Literally like being in a traditional Portuguese cafe. Complete with Pastel de nata's.
Definitely worth a visit
Okay we drove for miles to get here after selecting an odd highly rated restaurant. It is next to the adjoining cafe which was half full and our side empty. So little assistance was given, waiting around for quite some time. The menu was strange and maybe just me, but I don’t remember the Portuguese food being so oily. It was so oily and salty that my daughter couldn’t eat it. Mine wasn’t much better with the meat so fatty. But maybe it’s to someone else’s taste, but not any of ours I’m afraid to say.
Very good café and restaurant!
Wonderful kind people!!
Amazing portugese tarts, the best i have ever had in my whole life they are warm and fresh. Coffee is also very good.
The food was good tasty, hearty food with huge portion. The steak sandwich was so good. Some dishes werent the best though such as the fish and chips. The food overall is very good homestyle portugese cooking
Service was amazing, the waiter really went out if his way to welcome us and create a top dining experience. He bought out tasters for us so we could see if we liked the daily special and changed the TV channel.The menu has a great range. The prices vary depending on what you get, but overall its very cheap and great value for money.
Definitely the best cafe in Bodmin so I highly recommend.
I had a fantastic experience at the property. The management team was exceptionally welcoming and provided excellent service. They were very helpful and contributed significantly to the enjoyment of my stay.
A little Gem in Bodmin! Friendly staff, great food & the most gorgeous sizzling big shrimp ???? in garlic sauce. It has got a quieter room at the back which is beautifully decorated. The espetada with beef & shrimp are very tasty. The cod fish dish with cheese topping very yummy. Condensed milk dessert wow! I will give you 5 ⭐️ if you can present a home made dessert.
A nice wine at a reasonable price ????
Lovely little restaurant just off the main street. If you like Portuguese food then you are in for a treat. Just popped in for a coffee but after looking at the menu had lunch there. Menu at lunch time caters for snacks but also meals from main menu. Food was well prepared , good sized portions and a fair price and tasted delicious. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. We had the Beef and prawn kebab and Garlic steak and home made wedges. We are passing Bodmin on Friday and will definitely stop there again for lunch.
We decided to try this place after seeing it on Facebook, the food on there looked lovely.
We eventually found it tucked away behind the High Street.
The menu when we went we found limited. I had a chicken burger and was disappointed to find it was a cheap frozen burger in the bun. I would have expected it to have been a proper chicken beast burger for that establishment. There wasn't anything else on the menu that I wanted to eat. My husband had a squid skewer, which he enjoyed, he also enjoyed the wine.
The service was very good, with friendly staff.
Sadly, we didn't like the atmosphere in the cafe/restaurant, the other diners were all Portuguese, and were speaking in Portuguese. We were being stared at constantly from said diners, which made us very uncomfortable, this is a real shame as they are trying to attract local custom.
Lovely friendly staff, beautiful food freshly prepared. Big portions, definitely value for money, will be back!
