Barca Restaurant

Barca restaurant 85 Columbia Street, Fall River Ma- This place is a little piece of Portuguese culture that is absolutely amazing. So clean and inviting. The owner Luis ais so friendly and his wife Rosa and their kitchen staff is the one that is bringing us the masterpieces of food! I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the vid fish dish but it was spectacular. Bacalhua a bras- try it - you won’t be disappointed. The octopus dish was fresh and tender. We also has the “Lapas” - limpets for the appetizer - if you know, you know! Highly recommend!

I'll start by saying it is a great presentation. Very clean and elegant. The drinks are great. We had an espresso martini, Super Bock, and of course some Ginjinha. The food was absolutely delicious! From the fresh bread and cheese, to the rack of lamb, and my favorite, the francesinha! We cannot recommend this place enough. We will return!

Atmosphere was very nice, and the food was delicious. The staff was also very nice and welcoming. I think I found my new favorite Portuguese restaurant. Update 2/15/25 I tried the Whiskey and Espresso Bife and it was amazing. The sauce was delicious and steak cooked perfectly. See last photo Can’t wait to come back!

Last summer we went to Spain and had a salted cod dish that was incredible! It’s been impossible to find someone who makes the fish until I found this place! I made a valentine reservation expecting to get the salted cod and they had a shortened menu for the holiday (the cod was not being served). What we ordered instead was delish, it was just annoying to not be informed prior. I would’ve rather come in a different day since all the reviews rave about the cod dish and other dishes that weren’t included on the shortened menu. I’ve never had Portuguese food but here is what we ordered: The bread basket was soft, served with butter. We ordered the fresh cheese appetizer, yummy. It’s a very soft and mild cheese, moist. The red pepper sauce was a tiny bit spicy but the spice does not linger.

First time at this restaurant. First impression a nice Portuguese restaurant which was smaller than I thought but had a nice vibe. I’ll post some pictures so you can see. They seemed to have a wall with a large wine selection. I had a sparkling moscato which was delicious. The staff seemed friendly maybe family run service was a little slow I’m guessing maybe short staffed. The menus seemed rather pricey but we all enjoyed are meals. Each plate was a good portion. We had pork and little necks it came with 4 little necks, lamb chops, beef cooked for 6 hours it did have some fat on it but seemed to melt off as you ate it. Beans and Chourico dish which was also flavorful but seemed more like a side dish than an entree to me. Overall I liked the atmosphere and food but difficult if your on a
