Never having eaten in a Portuguese restaurant (or been to Portugal) I had no idea what to expect. It was a cold evening and this is quite possibly why the restaurant was empty when I arrived, and only two other people came in a little later. Lucky me! I was able to have the full attention of Kevin, the owner's son, who went out of his way to explain a little about the food, and was so different from what French waiters used to be like (I find that the old-style arrogance has been replaced in much of Paris by personable, open, smiling young people. Kevin was so absolutely unaffected and friendly that it was one of the reasons I enjoyed my visit to Chez Rita.)
The other is the food! A lot of the menu seemed to be all about fish, but as I'm not really a fish person much, I decided to have a pork dish with vegetables (I don't remember the correct name). Surprise! A huge plate of food arrived, seemingly bigger than it really is because it was full of small shellfish as well - which gave even more volume to the dish in front of me. A feast for the eyes and for the stomach, but before this I chose a home-made chicken soup with round pasta to try and warm me up! Also delicious, and brought to my table by Rita herself. For dessert, what could I possibly have other than the world-famous Portuguese custard tarts (Pastéis de Nata), slightly warm and topped with cinnamon! The entire à la carte meal came to a reasonable 31 Euros.

I was in a rush, needed a hot meal for a quick lunch and had the soup of the day which was with small pasta and chicken.
It tasted amazing!
And it was cheap.
The server was really nice and accomodating upon my request.
The restaurant seems a bit small, but once inside you start feeling the cozyness.
