Calistos Portugese Restaurant

Head down to London Road in the Belgrave area and you'll find Calistos doing honest Portuguese food without any faffing about. The sort of place where you can smell the charcoal from the street and watch flames lick across chicken that's been marinated properly. It's unpretentious but genuinely good—they know what they're doing with peri-peri spice levels, fresh fish, and the kind of sides that make you forget about everything else. The vibe is warm and local; you'll see families, couples, and groups of mates all getting stuck in.
