O Girasol

Love this place, food is great and staff are lovely. They really care about their customers. The cheesecake is the best

This little café has two things going for it. The head waitress is awesome & the food is cheap. However, if u are Portuguese & know the cuisine well u will be disappointed. They obviously catering to the English palette what with brown sauce on peri peri chicken. Portions are plentiful, chips are great & so is the salad.

Very friendly people and excellent coffee, much better that the cool-​looking place down the road with unfriendly and rude staff (Kahvah). The Portuguese cakes are really yummy and service is really quick and with no-​fuss attitude. Looks like a good mix of local people are regular every morning.

A definite thumbs up! Great food made with fresh produce, reasonable prices and always a warm welcome. I love this place! Open from 7am to 7pm, great for a morning caffeine fix, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, …I could spend all day here!!!
Run very efficiently by a lovely, Portuguese family. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are caring without being fussy. Very welcoming for young, old and everything in between. Also very convenient for West Norwood train station and for families needing a bite to eat after a funeral.
This place is like a ray of sunshine in West Norwood! Just look for the sunflower!

In my opinion the nicest place to eat in West Norwood. There isn’t a lot of competition but among that that there is O Girosol is the most friendly. Children are really made a fuss of by the owner and his colleagues. You can have a good tuck in to fresh and simple meals with an excellent coffee and if you wish you can have a glass of wine as it is licensed. Opens on Sundays too if you can’t be bothered to do the Sunday roast yourself. I much prefer this to nearby Sorrento which is a bit overpriced and the quality of food is what you’d expect from ingredients apparently from Lidl no attempts to hide the labels.
In O Girosol they serve generous portions with a smile and a joke and it’s a cosy place to go on a chilly day.

This is my Hangover Recovery Place!
A fantastic little café in West Norwood, offering everything from English Breakfast to more Portuguese influenced dishes (it is a Portuguese Restaurant after all!).
Service is great and while it is not the most stylish place in the world, it is good based on the area.
Well worth popping in for some lunch some time. — And if it is a Saturday morning and you see a rather dishevelled group of people in the corner eating Full English with a beer, that may well be me and my friends!

great little place on the norwood high street. super friendly people always open for a nice chat. portugese delicacies.

This is one of the first places I went to with friends upon arriving in London. My Brazilian friends like to go there because the owners are Portuguese, and there are some dishes with a Portuguese influence. However, most of the food seems to be suited to British tastes, they even offer an English breakfast and jacket potatoes, though chips aren’t on the menu.
Out of the two times I have been, I have ordered the penne pasta with onions and sausage, for the reasonable price of 4.95. It’s a menu item that has exactly what I want in a meal, so I can’t persuaded to try other things just yet; the fulfillment that dish offers is just too great.
Overall, this is a reasonable and cute café off the high street with friendly people and good tasting food, pop in for lunch sometime.

Great little Portuguese restaurant. Clean and friendly and miles better than any of the greasy spoon and fried chicken joints that populate most of Norwood High Street. The custard cakes and rice cakes (Bollos) are great.
