It's maybe a bit dear but they do have a set menu to choose from which is a bit more affordable. Food is nice and atmosphere is pleasant which is what earned it my "very good" vote; I've had better and cheaper before but it's quite a nice place to have a meal when you're on holiday.

Utterly amazing restaurant, great selection of wine and superb waiting staff with excellent knowledge of all food on the menu. Innovative culinary ideas and amazing food that was not fussy but just tasty and different. I would drive the 80 miles from our home just to have a meal here!

Fantastic..... had Porto fish supper and eggs and soldiers for dessert... real eggs shells filled with different mousses with shortbread fingers and a chocolate spoon. Very innovative. A must to try and experience

My Partner and I stumbled on Porto and were lucky enough to find they had had a cancellation 15 minutes earlier. I could spend a good while raving about the food, atmosphere, staff, decor etc, but I wont. All I will say is that we could not fault one single thing. Everything was done to a very high standard and... More

We went to Porto on the second night of our stay in Bowness as we had heard rave reviews about the food and it definitely lived up to our expectations! The restaurant in general is a very sophisticated and modern establishment with beautiful gothic decor. I had the Arnicini to start and the haddock and scallops for main and my... More

We won a meal with a glass of Prosecco as part of the Cranleigh Facebook competition and have to say every part of the experience at the Porto was outstanding. The staff were perfect - funny, attentive and happy to have a bit of a chat. I have to say the service is the best we've received in as long... More

Had gorgeouse dinner here with my wife on Friday evening. Food and service were excellent. Smoked duck starter was a particular highlight. The chef really knows what he's doing with his food and the waiters were very informative and friendly. Good price for what you get.

Had dinner here twice during a recent week away to The Lakes and everything was excellent on both visits. The food quality and cooking was first class, the service extremely efficient with very friendly staff. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance and is very nicely decorated. With a wealth of restaurants in Bowness to choose from, you can be sure... More
