Debora Chaitlall (Debs) a year ago
This place is one of my favorite spots to just relax and take a break from the world. The atmosphere is calming, making it the perfect setting to sit, talk, or just enjoy some quiet time. The food is always amazing, and their iced coffee—my absolute favorite—is the best I’ve had. Whether you’re catching up with a friend or just looking for a peaceful place to recharge, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Last minute call for reservations on valentines day for party of three and was well accommodated surprisingly. Food was delicious 😋, staff was welcoming and friendly. Especially Eddie he recommended one of his specialty cocktail 🍸 that should be put on the menu💚. The peach Sangria and salmon was really good. Highly recommended will visit again.💚💚💚

This restaurant is a wonderful pearl in the rough of the JFK/Jamaica suburb experience of New York City. As an ardent lover of Portuguese grilled octopus I was immediately attracted here and with each dish I was treated to a warm ambiance that allowed me to relax and forget about the rush of travel and just appreciate the savory experience.

A first with Portuguese food. The sampler to share is enough for 3, a mix variety of seafood, meat and a little of vegetables. Steak is up to expectation, done medium, tender when you take a first bite. The pork/potatoes is very different from Spanish cooking, superb. At the time of our dinner, it's pretty late, the kitchen closes earlier on a Thursday, between 9:30-10. Try for yourself and get the taste, you won't regret it.

What a first date I had at this charming restaurant in the middle of Queens - vibrant and culturally diverse borough of New York City. Tranquil vibes and awesome atmosphere along with the delicious Portugese cuisine and welcoming service is truly a perfect combination for a great dine out experience with your family or significant other. Skirt steak, prime rib and octopus for appetizers are some of the 5-star courses on the menu! Sangria is a must get! Cannot wait to come back soon!

The food was so good. Most people don't speak english, so that was weird. But i was able to order food and the menu was in english. I would go back again, it was really good food!!!

This restaurant has 2 parts... a formal dinner area & the bar with a less formal dining area. I've been in the bar area several times. Has a sport's bar football club theme, but not overpowering in decor. It feels like a neighborhood spot that anyone can feel comfortable in. Lots of TV screens. Atmosphere is fun & relaxed. The bartenders are so inviting. One time I went, they had a promotor... free shot of Tequila! Went down quite nice! You will have a great time either going by yourself or with friends. Everything I've eaten was quite yummy. A touch of Portugal 🇵🇹

Stepping into O Lavrador for a traditional Portugues meal is as close as you can get to time traveling in Jamaica Queens. Firstly there's onsite parking in an isolated lot connected to the restaurant. Once you enter the restaurant you experience the warmth, culture, and heritage of old world Portugal . From the old works artwork, to furniture, to comfortable atmosphere, everything about O Lavrador screams a great time. Authentic Portugues cuisine, grilled meats, fresh flavorful seafood, and a seperate bar on the offer side of the wall. What more can you ask for.

Dinner for 2 (3 if you count our baby). One of the best meals we had in a long time. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Food was 10/10. There wasn’t anything we ordered that we did not love. Service was excellent. Our waiter Khi catered to our every need. I’m not lying when I say we would make this place our regular and try everything on the menu.
