Vasco Da Gama in Wrexham

Reserved a table between 12-12:30 as we came from far to have a meal for my boyfriend birthday. Arrived and were told food is only served at 1 but nothing was said on the phone when booking. We didn’t mind and with 45 mins to wait we wonder around town for a bit. Got there me and my partner sat down after asking if we could sit down anywhere. After 30 mins of waiting we went up and asked if we had to order there and were told yes as it was busy (which no one warned us about). When we went to order our lunch we were told that the food from the menu was going to take ages because of the queue already in the kitchen. When asked how long if it was going take as it was likely to be 2/3 hrs at that rate, to confirm the waitress went to ask the boss when she rudely answered back saying she didn’t have the time to think about that nit answering the waitress. First and last time, wouldn’t advise anyone to eat here.

Fantastic freshly cooked food each & every time I have visited here over the last few months. There is plenty of choice on the menu & the daily specials are varied, delicious & amazing value for money - 3 courses for £15 (view their facebook page). It’s family run & very welcoming. They also provide a takeaway service which is great.

Lovely fresh home made food at reasonable prices. I visit here regularly and I am always happy with the quality of the food.

Das Vasco da Gama bietet eine breite Palette an Speisen an. Es gibt leckere Fleischspeisen und auch die Vegetarier kommen nicht zu kurz.

What a highlight of my visit to Wrexham. Friendly service and a delicious, reasonably priced meal. I had Bacalhau a Marinheiro, which was delightful.

Great cafe, very friendly staff, popped in for latte and bacon sandwich both very nice snd great value under £10 for the 2 of us.

I go here for breakfast with friends and big English breakfast are huge . And in the evening they fat burgers and half of chicken are to die for. Very reasonable priced. Would recommend it for groups

I visited on a Saturday night for a drink but decided to also have food. So glad I did as it was one of the best meals I have had. I chose the Vasco de Gama steak which was cooked to perfection. Highly recommeended and will definitely visit again.

Highly recommend the caesar salad, really substantial and so tasty! Lovely, attentive staff. Will definitely be returning.

We love this piece of Portugal in Wrexham. Always a great atmosphere & when we are here we feel like we are on holiday in Portugal. The meals are prepared by Maria & always taste absolutely gorgeous. I love the Pork Bitoque but the fish meals coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Friendly staff & a warm atmosphere, a perfect combination :-)

I have just had a chicken kebab and chips for £ 9.00 with a cuppa tea and it's serious serious value for money this place is without a shadow of a doubt the best cafe/bar restaurant to eat in wrexham I will not eat anywhere else from now on friendly service friendly staff top quality food for the price give this.place a go I guarantee you will not be disappointed

My friends and I ( 12 of us ) went here for a meal, we were seated upstairs and had the whole room to our self’s. It has a bar so no need to go downstairs. The room is decorated to a high standard alongside 100% cleanliness. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food which ranged from chicken skewers to salmon and cod and starters was out of this world !! So fresh tasty and so much of it . The portions were very generous!!! Both the drinks and food are reasonably priced. The owners are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble .in my opinion no other restaurant could offer so much.in terms of friendliness, cost, and most of all amazing food. Myself and my friends would definitely use this place again for either a quiet meal in the day or drinks and food at night .thank you for making us feel welcome .

My Husband and I had a wonderful time last nigt.The food was of such high quality and it would have been difficult to have topped that in alot of restaurants in Wrexham.The venue looked amazing for our Valentines meal..The tables were made to look stunning with Hearts everywhere. My fish was so good and cooked to perfection. The desert was so so good homemade delicious food from start to finish.

Please pass onto the kitchen a big wow & well done from us. The soup (caldo verde) I could personally live on, it is out of this world 🌎. The main cod fish pie, omg so tasty, so filling, served with the freshest salad, wow!. Pudding, the chocolate 🎂. Again did not disappoint. As always a huge 10/10 you guys rock! Obrigada ❤️

Never had a bad meal at this unpretentious restaurant in Wrexham. By far and away my favourite place in the area. Today I recommended it to family visiting from London. They were blown away by the freshly cooked and tasty food served here. They all loved it. Best place in Wrexham

Went for the first time, around 13:00 on Friday. It wasn’t too busy but the staff were attentive and helpful. They had an authentic Portuguese special dish, which was to die for. I 100% recommend this place. £12 For a soup, a main meal and a dessert?! What more could you ask for. Thank you Vasco da Gama I will be returning.

I was in the establishment when I went to the restroom and there was urine all over the floor and the employe said stop walking around sit down now Do not recommend coming to this place treated like crap Dirty utensils bad staff an bad hygiene

This place is the best to go to as food is fantastic and staff r brilliant u cant get better elsewhere

Not much to choose from, couldn’t get in anywhere else as we hadn’t booked 😩 got chicken kebabs, the chicken didn’t taste cooked properly and was covered in a garlic grease, the salad also had a grease like melted butter or something similar, wasn’t nice and took 3 washes to get the smell off my hands

We called in here for lunch en route for home. The food is cooked from fresh so there is a bit of a wait but it was worth it. It was great to find somewhere that actually felt Portuguese rather than just being the name. The coffee was excellent too. We felt welcomed.

Ordered 3 meals for delivery on a Saturday evening. Food really tasty, portions generous and the value for money is unrivalled. We've had Thai, Chinese, Chip Shop & Pizza take out over the past weeks, and this has been the best by far. The secure payment is great too, via a link sent to my phone. Hoping you might continue to do take away when lockdown is over? Thank you for being the highlight of our week.

Authentic family run Portugese cafe and bar. Welcoming to everyone and particularly family friendly. Daily three course lunchtime menu freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Delicious especially with a glass of house wine or a beer. If you just want a coffee thats fine but expect to be tempted by a very nice selection of cakes and Portugese custard tarts.

Another fantastic afternoon!! Introduced another couple today to the delights of our favourite Portuguese place. Good food - good service - great ambiance!!

What a delight to visit. Maria and her team produces a wonderful fresh meal every time we go. Thoroughly recommend.

Visited tonight with friends. Can wholly recommend the prawns tapas. Amazing taste more than enough as a starter for two. Salmon rissotto fabulous. Chicken skewer very tasty and plentiful. Overall 5 star quality and wonderfully friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

The food here is unreal! The flavours are gorgeous, big portions and value for money. A range of dishes to choose from also. Nothing like it around & Chester is missing out!!! If you’re ever in Wrexham and want an authentic, home cooked meal this is place to go!!! Freshly cooked food all the time, piping hot & great drinks! The pork, rice, chips and salad dish is divine, also the grilled chicken!!! Amazing food Maria the chef

Called in at the Vasco De Gama for a bite to eat on a Sunday afternoon. Delicious chicken, cake and strong coffee. Great value for money. I have eaten here many times before. And will continue to do so.

Had a lovely salmon risotto my husband had the Portuguese beef all very nice with a couple of jugs of red wine very tasty and the food was piping hot will definitely go back thankyou xxx Val

We regularly eat here and are never disappointed. The staff are all lovely and feel like our extended family! Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely home made cakes etc which is a nice change to large chain offerings. Friendly staff and good value.

Since my last review Vasco da Gama has become my regular lunchtime haunt. The menu continues to be excellent. The Octopus Rice is a real treat as is the Seafood Pasta. The coffee must be the best in town and a hot drink with a cake at £2.50 must also be the best value .

Thank you Maria & family you work so hard & in my opinion the best value and service in Wrexham .A bit of Portugal on our doorstep & lovely welcome along with good food & service .

After several visits can't fault this great little restaurant for taste and value . I've been as a party of 2 and 4 and 12 and more and always been pleased. Service is sometimes "relaxed" but always friendly and informative Maria will always explain what the dishes are and will cater for all tastes whether vegitarian or vegan as well as carnivores. If its coffee and cake a tasty snack or a good meal this is the place to go.

What a little gem of a restaurant. Excellent friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious. We could not fault anything of the entire evening. Nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Absolutely delicious tapas! Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Food was exceptionally tasty, well presented and very filling. Will definitely visit again. Exceptional value for money! Thank you Maria

I visit Vasco da Gama regularly and I must say it is consistently good. Authentic home made Portuguese food, great ambiance with a mix of people and cultures.

I called in at the Vasco Da Gama on a Saturday afternoon for a bite to eat and a beer. I have been here many times before. Always made to feel welcome by the owners and staff. Lovely decor, nice and clean with a great relaxing atmosphere.

We have passed this cafe several times and are wishing we'd gone in a lot sooner. Atmosphere was friendly and busy, with a good mixture of people. The piri piri chicken was delicious, and so was the green wine. Desserts were lovely, home made cake light as a feather, and coffee rich and flavourful. Service was very friendly and helpful and it was excellent value.

We visit Vasco regularly and love everything about it. Whether you pop in for cake and coffee or for a full 3 course meal with wine, its always enjoyable and consistently good. If I could make one recommendation then I would like to hear Portuguese background music playing maybe just in the evenings. Very authentic and excellent staff.

We visit this restaurant often, be it two of us or six/seven of us. Food excellent value, nicely presented hot and tasty, There is a set menu daily, soup ,choice of two dishes drink beer,wine or soft drinks, dessert and followed by espresso. Excellent value but there is a full menu as well, garlic prawns - great. BEEF vasco da Gama also great cooked how you want it.. m

We commissioned a cake for our little boys presentation... and oh my giddy aunt the chef at Vasco Da Gama did a stella job...it was simply out of this world deeeelishious! Made with a fine flour and fresh cream icing there wasn't a crumb left ... and like a numpty I forgot to take a photo ...oh well we'll just need to commission another ;)

I went with my girlfriend after college, it's a fantastic café/restaurant very tidy, clean, very good service. The presentation of the table set up was brilliant and smart. The food came out promptly and it was delicious! Very warm and cosy atmosphere. Great friendly and warm staff. Highly recommend going!

I have visited this restaurant many times. The food is always very good. Nicely presented, hot and tasty. There is a set menu with two choices daily but there is a full menu available as well. Excellent value, reasonal prices and staff are always very attentive.

Lovely coffee shop/cafe,serving great home cooked Portuguese food at very reasonable prices.I always stop for a coffee & cake when I'm in town.All the staff are very friendly and helpful when it comes to the menu,the food is always cooked to order so its fresh and hot,there's always a good choice to choose from.

Nicest coffee in Wrexham and the best atmosphere. The food looks amazing as well. I will definitely be eating here soon, as I come here everyday for a coffee on my way to work.

I've been in portugal couple years ago. I love their food! When i visit this restaurant I felt again like in portugal! Lovely, tasty and cheap food, very kind and nice staff 😊

Food was super yummy and the coffee is the best I’ve had in Wrexham! Such a nice little cafe with lovely staff.

Roomy , well decorated and full of joy place with great food for surprisingly low price for such a good quality . Lovely owners always up for friendly chat . Awesome customer service . I recommend this place for a quick coffe ,lunch either a big party with your friend or family :)

I recommend Vasco da Gama with all my heart. delicious fresh food. great served. of course also affordable prices. I heartily recommend

I'm very happy to visit Vasco da Gama a really taste for the Portuguese cuisine.I invite everyone to come and enjoy Wonderful Food in a Continental atmosphere.

Yeah, the food was good really had a great time. The price was very reasonable and the cakes too. I will be coming back again.

When I entered the vasco da gama I was surprised by the atmosphere and it looked really nice inside. I walked up to the counter and ordered a hot drink and was served by a very nice man. He was quick with his service and I had my latte in no time. I also ordered a little Portuguese tart which was to die for.

Today I went in and was welcomed by the staff and I got the meal of the day, and must I say it was great. Portuguese cuisine never tasted something like that and I really enjoyed it. Very welcoming very quickly served and payed attention to.

I went there today and I was welcomed with a smile it was very busy which shocked me because it’s a new restaurant I got a beef stew as a meal which was also great value for money you get a starter a main meal a desert and a coffee for eight pound!!!!will definitely go again with my family and friends

This restaurant is a really nice place for a family or just a nice place to go on your lunch break. The prices are fantastic and the customer service is amazing . The food is unique and different from all the other restaurants.i would definitely go and visit,you won’t be let down and certainly will get your money’s worth.its is one of the friendliest place to go to,you meet a lot of new people and make a lot of new friends.

Fresh daily food great prices and good fell welcome each time I go there could thank enough for everything ❤️

Amazing food, good value for money highly recommended if you are willing to try homemade food, desert and expresso almost for free.

Superb food, tremendous value, really great cooking. I have made this my regular lunchtime destination. The lunchtime special, often with a choice of three delicious main courses must be the best food in town,not to mention the best value. Super atmosphere,really welcoming, considerable number of “new” regular customers.

We have been visiting this Portugese cafe/restaurant on a regular basis in Maria's former cafe/restaurant in Lord street and have never been disappointed. The new one is more roomy, beautifully decorated and the quality is the same, first class and very reasonable. We have just had lunch chicken breast with mushroom sauce followed by a lemon gateau and coffee. Every thing is freshly cooked, with the menu changing daily and the cakes, especially the "pasteis de nata" are a take home must..

My husband and I had a beautiful meal, good service and lovely surroundings, very reasonable price, will definitely visit again and highly recommend. Can recommend the Duck Rice, very tasty and a good sized meal.

Wybrałyśmy się z koleżanką na kawę do Vasco...Niestety nie byłyśmy zadowolone.Po pierwsze duży minus że nie ma możliwości zapłacić kartą w 21 wieku to chyba nie do pomyślenia.Kawa to jakaś lura! !!!A cudowne wypieki,które miały mi przypomnieć Portugalię może i były smaczne ale wyglądowo nie zachęcały.Plusem jest duży lokal.Nad resztą trzeba jeszcze dużo popracować.

Organised, planned to come to this restaurant hopibg to eat nice food, feel a tad portuguese and socialise with friends over a meal and watch portugal play. To my shock i was told that they would not do food and after speaking to the owners previkusly, this to me is not a good start to a business. Wont ever consider cime there and very disppoibted by a badly run business.
