The Flavours Cafe

A must try place. The food was amazing, I will definitely come here more times. I have ordered fish maqueca: rice, salad and cod cooked in a very delish sweet pepper sauce. The price was affordable and the portion was filling. I have bought also a pastel de nata, unfortunately I wasn't really happy of this one... It was flaky and crunchy which it's good but there wasn't enough custard and the custard didn't taste good, it was sour which makes me think the pastel de nata was quite old. I would have liked also some cinnamon to add on top. I will definitely come back for the main dishes :)

Tried for the first time and it was amazing. I had the picanha with rice and chips (£12) and my partner had fish mocequeca (£8). They also give you a complimentary bowl of black beans which was good too! (so much better than the regular baked beans). Only downside is that the Paste de Nata was a bit dry. Other than that, the dishes were great and the staff were very nice!

The last time I was in St John’s Shopping Center Market, I spotted a Brazilian/Portuguese Cafe/Food kitchen; Flavours, with a personal promise to myself the next time I was around I would drop in, as I was very intrigued with their Brazilian Pastry that’s stuffed and deep fried called a ‘Pastel’ as they looked so inviting I had to try one. Staff were incredibly inviting and helpful as I was very new to this dish. Freshly Homemade in front of me, I requested the filling to be minced beef and cheese, there is also chicken if ya fancy. Served with a Milky Coffee (Latte), it was all just perfect and more that I expected, deliciously warm and a delightful example of Brazilian cuisine and great value. On enquiry I asked about their Bean/meat stew, as that also spotted my eye, they only do it on a Saturday. I will be back for it and some more ‘Pastels’, can’t wait. Excellent work, wishing ye all the best as this is the food I love, local created with passion and of course a homemade touch 🤗😊x
