Os' Camacheiros Restaurant in Medway

Very friendly staff, great food and atmosphere. Will certainly be dining there again and have already recommended to others .

It's the best atmosphere I've ever imagined. Thank you so much for that beautiful day that we celebrate my wife's birthday.

Wow just found this place after a walk around the castle. Had a ‘light’ lunch. Superb. Great friendly and helpful staff. Thank you. Baked meat sandwich and a spinach & cheese omelette 👍😋

What an amazing gem of a place and such a charming find!!! Food is delicious and staff and ambience are wonderful!!! Had a range of starters, mains and desserts and everything was equally delicious. Staff were very patient and kind explaining all the different options. Can’t wait to return and to tell all of our friends! Thank you for a lovely experience!

The restaurant was nicely decorated and at first staff members were friendly. Had been really looking forward to eating here and most of the food was delicious but I felt it was quite expensive and there were some disappointing things- requested rare steak skewer was very well done, meat was generally dry and overcooked. Service was also erratic and although when our order was taken, they were at pains to ensure that we knew we had a time limit on the table, they were slow to take our dessert order and even though we had finished in plenty of time, slow to bring the bill so I felt pressured to leave quickly. They also had traditionally dressed musicians and dancers, so loud! Impossible to have a conversation when they were performing and I didn’t enjoy it at all, if I was ever to go again I would check that they would not be performing! (I know that sounds churlish and some people seemed to enjoy it so maybe just me, I am not a fan of Portuguese folk music I guess!)

Lovely friendly staff nice & relaxed atmosphere excellent food couldn't fault

Very good service and friendly environment really enjoyed our food and drink was on the top me and my friend went for lunch it was really lovely time .

This lovely restaurant booked us in at the last minute, although near on fully booked, they managed to squeeze us in. Food was delicious, staff friendly, attentive and diligent. Will definitely be returning and highly advise others to go.

First visit, a Thursday evening / loved it. If your Gluten free, you will find something on the menu. Ask and talk to the server. Will definitely go again. I will definitely go back - even with an automated service charge applied.

Lovely Madeiran restaurant, go hungry the skewers are massive. I've tried the fish, the chicken and the sausage, all are fantastic.

Loved this place, great hidden gem if you're not from the area, but 100% worth a visit, great for kids as well. Can't wait to come back

Good food served by pleasant and polite staff.

Friday 12 o'clock walked into camacherios sat in back garden beautifully planted, umbrellas for shade. Ordered large prawns, salad and potatoes. I was transported to Madeira sun, good food excellent service. Complimentary drink. Heaven.

Saturday evening, dinner. Booking essential. By way of a brief disclaimer I am a big fan of Portuguese food and used to live in Portugal, so you might wish to take that into account when reading this review. They have made a real effort with this restaurant and the attention to detail was what tipped it into the five star bracket - which I am normally very reticent to hand out. Everything was authentic, from the Portuguese branded butter to the hangers on the tables for the espadatas (kebabs). Wine, little aperitifs, desserts. They have done everything really really well and their staff are attentive and hard working. The place is clean, spacious, has parking opposite and is well decorated taking me back in time to Portugal and some of my favourite places there. The food is not cheap, but it is worth every penny. Highly recommended and I’ll be back.

Wow, wow, wow!! There are not enough words to express how happy we are with the food, atmosphere and service. We celebrated our 25th anniversary here tonight and was over whelmed by everything. Destiny looked after our party of 30 and went above and beyond for us. She was amazing and certainly a credit to your establishment. She helped to make our anniversary just that bit more special. Thank you so much Destiny. Also a big thank to the rest of the staff who were running up and down the stairs especially as it was so hot. We will definitely be back.

We went here for a 25th Anniversary last night,, the service was great especially from Destiny and the lady behind our bar upstairs both couldn't do enough for us.

I attend here last night for a 25th Wedding Anniversary. Destiny went above and beyond, all evening. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. The food was amazing.

Return trip and very good on every account as usual. We've been here a few times and always lovely and discovered the outside courtyard this time too. Thoroughly recommend it.

Amazing. Simply amazing. If you can't find something you like then it's gone overfor you on the gastronomic scale!

We held our daughters engagement meal there today. It's not an understatement to say that it was absolutely fabulous The food, service and ambience was amazing. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. They really made my daughter and her fiance feel special. I would highly recommend the restaurant. Bravo and Obrigado Os Camacheiros, we will be back!!

This was recommended by a friend when first opened Went for lunch to celebrate a birthday today Lovely place great food and fabulous staff Would heartily recommend it

The food and service here was amazing. Some of the best I've ever had and pretty generous portions. My only issue was that we went on a Friday night, which was entertainment night. They had a singer and she was good. Only problem was that when she was singing we couldn't actually even talk to the person sitting next to us. This went on for at least 3 hours! I'm all for live Entertainment, but this was a bit much tbh. Think you could either cut down on it a bit a less is more approach or alternatively, get a sound system that isn't quite so dominating? Just a thought...

Fantastic food and the staff are amazing 😍

My three friends and I had lunch here as two of our party had been before and recommended it. We were not disappointed ! Lovely food, a waitress who was bold enough to make suggestions without being pushy and little complimentary drinks before and after our main. I spotted the notice mentioning that service was not FAST as all food was cooked to order - no complaints from me with that outlook ! A lovely lunch in good company. I gave "atmosphere" only 4 stars as I have no idea what to expect. The decor is fascinating and the whole place has the family feel. We will return ! Thanks. Steve

Fantastic place. The creamy port sauce is to die for!

A Portuguese interlude in the UK. If you are in Rochester, Os Camacheiros is worth crossing the bridge for typical Madeiran family cuisine that will give you a change from pubs and Fish&Chips. Almost at the water's edge!

Service was on the ball no issues food was on another lever drink we u best be able to handle that 100% quality with out fail

Perfect. Every part of this place was amazing. The food? Delicious. The service? Polite and patient. Barely waited 10 minutes for our food, which was quite a large order.

Lovely food ,really full of taste. Great atmosphere peaceful and relaxing Lovely helpful friendly staff Highly recommended 😄

Friendly staff, beautifully designed restaurant and the food is 10/10. Nice date spot.

Came here on recommendation, was lovely. Great food and atmosphere, not too busy on a Sunday evening. Staff very friendly and helpful Great family run business.

Beautiful hidden gem in Kent. You would never think you are in Kent. Food is amazing and service also amazing. Will definitely be back.

Came here for an early dinner, decor is great, staff were fantastic really chatty . Was early so quiet however it was lucky we booked as the restaurant was fully booked that evening ( Friday ) food was delicious I had sardines and a chicken chorizo skewer followed by a lemon merengue. All homemade and very tasty

This place was absolutely lovely, delicious authentic tasting Portuguese food and wonderful service! We went here on a whim on a walk in Upnor and it really is a hidden gem. The atmosphere was lively but cosy. We got free shots before AND after our meal! The House Special is a really good deal because not only do you get one of the massive skewers, you also get olives and starters, 3 sides and a dessert! We had the lamb and the tofu veg skewers and we were absolutely stuffed after everything at the end. It was all deliciously grilled as well. The flaming chorizo was wonderful and fun. The molotof whipped egg dessert was fluffy and delightful. We chatted to the waiter Antonio after and he was so friendly, mature and polite and told us all about the restaurant. We will definitely be coming here again and bringing our friends, it was amazing value for money and the food was absolutely stunning!

Well worth a visit.. excellent service, great food, fabulous atmosphere, great staff.. 👍

This place is a little gem. Food is yummy 😋 and the service was excellent. Will certainly go back again.

If you want fast food at the lowest possible price, then this isn't the place for you. If you want high quality flavourful food, cooked fresh to order and served by attentive staff in an interesting building, and you understand that it costs actual money to do all that properly, then dive in! This place is a firm family favourite for special occasions.

We've literally just got back from this place and we've been talking about it the whole way home. It's nicely hidden away but really beautifully laid out, really friendly staff, ridiculously quick with getting the food out to us, and the food was amazing. Our little 6 year-old said it was the best chocolate brownie he's ever had! So glad we stumbled upon it and next time we'll be back with an even bigger party.

After recommendations from friends, I visited here yesterday evening..was not disappointed.. Great ambience,staff were fantastic,and nothing was too much trouble. The food was so lovely too

Food 10/10 Management 5/10 couldn't understand their own instructions on menu Atmosphere 5/10 lovely building, but live music was too loud

Came here on mothers day 2024. Incredible food, friendly staff and great ambience. Would come here over and over again. Thanks so much. X

Amazing Atmosphere. Tasty food and best service!!!

Excellent service and a lovely meal love it See again. Soon

Amazing restaurante with great food and wonderful atmosphere, highly recommended 👌

Extensive authentic menu, prawn picado absolutely delicious, big portions, skewers looked amazing, good selection of wines, super bock beer on tap, truly felt like I was in Madeira even though it was a rainy grey day, authentic decor, excellent staff, great service. Honey tea was the icing on the cake!

My wife and I attended this evening on valentines, exceptional service from all waiters complimentary to delicious foods. I recommend the ‘sharing flaming chourico’ an amazing starter! Thank you much, R

Near miss. Nice venue, some good ingredients and staff who seemed to care. It wouldn't have needed much to be different to be a really good meal. Unfortunately the prawn, squid, and veal skewers were overcooked and the vegetables were reminiscent of school dinners. Good coleslaw, chips, mussels and halloumi though. Service was rather chaotic, where they didn't appear to know what was happening. Seemed to be plenty of staff, but 3 different people all trying to deal with us.

Wow my sort of restaurant It was buzzing

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, the starters we had were incredibly delicious which had us anticipating great things for the main, however when these arrived they were very unwhelming and lacking flavour.

Had the best evening! The food was really fresh and delicious, much better than we expected. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back! All your staff were so friendly and didn’t keep us waiting for anything. Great!

Very good food, very good service. I have visited 3 times in the last 5 weeks and it was very good every time. I would highly recommend it

What an amazing experience for a family mid week evening, if you haven't been there yet then it's your loss

Visited today with my gf and our son, staff were very friendly food was great and will definitely visit again if in the area.

It’s for a sure beautiful place but today was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a restaurant, they had birthday so our food was 2 hours late. We got free complimentary bread and butter to say sorry? Also may I say the food was bland. Being Portuguese myself, big let down.

We went on a sunday lunchtime. Food was ok. Lamb was ok , a couple of pieces a bit chewy. Corn on the cob tasted weird & neither of us ate it . The saute potatoes were very disappointing. Staff were lovely, but i thought it was expensive for what it was

Great restaurant, great food and great atmosphere

what a fabulous restaurant , a little Gem of a place, four of us went there on a Friday evening, and what a fantastic time we all had, really great food Fatima and her staff were terrific, the food was absolutely exceptional, a really quirky place with a really enjoyable atmosphere, we have put OS, Camacheiros in the number one spot for places to return to 12 out 10 thanks to you all for a really great evening.

We tried this restaurant for the first time today. The establishment was clean with a quirky decor. Overall the menu was a little vague but luckily the waiter we had was absolutely brilliant and described what each of the dishes contained with recommendations. The lunch menu showed a good selection of options and the portion size for the small skewers was more than enough for bigger lunch. It was lovely to see vegan options available (even though I'm not) and the vegan lemon cake was amazing! Unfortunately we had to go up and ask for assistance a few times, however, I would highly recommend the food here. Very rich and tasty dishes.

'Hidden Gem is a bit of an understatement". We had dinner at this restaurant on recommendation from a friend. From the minute we walked in, someone was at hand to welcome us in. The place is on 2 floors and has a very cosy feel. The menu is simple and packed full of flavours and choice. Our food arrived promptly and was very very tasty, and well presented. The staff and owner make you feel at home. They had a live singer, Lucia who performed to a packed restaurant. Made our birthday celebration feel very special. We can't wait for our next venture out to this wonderful place.

Surprised to have to pay a deposit when reserving a table, but it was the best night out we've had in quite a while. Thanks James.

Amazing authentic restaurant - especially loved our server James!

Just amazing, nothing else I want to add Best choice Thank you very much

Had a great meal here. Two House Special skewers were perfect for four of us. Interesting food and friendly, helpful service. Will definitely return and would recommend.

Great place to eat lovely Portuguese food great service got a glass of bubbly for our anniversary

A traditional and warm Portuguese restaurant with lovely lobsters and seafood. The taste is fantastic and fresh. The oldies couple, the owner, is very nice and full of hospitality. Love to visit again.

Great service . Nice environment. Food good but not value for the money.. a good atmosphere for snack and drink venue ..

We came back In January for our anniversary and what a great spot for lunch. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Hubby enjoyed but stated he would come back. Me on the other hand will definitely be back with friends and family.

The restaurant was very busy when we went, and service was a bit slow. Food was great as was the atmosphere.

Lovely garden, good coffee and very friendly staff.

Excellent food and will definitely come back from more 👏👌

Great place, coffee and cakes after a walk along the river.

Was very busy, waiting time was ridiculous, but understandable. Not sure if we will use it again. But it was better on previous occasions

Went here last night and they were also celebrating their 5th Anniversary ! It was packed out but our server James (canada) was an excellent server, funny and very attentive to our needs . The singer was ok but the atmosphere was great . The firework display was good but the food ( chips, rice , skewers were Amazing , thank you to the whole team for a great night .

James our server was exceptional, couldn't do enough for us, first class service and kept us entertained all evening. We will definitely be back, if only for James's entertainment 👍😁👍

We came here this evening to celebrate a birthday and the atmosphere was brilliant, there was a singer on which really added to the whole experience. The food was great and so delicious and the waiter James was so attentive, wonderful, really funny and did not put any pressure on you, took the time to explain the menu and was everything that you want a waiter to be and even stopped for a chat every now and again.. he even gave us his own special liquor free of charge for the birthday celebrations…James really made the night special and it was a night to remember! We will be back! Thank you

The best it's amazing and it's up to standard. Personally the best resturant I've been to<3💛💙❤🥂⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing food and fantastic service. James the waiter is exceptional and always adds his personal touch! He even remembers our order from our last visit! Would highly recommend

Food = excellent Drinks = excellent Service = excellent James is the best waiter ever very entertaining and attentive!

Lovely restaurant with simple but tasty food

It was all very good, delicious food.

Really enjoyed the food and the waiter James was very helpful and made the evening very pleasant, he was very knowledgeable on the different menu items, would definitely go back.

Just had the best food imaginable here. Its all so fresh, flavoursome and beautifully cooked and presented. The location and atmosphere was also very special with traditional music and dancing. Friendly staff too. Couldn't wish for more.

Lovely venue, service, easy parking and food. Would be 5 stars but the house piri piri which to be honest is not even spicy at £3.50 is something that should be free, or atleast have manufactured piri piri such as paladin, maçarico or calvé available.

Great service and attentive staff. James advised on the menu choices and helped in our decisions. Food and venue excellent.

Lovely food, friendly helpful staff.

Had a nice night here. Met an amazing waiter called James he was really funny and entertaining. He made us feel really comfortable and welcomed. Someone please give this guy a mic and put him on the stage for comedy nights. I will definitely come here again!

Amazing food great service live entertainment definitely recommend going

Delicious food and friendly service you can't ask for more. Best place for a meal in the area.

Had a lovely meal here. Food was great. I had the lamb which was delicious. Staff was friendly. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Be back soon.

Food was very good, extensive list of starters; wide selection of main meats and seafood, but, effectively there is only a choice of 2 mains, picados or kebabs. On that basis, I would not visit that frequently. The quantity and quality of the food was very good. Reasonable selection of desserts. Staff were excellent. There is parking for up to 15 vehicles I think, the inside is quite small, but there is an extensive garden to the rear, and few tables outside the front.

Visited for a wedding, and on a night with 'normal service' both times was exceptional service, food bountiful, and incredibly high standards, fun presentation (especially if you have the flaming chourico) and most importantly delicious! Highly recommended place to visit! Amazing staff, friendly atmosphere.

Brilliant food and service was amazing we had a fabulous waiter called James he made the night he was fantastic definitely going back asap

Food was amazing service was exceptional. James the waiter was friendly funny and gave us the perfect recomendations for food and was better than we expected. Will definately be returning very soon

It's a really nice place. Good people and good food.

What a Gem of a place to dine hidden away in upnor! Polite attentive welcoming staff. Lovely food and huge portions. Dessert was lush! Homemade icecream is a must try. Seafood was amazing. We shall be back to try more from this portugese family run restaurant. Thank for serving our family tonight.

I had heard a lot of good things about this place, but for me, it was just a bit average. The food and getting on the table wasn't the best. The food lacked a certain punch to set it apart from other Portuguese. My sons chicken wasn't fully cooked and came out a long time after my other sons. The staff were friendly and helpful though and the atmosphere good. It may be that the kitchen staff need a bit of assistance with timing but the excuse "the food is cooked fresh and it isn't fast food" shouldn't be why meals come out at different times and varying degrees of cooked. A fresh cooked meal can be cooked and all in one go.

Had a wonderful experience at os' Camacheiros last night. Food was incredible and our waiter James was outstanding. Great experience and would thoroughly recommend.

I love the food, entertainment on a Friday evening, staff are lovely, big shout out today to Jamie who hasn't been working their long, so friendly, nothing too much trouble and Kris who always delivers great service!

James is amazing, super friendly and helpful. Would come again because of him!

What a hidden gem in Upnor! The food was absolutely amazing. We tried a range of small plates and a main, and couldn't fault any of it. The Sangria was also very nice. No room for dessert unfortunately.
