Very good café and restaurant! Wonderful kind people!! Amazing portugese tarts, the best i have ever had in my whole life they are warm and fresh. Coffee is also very good. The food was good tasty, hearty food with huge portion. The steak sandwich was so good. Some dishes werent the best though such as the fish and chips. The food overall is very good homestyle portugese cooking Service was amazing, the waiter really went out if his way to welcome us and create a top dining experience. He bought out tasters for us so we could see if we liked the daily special and changed the TV channel.The menu has a great range. The prices vary depending on what you get, but overall its very cheap and great value for money. Definitely the best cafe in Bodmin so I highly recommend.

Just had some truly delightful coffee and cakes at the Taste of Portugal in Bodmin. The lovely lady behind the counter was really nice and helpful, she told me about the cakes and added some cinnamon for me. The portuguese patrons were really friendly and I had a great experience. This is going to become a regular coffee shop for me.

True Portuguese styled cafe. Excellent Portuguese coffee, and snacks. It is a little tugged away maybe but at least with nice weather you can sit outside. Definitely coming back on my next visit to Bodmin.

Lovely little restaurant just off the main street. If you like Portuguese food then you are in for a treat. Just popped in for a coffee but after looking at the menu had lunch there. Menu at lunch time caters for snacks but also meals from main menu. Food was well prepared , good sized portions and a fair price and tasted delicious. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. We had the Beef and prawn kebab and Garlic steak and home made wedges. We are passing Bodmin on Friday and will definitely stop there again for lunch.

I had a pleasure to shoot a wedding reception at Portuguese Taste. There was a beautifully presented buffet with Portuguese specialities and a stunning reception room. Absolutely delicious food and of course the best Portuguese wine! The service was superb and the staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone with appreciation of delicious food and to those who want to try traditional Portuguese cuisine. I will definitely be coming back :D

We had a lovely meal. Prawns were better than those we had a day prior in a restaurant near Par.

Great staff and customer services. Everyone is really friendly. I walked in 14 months ago and now visit here frequently. It great to hear the Portuguese people's journeys. They are all hard working. 10 out of 10. Come down for a meal, great dishes.
