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

Reviewers most often point to the traditional British cooking, with lamb's liver and chips, fish and chips, and a well-liked pie coming up repeatedly alongside praise for friendly, efficient service and a family-friendly, clean setting. Breakfast also draws return visits, and desserts get mixed notice: several call the pastries and apple pie with custard highlights, but others single out the bread and butter pudding and sticky toffee pudding as disappointing, describing a small portion and butterscotch sauce that had turned solid rather than saucy. One reviewer's chicken curry arrived with more pineapple than chicken, a substitution not flagged on the menu, which they felt padded the dish cheaply. Value is repeatedly called reasonable given the portion sizes. Service is described as quick and attentive even when busy, with staff and management noted as keeping things moving during full sittings, and multiple diners say they plan to return.

    “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.”
