Review by Odell

November 10, 2024

Nestled in Newark, PortuCale Restaurant & Bar offers a cozy escape with superb Portuguese flavors. My friends and I visited recently, drawn in by their late-night hours. The atmosphere was relaxed, allowing us to unwind after a long day. I went with the T-Bone Steak, perfectly grilled and accompanied by vibrant, sautéed vegetables. The red sangria was delightful too! My friends raved about the stuffed salmon and garlic shrimp. Service was quick and friendly, making our night pleasant... Definitely planning a return! 🍷
