The best restaurants in Portishead Central North Somerset South West

Met friends at this restaurant, they had been before and live locally, my first time I had travelled from London. Service and ambience very good, maybe a tad noisy, for some. Food was good, my wild mushroom tagliatelle was exceptional, rich, great flavours, it has Bath blue cheese and truffle oil. I’m not a vegetarian, but often have a dish that doesn’t contain meat. Would highly recommended this dish and it has locally sourced cheese.mmmmmm

Local friendly pub, very helpful, met some really nice chatty people, owner and her daughter very helpful and friendly, made to feel very welcome, would highly recommend a visit, especially when the extension is finished,

The young short lady with black hair and piercings was very rude to me. I was trying to find out if their coffee was vegan, and was told to go away and find out. I was only standing at the bar! I was not in anyone's way whatsoever!

A flavour packed first visit that has left us wanting to try more! Both mains (lamb and duck) were plentiful and beautifully cooked. However, the salmon fishcakes stole the show! They were delicious, packed full of salmon and really hit the spot. This was our first visit but will certainly not be our last! A must try for those living in portishead!

Food all tasted the same. Was due 6-6.20 and arrived at 7pm

Fantastic food, very well sized portions, fast service and nice people. Prices are very reasonable too. We keep coming back!

Website said it would be open at 1400, I got there at 1430 and was still all closed up. They need to update website/google.

Probably the worse chips I've ever eaten, considering that chips and fish is what you do then getting 50,% right isn't enough, luckily enough tonight I cooked my own fish

Every time we come back there we expect more of the same, however we never get more of the same, we just keep getting better and better! We were served this time by the delightful Lowri which we like because she always has time for us and always has a smile on her face. We have been as a couple, we have dined there with family, we have been there with friends and every time we leave with a smile on our faces and a feeling of money and time well spent. We know we can be a tough crowd, we have been lucky enough to go to a lot of places and see a lot of the world. This often means that we expect more than sometimes perhaps we should. None of that matters in a place like La Marina where the food is always great the wine is always just right for the food and the service comes from the likes of Lowri. Lowri who is a long standing member of the team with the owner and manager always look after us so well. They fitted us in and even rang us to suggest moving our table inside when the weather report changed at short notice so that we didn't miss out. When restaurants and staff go the extra mile like that, they are worth going the extra mile to. If you are in Portishead be it as a resident or a fleeting visit, make the time and don't miss out on a fantastic dining experience and smile with them as they always give service with a smile.

Really great experience last night, wonderful cocktails made by the friendliest staff i have come across in Portishead, , the atmosphere was great too . 2-4-1 Cocktails was the perfect start to an evening out , thank you

Hmmm... This is a tough one. It's Tapas, it's expensive, it's not a place for a 'main meal'. The issue I have with Venga, is that it only offers Tapas, but implies that it's a restaurant on its menu. All this would be Okay, except it charges main meal prices for its Tapas dishes. Now this would be Okay, if they were main meal sizes, or Tapas prices... But they aren't. £12 (at time of writing) for Prawns Gambas in which the prawns were just bog standard prawns... Not even king sized and only about 8-10 in the dish. Tapas is about a quick nibble while out with friends and traditionally priced accordingly... A few Euros, maybe 5. On top if this the new menu was trying to charge £12 for a single (medium) sized baguette with two very small dips (olive oil and balsamic + and Aioli) So I think my advice to anyone going here would be, don't plan to eat here as your main meal, if you do, be prepared to get small portions and pay a lot for them and don't expect to fill up on bread unless you want to re mortgage the house. The atmosphere is what you go here for, which is great, as are the staff who were very friendly and helpful. Please hit like if this was helpful.

been here with my friends, family & coworkers. I love the Mars Milkshake & Tuna Sandwiches/Melts whist catching up with friends, coworkers or family

We love The Port - our go to local bar for drinks and food in the sunshine. Always friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of beers, wines, waffles and pizzas.

Visited this cafe whilst on a short trip to the area. Would say it's a bit of a hidden gem near the boatyard. Our breakfast order was served quickly, and our hearty meal proved to be very tasty. Staff were polite and friendly. Good experience and happy to recommend.

Brilliant restaurant. Appetisers and meals were plentiful, filling and delicious. I’m gluten free and often this makes eating out a challenge, but this restaurant showed clearly the options available on the menu and they were plentiful. Good knowledge of gluten free by the staff. We will definitely be back again for a tasty and upmarket Indian meal.
