Tripadvisor Review
Come Alive at Nando’s
“I have had several visits to this restaurant in North Hobart for family birthdays or outings; it has a lovely vibrant atmosphere with interesting cultural decor, very friendly multicultural staff, fast service and delicious food with healthy options; prices are reasonable and good value for money. Only issue could be parking at peak times as it is located in the busy restaurant area of North Hobart; we have always managed to get parking but arriving early helps.”

Barcelos vs Nandos: What’s the Difference?
Both focus on flame-grilled chicken, prepared to order, seasoned with tart and fiery Peri sauce, the spiciness of which is determined by a visual scale of colourful, stylized chillies.
Nando’s focuses on grilled chicken, while Barcelos offers both grilled and fried chicken options. Nando’s also offers a wider range of sides and starters than Barcelos.
In terms of price, Nando’s is generally more expensive than Barcelos. However, both offer value for money in terms of the quality and quantity of food on offer.
Nando’s is the better option if you’re looking for healthy, grilled chicken dishes. If you’re looking for a wider range of food options, including fried chicken, then Barcelos is the better choice. Whichever you choose, you’re sure to enjoy some delicious chicken!
