Gloria's Portuguese Tapas Restaurant

Gloria's is a lovely little restaurant in Petersham which serves up hearty and yummy Portuguese food, something i hadn't tried before being invited her by Sydneyguyrojoe last night. Since there were 4 of us including Passionate Foodies and Gabbys79 we decided to share all the food so we can all try a little bit of everything we ordered. For mains we went with the Alentejana (which is a dish consisting of diced pork with fried clams and diced cubed potatoes, coriander and vege pickles), the seafood paella as well as the Lulas Recheadas c/ batatas cozidas (calamari stuffed with bacon, bread and pine nuts in a tomato based sauce). For tapas we had the Portuguese style prawns, pork chorizo grill...

<br/ Gloria's does a fantastic job at providing restaurant quality Portuguese favourites in Australia. (Portuguese food is notoriously hard to recreate outside of Portugal . You can feel the love and passion at Gloria's to share Portuguese food with Australia. <br/ <br/ We ate in. I recommend eating in if you want to get a proper Portuguese experience. <br/ <br/ The highlight for me was the guisado de carneiro tapa (lamb stew , which was very soft, rich and delicious. Even in the peak of summer we enjoyed it. <br/ The feijoada (typical bean meat dish was done very well, and we all really enjoyed it. <br/ The camaroes (big prawns were fantastic, and worth ordering. <br/ The Polvo Grelhado (gr...

My group of five went to this restaurant for a meal before heading out. We ended up ordering more than we could eat. My partner and I each ordered an Espenada, which came with fries and a salad. Our friend tried the stew, while another couple shared a variety of tapas. The Espenada was delicious and tender, served on a rack. The fries were good but the salad needed more dressing. One order of Espenada with fries and salad was enough for two people. The stew was enjoyed by our friend, and the serving size was generous. The tapas included stuffed octopus (not liked), chorizo (a bit dry but a fun cooking experience), and prawns (much enjoyed). The drink list was decent, with options like red sa...

We got a Groupon deal because it sounded just too good to pass up. Six course tapas for 2 with a glass of sangria each for less than a movie ticket and popcorn. You get this authentic Portuguese feel when you walk in. The walls are lined with faded photos of Portugal, our waitresses had Spanish accents and just like that you're no longer in Petersham. I would love to come back here and try dishes from their al a carte menu, our preselected dishes were decent but I have a feeling this little restaurant has so much more to offer.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone unfamiliar with Portuguese cuisine. The food is wonderful, the service is friendly, and the traditional Portuguese atmosphere is a definite plus. The sangria is famous for a reason, and the clams for appetizers are a must-try. The seafood rice has a nice spice kick to it as well. While I only tried a few dishes, there are probably many more worth sampling.

First visit to a Portuguese restaurant so I wasn't sure what to expect and I have nothing to compare with, but the food was very delicious and good value for money. The chorizo grilled on the table was quite nice. I also liked the octopus salad and the sandwich stack. I would definitely return to try the other items on the menu.

I was eager to taste an authentic francesinha but was disappointed with the high price and subpar quality. The sandwich was meaty, but the cheap cheese and bland beer sauce left much to be desired. However, the feijoada was exceptional, delicious, and a larger portion compared to the sandwich at a more affordable price.

I tried the takeaway menu, which was a beef burger and chips for $9. Sat down for a while as I waited. The food was good, with a range of vegetables in the burger, and quite a lot of chips. Would say it's an okay amount for $9.Might return. Reserva una mesa ahora

We come here with a Groupon deal which buys us drinks, garlic bread, and five different tapas. The tapas are mostly well done and taste alright, however they are quite an ordinary selection of menu items
