Barcelos - Crossing

I think I eat here at least once every week. And I have the same thing half portion chicken with chips. The entire staff here is very friendly even the cook pops out of that window to say high to me for some reason the cab drivers run their business from right outside the area which at first was really uncomfortable for me but I've grown close to then and if I don't have barcelos for a while they always ask where I have been. It's my cheers moment (where everybody knows your name). I do also love the trading hours they fit well into the Hatfield nightlife and also note they use gas stoves so food is available when there's load shedding.

I went to this Barcelos about a month ago and there was this special running for 4 pieces of chicken with 2 pap for about R78. My friend and I bought it and it was so good that we came back the next day and bought it again for people who love eating food that fills them up, this meal was definitely it. The restaurant has a charming appeal, it's great for just a nice lunch meet-up etc. The serving staff was really friendly and helpful; the lady at the was the one who suggested we buy the meal because we were going to buy a 2 piece meal x4. Overall, I really liked the place.

In 2017 I Used to stay at city lodge just adjacent and Being a Kenyan we eat Ugali or Pap that wasn't available at City lodge and Barcelos Hatfield was the only place I could enjoy this meal at affordable prices and I can't forget to mention the waiter by the name Zama, very professional.

Cool place with fairly affordable meals, making it ideal for its location close to the University. Service is quite modest and the meals are usually great.You can also use this as a public meeting place for discussions and business meetings. However, there are times when you might find your chicken insufficiently cooked, with red blood still sticking to the bones.

Good service! Friendly staff! Highly recommended! Good Food! Great taste! Nice environment! Take your friends, mates, family there or go alone for a quick bite, work lunch (quick in and out) and you will thoroughly enjoy yourselves. No regrets that I visited to enjoy a nice meal! I will definitely visit them again. Hopefully they get the TV they are waiting for so that customers can enjoy a cold draught while watching their favourite sport/games. Check it out, you won't regret it!
