Portivo Lounge Gloucester in Gloucester

I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I’ve tasted . Smashed avocado. The best . I’ve been coming here with my hubby and dog ever since she was a puppy and very welcoming and staff very friendly . Well done portivo

gave them another chance, how wrong was i. ordered a simple breakfast and after a 40 min wait i got nothing like what i ordered. i don't blame the staff, {very good} but i do blame the management for poor training and after care of customers. will not be going back.

I had nazi goring and hubby had burger. Food was hot and tasty and reasonably priced. Nice rustic style atmosphere, right on the quays.

Had a great lunch, good service, nice atmosphere and great food - good for gluten free options which was great for us with a child who is Coeliac and myself being gluten intolerant.

5/5 for service. Staff very friendly 5/5 for food Location was also great. We were doing a lecture at Gloucester College so just across the bridge

Love this place, especially, nice food cocktails, we always Visit when in Gloucestershire

Stunning chilled and informal - Sunday brunch is just perfect . Really lovely fresh food, great atmosphere and very warm and friendly

Well, to start with I will say with nice words" let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." - if youre really gourmet and enjoy great time enjoying with your buddies, just pop in the place, which presents you fab atmosphere and fill in with love. Easy navigate, and fantastic location. The food is always hot and presented well l would say the portions are of medium size. They also have separate menus for vegans and separate menu if you have to eat gluten free. All menus have good choice. The service is good with very friendly staff. Good atmosphere a nice place to come for drinks and meal with family/ friends. If you enjoy nice food the price will not reflect on it. The one thing which takes my heart to cry-soft drink is not advisable to buy, price outrageous but drink remains on the low level,just grab a glass of wine or cider and may it obsord you in fairytale with first-class music.

Tasty food and excellent service. Very dog friendly. You can either order at the bar or using a QR code at the table. Lots of tables over two floors. Music is a bit loud, but I’m getting old. Would definitely go back!

Popped in with my dog for a quick lunch. Staff were very accommodating and welcoming. We had a delicious fresh meal. Will definitely go back with out a doubt.

About food and a great menu: Charlotte S is a fabulous working who loves dogs and is super welcoming and chatty. I go regularly and the service is spot on and they look after me and my dog

Expected more from this place. Food was pretty average, nothing special and the staff... Well I didn't even know who was staff and who wasn't. Some of them were inappropriately dressed, dismissive and didn't care whether I was there or not. Decor was interesting and food came pretty quickly. Highlight was the drinks.

Always brilliant. Gluten free options brilliant & staff understand importance to Coeliac customers

Short visit to Portivo Lounge for early evening food Al fresco as they have plenty of seating outside. Had the most delicious Mezze salad...honestly the best salad I've had in a long time....been out shopping looking for the ingredients to make at home ..feta, rocket, grains, crispy chickpeas, crispy falafels, pomegranate seeds, roasted beetroot and dressing. I'm posting a piccie of my recreation I made at home as I forgot to take a photo.

Very friendly place good staff and dog friendly

The Toro Longe has always been a family favourite, now Portivo is up there! Seating outside with views of the Quay. Full of atmosphere and food heaven. We will go back for tappas.

Had steak chips small potion of salad. Was very nice but not enough salad or chips.

Found the portions were small, and the meals and drinks were more expensive than my visit last December

Not worth the money. We went on a Tuesday evening, so not that busy. We went in, and were told to seat ourselves, which is pretty normal for these restaurants so that’s okay. We went upstairs and the overall vibe of the restaurant was very nice. That was the only nice thing!! My friend wanted the soup of the day, and to find out the flavour, we had to flag down one of the very few staff that only came up to deliver food to the tables, as of course ordering was done via QR code. We asked one girl, she didn’t know, and just responded “does it not say online??”. No, it did not, so my friend and I went downstairs ourselves. there was a sign that said the soup of the day was “shakshuke”, and after discussing (within earshot of several staff members!) what a shakshuka soup would look like (tomato soup with some eggs in it?) we finally tried to ask a lady behind the bar. We were stood DIRECTLY in front of the sign, and so it was obvious that we’d read it, and yet when we asked “what exactly is the soup?” we were met with a very rude “…shakshuka??”. I get that if we hadn’t read the sign it would have been a bit of a silly question, but the tone in which she spoke to us was so rude!! would it have been so hard to say “oh, the sign is just here, it’s shakshuka today”? we went on to ask about whether there were eggs or not in it, and once again were met with a very rude tone and “it’s the vegan option, so no there’s not eggs in it.” Secondly, the food we did order was terrible. i got the cali brunch bowl, and for £11 the portion was tiny, and it had clearly been sat under some lights for a long time as everything had congealed a bit and nothing was crispy any more, but the worst part was the large pieces of eggshell in the poached eggs!! and, this is a small note but since im writing this review anyway, they hadn’t removed the top root part of the tomato when they chopped it, so that was also in my bowl, inedible! My friend did end up ordering the soup, but i wished she hadn’t as it took about 30min to come out (again, it was a quiet tuesday and surely soup can’t take that long to serve?) and was less than a child’s portion. the tiny bowl was about 1/3 full! also, i ordered the watermelon iced tea, and this could potentially just be personal preference but it was absolutely disgusting. i had to send it back and i had the elderflower cooler instead. i am not the type of person to send anything back or write reviews, but this experience was so bad i had to! all of these things alone can be forgiven, but all together it made for a pretty dreadful evening. won’t be going again!

The Portivo Lounge quickly became one of our favorite places to dine in when we visit Gloucester. Food and service are spot on! The Miami brunch is something we will recommend!!

Service is great, love the fresh cocktails and milkshakes. Food is amazing had the tapas twice now and it's delicious.

Firstly, I am surprised to read such negative reviews about the staff/service. They were all absolutely delightful! (Thank you for getting the chefs tip on the chickpeas!) We sat outside on a glorious sunny day, coffee, tea and shared a flatbread which was delicious! Great menu choice, great service. If we lived locally we would return.

Great quality food and good value for money! Definitely recommend. Friendly staff and paid around £70 for 2 persons with a £30 bottle of wine

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Loads of gluten-free options on a separate menu. Highly recommended 👌

There are Vegan and Gluten-free menus upon request with MANY options. There is also a kids' menu with coloring. Allergy food requests/orders are made at the bar - the manager took the order himself out of respect and concern for allergies. Make sure you know your table number when you go to order. For normal humans ordering, you can order via QR code at your table or at the bar. I was hungry and ordered (all Gluten-free) soup of the day which was carrot and orange, falafel & Advocado sandwich, strawberries & cream milkshake, and finished off with Banoffee cheesecake. In the burger, good balance of ingredients and the falafel was crispy and delicious. They gave me a GF bun and with the soup a toasted GF roll with butter on the side. The soup was smooth, blended well, was a pleasure and had a little kick - but I am sensitive to Spices, so you might not find it "spicy" like I do haha; a little kick like a curry has. It reminded me of a nice, warm carrot bread with the seasonings, highly recommend. Well, I recommend everything I ordered! The Whipped cream on the milkshake and Banoffee cheesecake was on point! Tasted fresh and close to homemade if not homemade. If I lived closer, I would be here once a month for sure. On my list for whenever I am back in the area. There is self-serve Tap water on ground and 1st floor. There are also high chairs for toddlers upon request or, if you are inclined to retrieve it yourself, behind the stairs by the handicap bathroom. Seating outside (ground floor) as well as inside, downstairs and upstairs. The regular toilets are up 2 flights of stairs but there is a handicap bathroom on ground floor with a baby changing station. By the stairs, there are some books for kids and adults as well as some games if people are willing to put down their phones.

Fabulous lunch today three burgers and drink's, great smiley staff … we will be back

Dog friendly and the food was fantastic. A lovely relaxing space with great music set at tbe right level for us to still chat. Just wish they had real ale!!

Always good and staff welcoming great chicken burgers

Excellent gluten free menu and reasonably priced

Great location and great food. Have to say they are a tad mean with fries!!

Four of us had lunch here burgers, buttermilk chicken and prawns with noodles all very good .One of the burger eaters said it was one of the best burgers he had had good meat and the right cheese.Waitress was very sweet and helpful well worth a visit

Friendly service, excellent food and a great choice of Gluten Free options.

Quite good choice with quick friendly staff

Very nice place 👌 with great food. Would recommend a visit to all

After Googling for gluten free places to eat Portivo Lounge in Gloucester popped up so we decided to try it and we weren't disappointed. They have an extensive gluten free range including desserts! Staff were very helpful and friendly and helped make the atmosphere what it is. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

This is a pleasant coffee shop that is part of a large chain. All the Lounges I have been to have been excellent and this venue is no exception. The food and service were excellent and the coffee was fantastic. I don't know how they do it but the coffee I have bought from Lounges has always been amazing. I don’t know how they do it but it’s truly amazing.

We visited in early July and the food & drink was lovely, the Buttermilk fried Chicken with fries and slaw was cooked to perfection. The house special Pink lemonade was great and our kids enjoyed the pancakes & sausage bap Lounge service means you order meals online or at the counter which might not be for everyone

As always, great food. Tasty and full of flavour. They take the time and care to cater for people with allergies, food requirements.

OK place, small portions, not untidy but could be better, would eat there again though

Popped in here for a burger. I tried the Lounge burger. I asked for an additional meat patty in it too. It looked good when it arrived, but I knew I wouldn't be able to get that in my mouth, so had to eat it with a knife and fork. The meat fell apart very easily - almost crumbled instead of some other burger places. The taste was good, I only just managed to finish it as it was really quite big. The coleslaw was really good too. Will try something else next time, but this definitely hit the spot.

We had tapas and we were very disappointed as they had obviously been microwaved and were of poor quality.

Staff were great especially the lady who served our table. Nice food. Monday deal good value.

We called in for breakfast on a Saturday morning after stopping at Gloucester on the way to Cornwall. It was busy, with people sitting indoors and outdoors, but the service was friendly and efficient they were also very accommodating with regards to swapping items on the menu. The food was served quickly and was a delicious and interesting variation of a vegetation breakfast. It was also nice to find a dog friendly venue in a city centre.

Good prices, tasty meals, buzzing atmosphere and in a trendy part of Gloucester

Lovely place and great food a must try the burgers are tasty and always plenty of room we love upstairs is a great getaway

This is a lovely. Cosy warm and welcoming bar ,went with a group of 30 friends for food Very well organised,staff were very friendly. And helpful , love the decor also And also dog friendly which is always a bonus Only downfall. No access. For disabled upstairs or no lift , so no good for party’s then Otherwise love the place

Excellent service. Good hot coffee. Staff friendly and toilets were clean. All you need. Would highly recommend

Greeted by a server who yawned in our faces which didn't give a great first impression. Sat down, saw how filthy everything was and decided to go elsewhere before ordering. Disappointing as from the outside it looks like a rather nice establishment.

Male server was so rude I'd never come back

Absolutely fabulous service, food is always fresh and hot! Brilliant staff all willing to go above and beyond for you, catering for vegan and any dietary requirements. Friendly atmosphere and just bloody lovely! Totally recommend!

I do like this chain of restaurants, the inside is art deco meets shabby chic. The food is excellent and attentive service. I recommend the tandoori burger. Like my Google maps review to get 5 stars don't charge 5:95p a pint but overall a lovely establishment

1st time visitor. We popped in for breakfast. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was good, good quality bacon and sausage. Food arrived quickly and was hot. Will definitely come again next time I shop in Gloucester quays. Thank you.

Came here for lunch today 19/3/24 and must say it was very good. Couldn't fault anything we had, the philly cheese steak and the chicken club sandwich. We didn't bother with any chips as the sweet potato was a ripe off at £3.30 You can buy a whole bag and some from the supermarket for that price. Biscoff milkshake and apple juice were both good. Staff friendly enough and service was quick and food came fast from ordering on the phone from your table.

Very good all around. Great service and delicious food. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is £5:95p a pint!

Ordered through the qr code on table. Staff were friendly when food was brought out. Milkshake was definitely blended with ice so just tasted like watery melted ice cream. Toppings on the souvlaki flatbread were great but the bread was so hard I could have used it as a Frisbee.

Great food, good service. Enjoyed my first visit and returned for a second and won’t be the last. Lovely atmosphere, service and food was delicious.

Went to Portivo last Sunday for brunch, very busy, had a lovely meal, with a cup of hot chocolate staff very friendly enjoyed the time.

The food was lush. Quick service

Came here with a meat eater and gluten free friend. It was great the Lounge had a separate GF and Vegan menu - we all managed to get a great tasting meal. I loved the smashed avo on ciabatta with some button mushrooms, vegan bacon and falafel. Tasted scrummy.

Great place for a quick bite to eat.

Went for Breakfast, quick, and the food was hot delicious and plenty, my husband had the large breakfast, and I had the lounge breakfast which was enough for me. Definitely will return.

Good helpful staff and a good location

Good atmosphere, friendly efficient service. Can't comment on the food, as I only had a pot of tea.

Good atmosphere but had the steak and was very disappointed.. very chewy and lacked general flavour.. worst experience I've had there after visiting a number of times...

Brilliant for vegetarians and Gluten free, really good service, this is one of the best of the "Lounge" cafés

From walking in, the atmosphere felt warm, friendly and inviting. The staff were great and engaging. Food was amazing, hot, fresh and very tasty. This place is worth going to Gloucester Quays for.

Lovely service. Handled my gluten intolerance perfectly. Amazing, gluten-free menu.

Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff.

Very disappointed with my meal lamb goan curry , no flavour also lamb was maybe 2 bits if that , very disappointed and will not be going back meal did not live up to discription

Great place..Only second visit and can't fault it.Red haired lady was particularly happy and helpful.

Slow service. Expensive food. Tables untidy.

Always guaranteed great atmosphere & service

Very busy place. Dog friendly,staff a little untidy in appearance,however very polite.

Absolutely lovely place. Great food and fantastic service. They also have a good vegan menu.

The atmosphere was great. We went for a few bits and bobs of food and to meet friends. The staff treated us well. We asked to reserve a table, but they only do that for tables of 6 and more, so we came back later. It was quite busy but there was one high table left which was fine for food and conversation. The food came relatively quickly, and it tasted as it does in all other lounges. If I'm back in Gloucester, I'll be back

As usual, a really great Lounge! Always a vibe inside, the staff were lovely and the place was clean. Good food and in a good location. Went here to visit some friends as we were in Gloucester for the day visiting and we all had a good time!

Usually go to the Estero Lounge in Monmouth but being in Gloucester for a Cinema visit thought we would try this version in the Loungers sites. Same varied menu and more great service from this team.

Excellent location! We were there with dogs, no problem at all. _very_ friendly staff.

Great atmosphere and cheerful staff relaxing evening Christmas drinks with granddaughter

Lovely food, and a relaxed atmosphere.

My friend and I came here for a weekday lunch recently, and were very pleased. There are several brunch/lunch options on the menu, most of which can be customised to some degree. There's also a good selection of cocktails/mocktails to go with it. Food can be ordered at the bar, or from the table using QR codes. All our food came quickly and was tasty, and staff were polite. The restaurant interior is just like the other members of this chain: traditionally British with a little bit of eccentricity.

Loved our meal here,it has a lovely atmosphere, we eat looking over the Christmas Market, food was delicious,can't fault it at allx😍🥰

Great place to catch up or just relax.

Tapas is always a good choice, other meals ok, service always good, atmosphere ok.

Plenty of choice for a nice meal out.

Loud and understaffed but still very quick services to surrounding tables. Extremely pleasant and relaxed dining experience, good food and company.

Had a fantastic breakfast here. Coffee was good too.

Popped in for a coffee whilst visiting the Christmas market at the Quays lovely bar serving a good coffee

Food was good but was a long wait (informed in advance). Reasonably priced. Ordered coffee and softdrinks but was only delivered the former, had to go to bar to get the rest of our drinks.

Had a great experience, my younger sister hates mayo and we didn’t realise her tapas game with mayo on, the waiter was extremely helpful and replaced both of these swiftly without charging us i could not fault the service and had a lovely meal.

Eclectic design, exceptional food.

Very busy, but very friendly staff and didn't have to wait too long for our food

Lovely atmosphere. Food was great and didn't have to wait long.

Dreadful. Uninterested staff, overpriced. Avoid.

Good food and drink at reasonable prices served by pleasant staff.only problem was having to go up a lot of stairs to use the restroom.

Brilliant time brilliant staff recommend a visit

Lovely menu with lots of options, including for vegans. Nice option for a breakfast/ brunch at Gloucester Quays. Pet friendly

Poor service, rude staff and filthy toilets. All in all a bad experience.

We visit Gloucester Quays regularly and always eat at Portivo, Ivy served us today and she was very efficient and welcoming. 5 stars for Ivy 😀
