The original Diego's on Burgess Road, Southampton

Southampton, since 2007

It all began on Burgess Road

A small grill for the university crowd that turned into Southampton's favourite Portuguese kitchen. In 2013 we moved to Bedford Place. We are still family run, the fire pit is the same, and the welcome is warmer than ever.

As close as real Portuguese food as you can get. Simply delicious and a great cure for the homesickness feeling. Workers super helpful, and the food is just perfect.
