Portuguese Taste in Bristol, City of

I got a pastel de nata and it was just ok. The top wasn’t caramelized very much. The tart dough was a bit dry as well. I’ve had better pastels de nata in Canada. I will say the service was great and I didn’t have to wait long before I received my order. The price was also good (£1.50).

If we lived close by, we would be here every week. Both of us are fans of custard tarts-from dim sum custard tarts to Soutj African melk tarts. We have nata nearly everywhere we go and this is the best ever ... super crispy pastry that is just the right thickness and custard that is fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Nata straight out of the oven for brekkie is such a luxury. Their bolo de arroz also transported us straight to Portugal. Holiday in a bite :)

Delicious Portuguese food. Plenty of gluten free options too. Fantastic prices. The pastel de nata is divine - I went back and bought another one!

Very good ambience, tasty food and nice service. A good place to go and have a nice meal to remember Portugal. 🇵🇹

Just stopped by for a quick lunch. Tasty.

Consistently really nice food. Friendly and pleasant. Get a pastel de nata too for after your meal - they are these little custard and cinnamon pastries and they are just fantastic. Everything comes with salad and either rice or chips. The rice is good but the chips are excellent, browned to perfection.

Lot of rice like Chinese take away but fresh cooked good portion

Tasty Portuguese chicken, sticky rice, served with vegetables straight from a can! Just no.

Had meatballs, rice and potatoes. Really nice lunch. Will come again.

Proper authentic Portuguese food. I spend a lot of time in Portugal and this really reminds me of the proper local food there, but the pork flavour and batatas fritas were much tastier! Really friendly service too, and great pastel de nata’s. Muito bom, obrigado!

Wasn't anything special unfortunately but the pastel de nata was incredible. My heart sank when they put the main dish in the microwave.

Great Portugueezers. Great Food. Great Pastel de Natas and Coffee

I've been to this place countless times and I can assure you it's the cheapest and tastiest place to eat at in St Nicks! The food is authentic and there's plenty of options for all tastes. 100% recommend.

Very cute little place in St nicks Market where you can get an affordable plate of delicious Portuguese food.

Delicious and affordable Portuguese food!!

The peppercorn chicken with rice its delicious and the home nade pastelitos de nata are amazing

I went here on my lunch break and I was really impressed! The service was really quick, so ideal if you’re just making a quick stop. Their pastel de natas are to die for! And the main dishes taste just as good! I will definitely be back.

Amazing food and great people running the shop. Pasteis de Nata were amazing and so was the chicken.

Just perfect. Pastel de nata and coffee for breakfast. Very friendly staff and amazing food. Real taste of Portugal in Bristol.

Great food at great price, Nata’s were delicious

Amazing Natas, best we've ever had

Very good Nata’s and for £1 each (when I was there) they were a steal

Great food, lovely service and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food ,very well prepared and generous portions! Well recommended

This was amazing, I had the peri peri chicken and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and a huge portion for just £5. Make sure you go here!

It's a very clean family business. The food is very tasty, home food. Pastel de natas are top! All dishes are worth a try.

Delicious food for a really good price it’s a small restaurant but it’s more than worth it didn’t tried the pastéis de nata but they looked delicious, high recommendation specially if you’re in hurry, small but precious.

Small Portuguese restaurant inside the St Nick market. Great variety of Portuguese food (francesinha, chicken piri piri, meatballs, cod, pastel de nata). Food tastes like homemade food, they accept card but don't sell alcohol. 4 tables, 2 inside and 2 outside. Friendly staff.

Roast pork ribs were sooo good tasty and fall off the bone. Recommend! Sorry ate the first one before I remembered to take a photo.

Great food and great value too. I go there every now and then since it's decent value and the food is always great. It's always good to have some portuguese food to remember when I was still living in Portugal. Please continue working the way you do.

Pour 5 £ le fameux cassoulet portugais en quantité suffisante pour être rassasié. Leur flan au dessert est très bon. Il y a quelques tables pour manger assis. Allez-y ! Le tout dans l’ambiance du marché couvert. Une très bonne adresse, rapport qualité prix excellent.

Buena comida y mejor precio!! Servicio impecable y amabilidad garantizada!!!

Great value, best to go early when food is at its freshest, I had the feijoada and it was lovely, not hot but again it's late for them and I did take a walk before eating it in castle park.

Not my cup of tea but my son loved it.

Great food at a great price. My favourite is the Portuguese meatballs with rice, salad and potato

They make the best egg custard tarts in Bristol! The food is usually served with rice, chips AND salad for about £6 or less. This is one of my favourite places to eat

Delicious homemade typical Portuguese food

Excellent Portuguese food, good variety of dishes.

Las tartas de crema de este pequeño puesto de comida portuguesa en la calle. Nicholas's Market fue lo más destacado de la reunión de nuestros amigos en Bristol. Una pastelería crujiente y cálida, suave como la seda, una crema recién hecha, caramelizada alrededor de los bordes con la cantidad exacta de dulzura era mejor que todo lo que habíamos probado en Lisboa. Nos entusiasmamos con ellos por el resto del fin de semana, y si hubiéramos tenido una estancia más larga en la ciudad, definitivamente hubiéramos regresado. Come adentro, (aunque es un apretón), o saca.

Was a regular for 3 years. Great Portuguese food

Sampled these "pasteis de nata" with friends. All agreed that they were the best we have ever tasted - and between us we have tasted a few! A highlight of our weekend.

Yo trabajo cerca de la calle Nicholas Market y Portuguese Taste es un lugar habitual para almorzar. Las comidas son bastante grandes y están bien de precio, y el personal es muy agradable y portugués. Por lo general, el Turkey con crema (básicamente un stroganoff) o Chicken en salsa peppercorn. La mayoría de las comidas vienen con papas fritas y ensalada. Cada vez que lo hacen, Francesinha siempre tendría eso, es una comida casera portuguesa, básicamente un sándwich de carne frita con un huevo encima y cubierto con una salsa a base de tomate, afortunadamente para mi cintura solo sirven esto de vez en cuando. La feijoada aquí también es muy agradable, un guiso con frijoles, chorizo, panceta y repollo. Casi toda la comida aquí es encantadora, aunque el bistec de cerdo con huevo en la parte superior, aunque delicioso, a veces es poco cocido para mi gusto, i. mi. a veces no se dora en las cebollas ni en el bistec de cerdo.

Delicious taste and quantity!! I love it and I'll come back.

I went to uni in Brazil and used to eat Feioada every day. I love coming to Bristol and going to Portuguese taste. It is so good and reasonable prices. I also recommend Antartica (soda with Guarana, a tropical fruit from Brazil) and the pasteis de nata (custard cupcakes) are to die for! (I am getting hungry now) Patty from Guatemala @Latinzest

If you love real Portuguese food this is the place for a cheap lunch . Not much seating .

So many different cuisines to choose from in this market, but this one is definitely worth trying. Tiny premises with only a few small tables, but food looks good at reasonable prices for good portion sizes. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Market food, OK but expensive and staff are rude.

Lovely little place nice food served by lovely staff.A taste of Portugal in Bristol would definitely visit again.

I went here during my lunch break and had the fish of the day which comes with potato, rice and salad (£6). Very tasty meal served with fresh salad.

The salt cod cakes and prawn frikadels were great and made us want more and more... would definitely visit again

Sabor portugués es un restaurante pequeño y pintoresco escondido en la calle Nicolás Mercado culturalmente diversa.El personal era servicial inmediatamente, cálido y amable. El menú se muestra pequeño pero tradicional en la parte delantera de la tienda que le invita en visualmente y muy sensual de los olores de los platos se cocinan detrás del mostrador.El interior del restaurante tiene dos pequeñas mesas para 2 - 3 personas cada una y una selección de bebidas son visibles aunque el contador de vidrio, incluyendo postres refrigerados y productos horneados. El flan tartas (famosos pastéis de nata) son una delicia local y vale la pena venir para comer en o llevar la experiencia!En general, con sabores portugueses clara pasión por compartir su pasión por la comida y el servicio al cliente, hay una fuerte sensación de autenticidad que te mantendrá regresando por más.

Very nice for a quick lunch. We were lucky and sat in but mosr peopke take away. Authentic portuegese food. Yum yum

The food is good quality, tasty and authentic. The coffee is very good and far superior to any branded coffee shop. Great value for money and highly recommended.

Un pequeño gran lugar en calle Nick's con auténtica, comida barata sabe excelente. El tamaño de las porciones son generosas y la feijoada, así como el pescado con tomate arroz son deliciosos.

Uno de los muchos puestos de comida en la calle en la calle Nicolás mercado. Se puede decir de el nombre de qué tipo de cocina ofrecen - tuve la Feijoada en £4. 50 que es un plato muy sabroso de arroz con cerdo y estofado de judías. Es mucho cocinar.

Lovely place,lovely food,amazing experience :-) I'll be back for sure!

Every time I go to Bristol I will try to go and get a feijoada and an Antartica.. it is so good! also the Portuguese custard tarts are to die for! Patty @Latinzest

Cute little place, and Portuguese isn't your everyday cuisine! I chose the marinaded meatballs which were nice, but maybe could have been tastier, or have more sauce or something! good portion size though, and lovely people!

Has been here at least 12 years, I first went down during Euro 2004 (don't mention the final…). The menu has barely changed in that time, but that's a good thing. Comfort food, Portuguese style – large platefuls of rice/chips with stews of cod, chicken, pork etc. Eat elbow-to-elbow at the tiny tables, or ask for takeaway. And you must try the pasteis de nata (preferably with a coffee). These rich, sweet and creamy egg custard tarts in crumbling pastry are a characteristic treat all over Portugal. They are also served now in places like Nandos etc. but Portuguese Taste made them famous around here and rightly so. I had my first one here years ago and the experience proved instantly addictive. So remember to stop by for one, even if you've already had your main course elsewhere! Just please don't take the very last one, in case I am on my way…

Comida muy buena y auténtica cocina portuguesa, hecha con ingredientes frescos, se puede comer fuera y disfrutar de la experiencia de tipo hall comida... altamente recomendado..

Never been to Portugal, but know what feijoada is from chat at our local Portuguese-owned coffee shop. So, when we stumbled on this homely-looking stall in Bristol's St Nicholas Market, I could not resist giving it a go. And I was not disappointed! A delicious mildly-spiced stew of red beans, vegetables, pork and sausage, plus rice. A generous plateful for the money - very tasty!

If your anywhere near St Nicks market looking for lunch, then get to this place. Mother and daughter do the cooking which is amazing. There's always something for everyone and portion size for the price is very good. One of my favorites is fish with tomato rice and salad. A must try also are the cakes, especially the Pastel de nata, simply divine.

I ordered what looked like a toasted ham and cheese sandwich that was in the window of the counter and expected a short wait while it was toasted again. I was waiting for around for what seemed like ages but probably less than 10 minutes to be presented with a massive carton of food. The sandwich was packed full of meat including sausage ham and pepperoni, which was smothered in a thick delicious orange coloured sauce. There was also a mountain of fried potato cubes to accompany it which was a very nice surprise. So from expecting a sandwich to go, I ended up with a feast that was great value for money

Dark little joint in St Nicks, I've not eaten the savoury food as it is usually meaty but in some unassuming Tupperware boxes on top of the counter you'll find the best Portugese custard tarts this side of Lisbon (probably).

The best "pastel de nata" (custard tart) in Bristol. Freshly baked, warm from the oven

This little stall at St. Nick's is my favourite place for lunch. It's good solid fare, with the Feijoada with rice, meatballs and chicken peri-peri (nothing like Nando's) always on and a couple of daily specials. It's great value, big portions and reasonably healthy, tasting properly homemade. They have a few tables or you can get a takeaway. Make sure you get there before the Pastels-de-Nata sell out!

2 years in the UK and the first real Portuguese food. Casual and homely but very good and great value

This place is a little gem, a great variety of Portuguese food and plenty of it, 5.50 for meal inc rice sauté potatos and salad or veg outstanding value

Had the Beef Casserole and Rice for lunch today. A proper tasty casserole that filled me up for the afternoon. Will definitely be back to try more!!!

By far my favourite trader in the St. Nicholas market (and I've been eating there for 4 years now). The home cooked food is immense, keep an eye out for the ribs! All dishes come with an abundant choice of rice, potatas and fresh salad.If you are partial to a sweet after lunch, do try the Pastel - a fiver says you will quickly become addicted, maybe even popping over to the market for a coffee and cake at other times of the day...I'm averse to recommeding the place too much as I like to sit in and eat. If I could change anything, it would be a few more seats to guarantee my place at dinner hour.

Great food, friendly staff and excellent value for money. The best nata tarts in the world. I had homemade squid and bean stew with rice and salad for £6.50

The most varied menu in St Nick's. Delicious and really good value. Never too much that you have to skip dinner. If you have the time, stay for a custard tart. Can get a bit parky in the winter and a little too snug if you want to eat inside.

Real Portuguese food cooked by Portuguese people. Had a carne de porco a alentejana and it was great! Really recommend it

We stumbled upon the food area in St Nicholas market, by chance whilst looking for Wallace and Grommit... There were 9 or 10 food areas all with fresh offerings. The display at Portuguese Taste was irresistible. There were just 4 plates on offer but this suites me - Id rather have a limitted fresh menu than a 100 things from a microwave.The chef explained each and our party chose 3 different ones - Chicken Piri Piri / Pork and red beans and Cod Casserole. All were delicious. at 4.50 = BARGAIN.The portions were very generous.Only snag is there is very limited seating - which is a shame as many customers were walking away as they didnt want a take away. We ll be back !

A lovely lady served us and the smells from this booth are delicious – as is the food. I adore Portuguese food. You really need to try the egg custard tarts – they were so gorgeous that during a recent trip to Bristol I had to have 2 – they had just come out of the oven and were little tastes of paradise.

Super tasty food, I keep going back for more. Lovely friendly staff. Really good value. Top marks
