Bela Lisboa - Port Orange

We tried Bela Lisboa for the first time tonight and had such an amazing experience. Everyone was very attentive to the needs of the table. My husband loved the surf and turf and getting to cook it at the table. The complimentary hummus was also a great surprise. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice dinner out.

The food and service at this restaurant are outstanding (I understand that many places are understaffed, and I take this into account when evaluating service). The goat cheese appetizer is exquisite, and the presentation of their dishes is both excellent and unique (for example, the beef skewers are served hanging; the rack is removed in my photo). The vegetables are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—nothing mushy here. If you're always on the lookout for well-prepared calamari, you won't be disappointed (though I haven't included a picture). It's refreshing to have a different type of restaurant to visit. The cuisine is Portuguese and Mediterranean.

Incredible fresh food! I can't believe it took me so long to visit this restaurant! It was my first time trying octopus (as an appetizer), and it was fantastic. The slices were thin, tender, and perfectly seasoned! The fig and goat cheese spread was delicious and delightful, and the accompanying bread was incredibly fresh. The spicy shrimp appetizer was plump and tasty! Watching the flambeed chorizo being prepared was a highlight, and it definitely stood out from your typical chorizo. The osso buco (veal) was absolutely perfect—so tender it fell apart with a fork! For dessert, the lemon cake and crème brûlée were my favorites! The atmosphere was lovely too. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of the menu!

What an incredible dining experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is outstanding. We enjoyed a fantastic selection of Portuguese wines, delicious food, and attentive service. We explored numerous new dishes, and I can't express enough how wonderful everything was! The octopus and salty cod were absolutely perfect, and the goat cheese with fig was among my favorite items. Everything was expertly cooked, beautifully presented, and spot on in flavor! The service was fantastic, and the wine was crisp and refreshing. We will definitely be returning again and again! Even my eight-year-old daughter loved everything!

I?ve dined here many times and each experience is consistently amazing. Their hummus is the best I?ve ever had. Even my husband loves it and he hates hummus ???? The octopus is perfect; not rubbery or fishy. The Osso Buco will melt in your mouth. Cooking on the 500° stone is a great experience for the kids. Their selection of Portuguese wine beer is great. I highly recommend Bela Lisboa to anyone looking for a different dining experience in the Daytona Beach area.
