I was in the ironbound section of Newark to have my dog groomed when I decided to wander the streets and learn about the neighborhood. I saw that Portugalia Bar & Restaurant was rated well so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Nice place for a drink at the bar accompanied with famous whole BBQ chicken or fried calamari. Pale in color French fries did not impress, dirty half-full ketchup bottles were disappointing. Cod fish Portugalia style and seafood rice were very good. The atmosphere of the place was average overall but food is mostly delicious.

Was recommended by a friend, bar on one side , dining room on the other. Excellent Portuguese food. Totally enjoyed this mini steak sandwich ! Parking is tough.. take UBER and drink more Sangria !

OMG the stewed Bacalau was huge and delicious! The grilled grouper was a bit bland so I asked for a garlic sauce; the potatoes and veggies were very good. Tres leches cake was most más not too sweet.

Food here is always great. I’ve came here twice in the past couple months for lunch but have came many other times in the past.

I’m a pollock. The food wasn’t for me. So I got a steak. Steak was OK. If you like seafood you probably love this place. The dining room was small and cozy. I wish I liked food more as I would enjoy going back. Everyone in my party of 4 loved the food. Appetizers were solid!

Maybe it’s a new kind of dish I didn’t know about, beans dipped in fat?? I really like Portuguese food, and I’ve never seen it before!! must be to kill the customers!! I ordered this food yesterday, and when I got home the surprise!! I was so hungry, and instead of getting home and eating, I had to redo it all over again!! if I didn’t live 1 hour away, I would definitely have returned

The staff were really nice and patient. Which is nice to see when the place is busy. Good food cozy feel in the restaurant side; like you’re in someone’s home.

Truly a special experience! Portugalia is not fancy nor does it give a sign of pretense. It is simply a genuine, awesome cultural experience in Newark! I live in the Bronx and come here because it’s that awesome!
