Took a ride from Boston (Massachusetts) to Newark (New Jersey) to drop off some boxes at a transport company to ship to Portugal and stumbled upon this Coimbra Bar & Restaurant and what a treat it was. Our server Pedro was amazing!!! The piglet was the best I’ve ever had, with its crispy skin, and the service was 5 stars even with the Saturday lunch rush. This is definitely a site we will be visiting again. See you soon!

Great food matched by great atmosphere. The place was packed. They could space out the tables a little better. They really cram everyone in there. Nice professional staff. Will definitely be

Food was terrible. A surprise for a Portuguese restaurant in Ironbound. They served me days old chicken that was reheated. it smelled like a chicken out of the fridge that was put back in the oven. Fries were cold. Not coming back.

Good Portuguese food, traditional restaurant, not fancy. Good for a family meeting. Service can improve.

What is there not to love but the closest taste of fine Portuguese dining while not having to catch a flight to Coimbra, Portugal. My favorite was their pork cube clams, well marinated that the pork cubes and clams taste like they were one. The octopus salad was also well seasoned, maybe a little too heavy with the onions but the octopus wasn't chewy or overcooked, it was seasoned and settled well with all the flavors when served. I did not like the soup, I can get fresher soup from Seabra's on 83 Wilson Ave. The not-so-pleasant-going-towards-the-fermented soup I couldn't palate the soup after the second try. Other than that everything else was well made, locally bought and I did love their mixed salads, the salads tasted fresh which is difficult during a time of climate justice. Maybe the waiter should of asked was there something wrong with the soup. I would have shared my opinion. The pastel de nata sweet and not too heavy but just heavenly crisp and a thick pudding like cream of heaven. There's a parking lot available on Fillmore, the atmosphere was laid-back, patrons sitting down either at the bar or on the serving tables. There's a larger dining area on the left side of the restaurant and a private room downstairs for a more private party. Waiters were attentive and courteous, they wanted to know how they can be of service as they checked in on the customers. There bartenders can be a little snarky but I understand it's challenging to be behind the counter. Next time Coimbra, overall well done.Parking: Parking is on the side street, Fillmore.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it's wheelchair accessibility is reasonable.

My first time at this restaurant and it was great. The service was on point and the food delicious. Definitely going back again.
The food was outstanding, the portions generous, and the staff was incredible. I had Octopus and Rice, which was out of this world! It made me want to visit Portugal!

Neighborhood family hotspot in the Ironbound. We ordered the clams in green sauce as an appetizer, and suckling pig and Extra Jumbo Shrimp With Head/ Gambas Grelhadas as our entrees. Everything was delicious and calls for a return visit.
