"Cheap and good. I recommend this place for a quick lunch in the area. Portions are quite okay. Veal sausage are good. Beer is portuguese which is okay. Service is fast. There is no wait. There is a small outside area. Coffee is not bad. Prices are quite reasonable. Nearby tram are 14 and 18. Bus number 3 also nearby."

"Une belle découverte pour un restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine. Très bon moment au Portail à Genève, avec un accueil chaleureux et un service efficace. Les malakoff et la viande séchée étaient délicieux. Le steak était correct, les frites pas assez croustillantes à mon goût. L’ambiance est conviviale, même si légèrement bruyante. Une adresse sympathique."
