Ate there last night. The octupus was off, the credit card machine was broken, as was the coffee machine, and there was no vanilla ice cream. However, none of that mattered. A very friendly welcome and attentive staff. Good food very reasonably priced and lovely atmosphere. Definitely not pretentious. Will return. Sangria is to die for

Had a lovely meal here, the food is slightly different to the usual Tapas fare, with amazing Octopus and Clams. Great seafood! The service was friendly even though we were in a big group that arrived really late as well...

When the food and service is as good as this you really just want the restaurant to get patronage, this family run business serves great food friendly atmosphere and a welcoming reception well worth a visit and let them guide you, you won't be disappointed..

We would highly recommend this restaurant. We went to the Portvcale Lounge for a birthday meal and we loved it. As soon as we arrived the staff were very attentive. Choose from the Portuguese tapas, there is quite a few but don't miss the Lamb meat balls and the pork, the cod, the piri piri chicken. Antonio, the owner, is... More

We spent one night in Bath recently and had our evening meal at this charming little restaurant. The waiters were friendly, helpful and even recommended the dishes for us (at our request). The food was outstanding we would suggest you try the meatballs and the bean stew. This restaurant is a little gem providing excellent food at outstanding value.

Managed to walk past this place without giving it much of a 2nd thought whilst staying in bath for a weekend, located just a few doors down from my apartment it was easy to miss, and boy would it have been a shame to have missed this place. The food here was amazing, a small selection of mains and around... More

How hard should it be to get four drinks? 3 arrived very quickly but the 4th took an age. The food when it came was excellent but it was disappointing what was not on the menu.Agian the wait between courses was unacceptable.The offer of free coffees (without us asking) was welcome but how hard was it to remember 2 brandies?...
