I placed an order this weekend for my husband birthday party. The restaurant was well recommended from a friend of mine. Their quality is amazing and I couldn't be happier with my choice.I would like to mention that they have an Excellent customer service, Célia always answered my questions right away, helped me with all the details, from choosing the dishes to delivery. The food was delicious, very well prepared, very well packaged, all the guests loved it and everyone asked for the restaurant phone number. I Recommend this restaurant 100% and I’ll definitely be buying more from Celia and her team.

The food is great. If you don't feel like cooking it is an easy spot to grab a hearty protein and add your own sides at home or vice versa. Everything I have tried has been great including items as simple as beans, rice, and plantains are excellent. A couple of areas for improvement: 1) the lighting in there is awful. They have a nice large, clean, dining area with large windows but the lighting is similar to that of a doctor's office--just not inviting. 2) dishes lack information on allergens. Someone with allergies would need to speak to the staff to know what they can and can't eat

Dined solo tonight at my favorite new restaurant on the Upper Cape--The Portuguese on Route 28 in Davisville (Falmouth). This was my 5th visit to the Portuguese since I posted my first review back at the beginning of May. Tonight I went to try a specific dish which The Portuguese had been teasing on their FB page for the last week or so--"Chick Peas with Pork a Alentejo." Sounds like such a simple dish, but it was anything but. This stew is complex, flavorful and absolutely delicious. This is seriously good food for serious foodies. This stew is slow braise of pig ears, pig tails, pigs feet, pork belly, three different kinds of sausages (Linguica, Calabresa, and Morcela) along with various vegetables (e.g., onions, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots), garbanzo beans and spices, including mint. The slow cook produces an unctuous and rich sauce just begging to be put over rice (which is served separately with the dish), sopped up with some of their home-made bread, or just consumed directly with a spoon (which is the course of action I pursued). Of course, I couldn't resist the temptation to start my meal with my favorite salad on their regular menu--Salada Montanheira--which I have previously described as a cross between a Spanish gazpacho and a Mexican salsa. I have tried twice to replicate this dish at home without success. I haven't achieved the right balance of olive oil, vinegar, water and spices to achieve the refreshing taste of this salad--which goes beautifully with some of the rich dishes served at The Portuguese. The stew from Alentejo (which is a part of Portugal to the south-east of Lisbon) was delicious and entirely memorable. I hope they will decide to put this dish on their new winter menu. Dining at The Portuguese is a delight--it's casual and comforting, the family who owns this are friendly, earnest, and very proud of the food they are making and they care deeply about whether their customers are enjoying their food. There are still so many dishes on their menu which have yet to try, but I certainly plan on meeting that challenge. Thank you Celia and family or yet another wonderful culinary experience.

26th were very disappointed. The buffet was practically empty. No talk, no pork, no Cod nothing that is listed on their website. I've had Portuguese food and there was nothing in the buffet that resembled Portuguese cuisine. Definitely would not recommend this restaurant.

My daughter, son in law and I went on tuesday evening and loved it. The food was great and plentiful. We got three different dinners - cod, paella and pork - and went home with plenty of leftovers. Celia, with her husband, daughter and brother, create such an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. Additional plus is that it is BYO and there is a great liquor store right next to it. With easy parking, some outdoor seating and sparkling clean and fun decor, Falmouth is so lucky to have such a wonderful place with an important cuisine from our area. I will support them often.

New to East Falmouth, this Portuguese eatery caught our eye despite having a limited number of reviews. It's a low-key spot, set up like a deli featuring a lunch buffet, pastries, desserts, and savory snacks like pastels. The displays have stuff during the day, but options dwindle by evening.The ambiance is ultra-casual, with deli-style formica tables making you feel like you're in a quick-service restaurant. The owners are a Portuguese-Brazilian couple, with the wife's Portuguese uncle in the kitchen. Although they don't serve alcohol, feel free to bring your own from the liquor store next door.Service comes courtesy of their teenage daughter, who's new to the job and quite shy. Patience is key here; it's not a fast-food joint. The dishes we tried were flavorful but be prepared for a staggered meal--dishes arrive 10-15 minutes apart. They were out of a couple of staples like kale soup, but overall, it's a welcome change from the typical seafood spots in the area. Go, but don't be in a hurry. It's a peaceful spot; we were one of just two couples dining.

We enjoyed a breakfast bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich this morning, served on a freshly made Portuguese roll - the size of the roll readily accommodates two fried eggs. The ambience of the restaurant is welcoming and relaxing. The owner of the restaurant takes a great deal of pride in her food, and follows up with pride and insight into her offerings. Definitely recommend trying this family friendly restaurant specializing in authentic Portuguese fare.

They posted that they sold out of Malasadas in about 20 min of being open but promptly started to make another batch and offered to take orders and/or text when the malasadas were available. They did text me promptly when they were ready - got them while they were still warm, and they were great! And the price could not be beat! While picking up the Malasadas - the inside appeared very clean and cheery with several tables to sit at . A very pleasant woman at greeted us at the register helped us. All the food smelt and looked really good; we will definitely be going back to try more. I saw some neg reviews but if those were true, I think it may have been a couple of small bumps that everyone hits when opening a new business. I like to support local businesses - esp when they are just starting. Sorry no photos of the malasadas - they did not last long enough to take a photo. :)
