My husband and I ate here for our 7th wedding anniversary meal on the 11th June. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food was amazing. Can't fault it. The appetisers were a lovely touch and all the food was full of flavour. It was a lovely anniversary meal and we would definitely go back.

Porto was selected by my partner through the reviews on here, it contained a nice variety of food and looked (from the pictures) to be a very pleasant set up. We arrived slightly early for our meal and were immediately seated, drink orders were taken and appetisers were presented soon after, a nice touch. The starters were soon served; a... More

The small well crafted menu was composed by the chef so that each dish contained a range of tastes and flavours. This along with the smart but casual ambience made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Good value and highly recommended

We ate here at lunch time on the last day of our weekend away. For the first half hour we were the only ones in there so that did effect the atmosphere slightly. The food was lovely we took advantage of the 2 courses for £15 I had the beef koftas which were amazing followed by the mushroom risotto which... More

If this is not the best restaurant in Bowness (and there are a few) then I would be highly surprised. Nice decor with superb tables with room between you and everyone else (for a change). Great service from the moment you arrive. Each meal was served at just the right time for you to look forward to it and then... More

Went to Porto wanting to try something new and having read the reviews on Tripadvisor. It's impressive how a restaurant can accumulate so many good reviews in the few years that it has been open so we thought it would be well worth a visit. The welcome was warm and service was good throughout. Starters: smoked mackerel on brioche did... More

While checking out the surroundings we spotted some stunning looking Chandeliers which caught my eye. The decor pulled us in. We checked out the menu and it excited us. On entering to book a table we were greeted by a friends warm atmosphere in well thought out surroundings.When we mentioned we were on our Honeymoon we were made to feel... More
