About The Port Cafe Deli & Restaurant
On High St in Porthmadog, The Port Cafe Deli & Restaurant is a British restaurant with a menu that runs from fish and chips to naan, poppadoms, and chicken curry. Other options include lamb's liver with chips and a range of puddings such as apple pie and custard, bread and butter pudding, and sticky toffee pudding, alongside a vegan pastry and tea cake. Table service brings food to diners, and the restaurant is licensed, so wine or a pint can accompany the meal. It is a large space with a sizeable staff on hand, and it operates on a walk-in basis rather than taking reservations. Dogs are welcome inside. The building sits close to the town's heritage train station, making it a stop for those passing through on foot.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, quick staff are what reviewers raise most, with several saying nothing was too much trouble and one noting a busy room still running efficiently. Food gets steady praise for traditional British plates: a generous lamb's liver with chips described as fresh and crispy, fish and chips, and apple pie and custard. Others mention a vegan pastry, tea cake, naan and poppadoms, and a fantastic breakfast. Several call the value very good, and one visitor arriving by heritage train found the location convenient. Two reviewers were disappointed, though. One said a chicken curry arrived with more pineapple than chicken, which the menu had not mentioned. Another found the bread and butter pudding portion small and the butterscotch sauce on the sticky toffee pudding gone solid, with a taste that was just ok. Reviewers also comment on cleanliness, one noting tables with no sticky residue and no wet disinfectant.

“We had the bread and butter pudding and sticky toffee pudding. We were very surprised at how small the portion was for the bread and butter pudding and the butterscotch sauce on the sticky toffee pudding was no longer a sauce, it was solid. Taste was just ok, nothing special. Would not come back for desserts, very disappointed.”

“Despite the nice atmosphere and fast service, there is one thing I must bring up. Me and my dad both ordered the chicken curry, it arrives and there is more pineapple than chicken. It didn't say this on the menu, nor did they mention it, and it felt like a cheap way to pad the food out. Would only recommend if your favourite food is pineapple.”
