside developments, this Stockwell two-year-old (with hidden ‘Olive Tree Garden’) aims for a festive experience aiming higher than is often associated with Portuguese cuisine. Too few reports yet for a rating.

“Great fun on a Friday night, when there’s music and dancing” – this large Stockwell venue opened three years ago, near the new Thames-side developments surrounding Vauxhall and Battersea; and comes complete with an ‘Olive Tree Garden’ for the summer months. “The food is typically Portuguese – ample and fulfilling!”

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

Near the shiny new Vauxhall riverside developments, this Stockwell two-year-old (with hidden ‘Olive Tree Garden’) aims for a festive experience, aiming higher than is often associated with Portuguese cuisine. One early report captures it well: “If you’re a Portuguese ex-pat then I suspect the menu at Lusitania will be a comforting reminder of home. With its well-cooked classic dishes and big portions, nothing really stands out as excellent, but it’s all good. The dining room is large, can get noisy, and there’s a big-screen TV”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
