Also being discussed on Trip Advisor. Some say it's being refurbished but the consensus is a big unknown.

Last I heard a Ukrainian had bought it, Gui's (head waiter) facebook page would indicate he is no longer employed there. I thought the plan was to carry on in the same way, but I guess not. I will see what I can find out.

So - the Ukrainians buggered off, leaving unpaid wages and social security, apparently. They just rented off Jorge, so I guess he will be looking for new tenants.

Some African folk have taken it over, very nice people according to my man in the know and they speak good Portuguese and English. Usual Jorge type menu at good prices during the week, but they told him they are looking to do African food at the weekend - whether this is alongside or instead of the regular menu remains to be seen. The take-away BBQ bit is not yet up and running, the chicken is being prepared in the normal kitchen at the moment. Again, whether they intend to change this is not known.

Hi. So as you guys were saying the African lady didn't go very well as she tried to change a lot of things and people stopped going there.
I'm currently together with my wife trying to bring the big Old Jorge restaurant back on feet. We have the same exact concept as Jorge had. He knows me since I was a little boy. He wasn't renting it anymore because he was depressed how people were treating the restaurant but he rented it to me knowing what I was capable off. So please guys come over the old concept is back and we want to make Jorge proud of his restaurant being back on its feet. Come for even just to say hello, Jorge is mostly all day here with me giving me some advice and helping me. Most of time he's sitting outside enjoying his retirement. Thank you so much. |
