Portadas Bar Restaurant — Restaurant in São Vicente

Went there for dinner, had the tuna steak, beef espetada and garlic bread.

Tuna steak was good, pretty large portion including sides and rice. Cooked well. The server was very kind and super chill, he does come around to ask how you like your meat cooked (medium rare) and it was perfect. The garlic bread was also good, crunchy outside and soft in the middle, served hot.

It was pretty quiet when we got there as it was before closing, which was nice. Perfect place to go after Pico Ruivo, as it is on the way down.

Menu is pretty straightforward and short, which makes choosing easier. Would...

The meat was tasty and cooked medium as ordered, however not evenly seasoned and probably made on too high fire, because it was quite burned from outside.

We stopped here for dinner yesterday - the espetada was incredible. Really good, simple, Portugese food. Lots of reviews about pricing but we thought it was really fairly priced and they even gave us a drink on the house.

They even offered to drive us home up the mountain after the rain started unexpectedly and they saw how woefully unprepared we were! Will definitely visit again!...
