Taste of Portugal

I absolutely loved Taste of Portugal in Newark. The restaurant is quiet, with nicely set tables, and the servers speak Portuguese — which is such a warm touch, especially for Brazilians. The codfish was impeccable, truly delicious, and the fried calamari was also excellent. Honestly, everything I tried was really good. On top of that, the prices are very fair for the quality of both the food and the service. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to many times!

Absolutely perfect "white tablecloth" old school service, food, and ambiance. Tried the Duck rice and the beef stew, both we amazing home-style cooking with top of the line ingredients cooked to perfection. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Best grilled fish I’ve ever had!! Fresh and grilled perfectly with crispy skin. And the seafood soup was creamy, filled with seafood and delicious. Fresh bread and olives completed our lunch. Olives were good too. We asked for more! We parked in their parking lot just diagonal from the restaurant. The tables in seating section by the bar is casual. Beautifully set tables with white linen in the main dining room just across. Friendly atmosphere. Excellent service. Price is reasonable and comparable to any chain restaurant out there. But the food is 100 times better than the chains. We can’t wait to come back to try the steak on hot stone and their paella.

Had a FANTASTIC time today. Two of us drove from Connecticut, one from Philly (virtual coworkers who wanted to meet on the middle). Never been here. The food was excellent, the wait staff was awesome and very accomodating considering we parked our butts for some time to catch up. It was totally worth the 2.5 hour drive up and 4 hours back (LOVE traffic, lol). Highly recommend and WILL be back!!

I celebrated my sweet 16 at this restaurant, and the food was absolutely incredible. Though it can be a bit pricey, the quality is worth it. The event room comfortably accommodated 7 to 8 tables, which was perfect for our gathering. The bright ambiance, thanks to the large windows, added to the charm. Additionally, having their own parking lot is convenient, although it can occasionally fill up.
