Food is very salty, but I suppose that's how the Portuguese like it. Seemed overpriced for the quantity and quality. Unimpressive. Had much better traditional Portuguese food in North America.

Very good portuguese food. Every dish serves two. Excellent quality service always.
Recommended by our hotel. Must be a relative. We were hungry from all day travel and got there about 4:30. It was open but still in the process of prepping for evening customers. I think the staff was having a competition as to who could be louder - both by yelling at each other and by throwing the cutlery into the storage bins. Other staff were rolling large garbage bins and shopping carts in and out of the restaurant through the front door and luckily for us, beside our table. For traditional Portuguese food, it was lacking in both flavour and lustre. I had the vegetable soup which was rice in a broth with a few green things floating in it. My partner had the cordon blue smothered in fries. Very little flavour except for the overpowering blue cheese in about one or two bites of the total meal. Overall, this was a disappointment and for 43 for soup, croquettes, one meal and two small bottles of wine I don’t feel it is worth the the effort and cost especially after listening to the banter (arguments?).
Cosy place, delicious local food & good service
We're told to go up back and find a set. Sitting down there is bagged roles, glad wrapped cheese, and some sort of meat dish out in front of us. The waiter promptly came to take our order of which we'd decided on the Portuguese steak. There was no other questions, nothing about how we'd like the steak, or what sides etc. When asked where drinks we'd like I answered with what is the common response in Portugal ed wine please\ and the voice back at me was simply \bottle?\ Of which it just took a look for the waiter to understand \of course\. Our steaks arrived on a silver plate and I was surprised by the level of skill in the silver service used to move the steak and gravy to our plates. The steaks themselves were what I'd say is bad at best. Very dry, very over cooked, and in NZ I'd have sent them back in a heartbeat. The potatoes however where good. What I'm struggling with at the moment is how to pay at the end of the meal. It's very American style where you ask for the cheque and wait. However we spent longer waiting for the cheque than we did ordering and waiting for our food. I don't think the NZ way of walking up to the counter to pay is done at all, and would cause great confusing. Average meal. But at least the company was great :)
This has been my second trial of Colina; definitely overpriced for the quality of food and the service , moreover the waiter was rude! I would like to warn the tourists who stay around Saldanha and are recommended by their hotels to go to Colina for Portuguese food
Busy place but we were at a table within about 10 minutes although it was kind of odd waiting as nobody came over to us. I had the grilled cod and it was actually very good, however I do not like all the oil on the bottom of the plate that seems to be prevalent here. However the shrimp curry was not so good, the shrimp were tasteless and not enough curry sauce to cover the rice. if you want a good piece of cod that's grilled I'd recommend it anything else try somewhere else.
The food was fantastic. The steak was great and the potatoes were very delicious. The cod was also very good. The service was very friendly. The waiter recommended us an excellent port at the end of our meal. This place also had English menus, which we really appreciated. This is not the most touristy of places (the interior and plates/cutlery are very no-frills and have canteen vibes), but good for casual local dining.
