What a fantastic little place! We had a birthday in our party, and the friendly entertaining owner turned the lights down and they sang happy birthday and presented a huge piece of cake with candle and a free bottle proseco! What a lovely gesture, she really is a good host, the food is amazing and lovely atmosphere with a singer serenading you in the corner! Would highly recommend this place !!!! X
Great restaurant, down to earth and relaxed. Staff are friendly and there’s a lot of banter, which was funny.
Food was delicious and I’d highly recommend the king prawns as a starter. We will be back soon.
Superb! Staff, food, atmosphere... i've seen some portuguese places by now, so can very firmly say this one is in top 3 ever. Really really good place!

Really very tasty food. we ordered Prawns , Clams , Salmon, Mussels & a dish with a large Prawn 🦐 with seafood mix rice
all of these were very delicious.
we really liked it.
overall we had a very good time
The best steak you will ever eat!
This restaurant was wonderfully authentic with a perfect atmosphere and very attentive and friendly service.
Visited for an anniversary meal, the seating was intimate which was exactly what we wanted, the food was delicious and after settling the bill, we were given a shot of port before leaving which I thought was a nice touch and perfect way to end a wonderful meal. Highly recommend visiting
We had a fine meal at The Portuguese Bar and Restaurant, amazing and authentic Portuguese food also thoughtful and attentive service from the lovely staff team! Do be sure to make a reservation. We will be back next time we're in Newquay!

Fancied something different whilst on holidays in Newquay. This place does not stand out from the outside primarily due to the location, but get inside and it is very inviting. Seemed a bit short staffed and chaotic, but this somehow added to the ambiance. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. The prices are as expected, but the food is delicious and with good portions and every one of our party was well impressed. The complimentary port at the end of the night was an exceptional touch - something that reminds us well of our various continental trips. In fact, enjoyed it so much, we went back two days later to see if it was a one off, and was not disappointed. Bit of a wait to get it but after trying other items from the menu, we all had nothing but praise for the chef and staff. We were even offered two doses of the complimentary port (one a bit stronger), and all went down a treat. The manager is a pleasant lady and we can hear her shouting instructions to the team, which again added to the feel of the place. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommended. Try it, you might like it to.
Best restaurant out of the other 5 we went to in Newquay during our one week stay here. Lovely vibe and service, the food was AMAZING and generous portion. The wait for the food was over 30mins but it was well worth it because they cook the food from scratch once you order them.
Best if you order some drinks and small snacks, the tomahawks were the bests seafood rice and crab chef’s way were also great!
Definitely our highlight in Newquay, car parking was a pain though in town…we almost missed our table! hopefully the council could do something about the parking.
Would definitely be back!
We went to this restaurant on the middle day of our holiday, we were a large group of 11, 4 adults, 7 children, we hadn't booked anywhere to eat out, they fitted us in without any issue at all, the staff were very accommodating, and couldn't do more for us, the food was all fantastic, came out at the same time and was very hot, we didn't have a bad meal out of the 11 we ordered, it was all very reasonably price and great sized portions too.
One last thing, the Portuguese custard tarts were probably the best I've ever had.
Had fantastic seafood and meat. Was lovely, tender, and delicious. Cocktails were lovely and the complementary dessert wine went down a treat. Service was fast and friendly, with the chef checking up on us during our meal.
Cannot describe how incredible the food was, lovely friendly service and warm welcoming atmosphere, perfect for our date night. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely the best place to eat in Newquay... No... Anywhere!! Such lovingly prepared, tasty, authentic dishes. The most incredible wine selection (and display 👌🏼) I've ever experienced. Personal service from the owner, she's just a diamond 💎 it's like going to eat at a favorite family member's home. Always the best welcome. Do not miss it ❤️
I came in with the idea of having fish but I saw the beef on display and I had to get a steak. I was not disappointed. Fantastic quality cooked just on point. We also had cod on the table and it was the biggest portion of cod I have ever seen in a restaurant, also very tasty. We also had the monkfish rice and octopus. The wine recommendation was good, we even had 2 bottles. And the staff were very friendly, they treat you like part of the family. Very happy with the decision of coming here.
Beautiful authentic food best portuguese food ive tasted in a long time
We have scampi n the sea bass grill.. the food was so amazing and authentic
Food was good. But had to wait some time for it.
The beef flat rib was so good! Really enjoyed that.
But my husband’s grilled chicken was dry and tough.
But sweet restaurant and a cute experience!

We enjoyed sea bass and octopus very much and were well looked after. Since food took a bit longer we were offered complimentary delicious bread and garlic butter. We had sangria which was also amazing. Very friendly and polite staff and even got a surprise of live music. Would 100% recommend!

Just had yet another absolutely amazing meal here! The staff are always wonderfully helpful and fun, the food is lush and the complimentary pastelas de natas where the best I’ve ever tried, probably because they came with a little pot of cinnamon which I have never tried with them before, Definitely something I will be seeking out on my next trip to Portugal and definitely a restaurant that we will continue to frequent! A perfect piece of heaven that’s always makes me feel like I’m on holiday every time we go there! Love it!!
Visited on our week long stay in Watergate Bay, and have to say this was a highlight. Beautiful food in a homely authentic restaurant, which has a family run feel of which you know they love their business with a passion. Fairly priced for the generous portion sizes and top quality of food. We had the seafood platter for starters, and they accommodated to adapt a main of ribs into a starter for us. The half chicken with garlic was divine, and my family had the seabass, ribs and steak. Sangria (by the jug!) also delicious.
Excellent service, thank you for a lovely meal out!
Mixed group of Portuguese and English people, everyone was extremely satisfied with the food and service, was a calm lunch and the restaurant wasn't busy though.
Mixed grill was fantastic, proper char grilled flavours, Dover was also great, no bones.
Couvert was great with 6 different types of butter and pates. Large portions on the mains, and price was quite acceptable given the quantity / quality and the usual tourist location rates.
We sat outside but indoors the restaurant looked modern and high end, alongside the toilets.
All in all would recommend for both a fellow Portuguese person or any other person visiting, as there is dishes catering for both types of taste.
