"Pasteis de natas may be the main attraction at this Portuguese café and market in Fishtown, but its small collection of breakfast sandwiches is more than worth a trip. The Antonio, for example, is packed with eggs, cheese, and linguiça sausage." - George Banks-Weston
"This instant must-go-to-immediately-for-lunch spot has already garnered a loyal following with only one year in business. From their tasty grilled piri-piri chicken with fries to their Pastéis de Bacalhau (salt cod fritters with lemon and parsley) — there’s not a single unexciting option on their cultural, flavorful, and lively menu." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
"The Portuguese-influenced-café-Philly-didn’t-know-it-needed is here serving up the most sweet and savory natas, tasty salt cod fritters, tinned sardines, and massive sandwiches that can’t be found anywhere else. Ideal for a breakfast pick-up or a lunch for champions — Gilda embodies the true neighborhood spot that’s ambitious enough for the entire city to love." - Ernest Owens
"This Portuguese cafe on Girard makes airy pasteis de nata that would be worth crossing the city to eat. But they also have great breakfast sandwiches with housemade linguiça and a fried egg, as well as lunchier things like salads and a platter that comes with fries and grilled chicken slapped with piri piri. Meet someone here for coffee or a daytime date. Or just bee-line for a blistered, sweet egg tart when you wake up at 9am on a Saturday after a sh*tty week." - candis mclean
"This Fishtown cafe serves up some of Philly’s best pasteis de natas and other Portuguese pastries. It also has a market with a nice collection of tinned fish, just stop by to see the current offerings." - George Banks-Weston
