After reading the other low star reviews, I'm almost waiting in anticipating for the owner's response. You have to call ahead for reservations, it appears the locals love this place and its easy to understand why, if you're from the area the hostess seems to know everyone on a first name basis and they all get along (staff and patrons) quite well. With our greeting however, not so much. As soon as we arrived, before even stating our name the hostess told us we were late for our reservation, when in fact we were ten minutes early. When we were finally seated, it was next to a giant spider web. We'd asked to switch seats but were told they were fully booked (understood to not switch seats, but a giant spider web should be removed from the seating area). At each table, without asking they place a giant bottle of water (will get back to that later) so we poured 2 glasses for ourselves.Facebook photos showed an expensive surf n turf dish which was served on a black platter, we pointed this out to the waitress and asked if we could be served this dish exactly like the photo (on the platter), was told yes but we received the dish on a white plate. Not that big of a deal if it were say a burger or sandwich, but as this dish alone was over $50 it was a disappointment. Both the chicken and lobster were overcooked, and when we got the bill we realized the water bottle was $5.

Nelson (Owner) goes out of his way to make you feel like you are a guest in his home. He is very knowledgeable about the Portuguese cuisine and wines. The inside decor makes the customer feel as if you are in Portugal. Terri, the server, was great. Our group of six all ordered the Piri Piri Chicken and it was outstanding. Beautiful presentation of the Pasteis de Nata, we will definitely be back.

100% exceeded my expectations. I wish I could leave 6 stars.My husband and I enjoyed an order of Bruschetta and Cod Cakes as our appetizers.Delicious!He favoured the Cod Cakes as they were fresh and well seasoned. Personally, I was very impressed by the bruschetta and pleased they had no problem melting mozzarella cheese on it for me.For our main course we shared Paella for two (Seafood and Rice).To. Die. For.I’d never had anything like it before. Definitely my new favourite dish.Chef Nelson took the time to come out and meet with us after our meal. He ensured we were pleased with our experience and we were happy to deliver nothing but positive feedback.We will return to visit him and his team in the near future.The atmosphere is clean, fun and comfortable. It’s hard to hit all three of those categories simultaneously however, Barcelos takes it above and beyond. By keeping friendly, personable and helpful staff, they ensure you feel welcome and valued as a customer.

Came here last year for the first time. The place was so busy that there were no parking spots left. We were going to try and park across the street but chef / owner ran out and motioned for us to park right in front of the door, said he would love a purple Jeep in his lot. We had a Portuguese seafood platter - this ginormous dish filled with lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp!! The flavor was absolutely exquisite!!Came back to Wasaga this year and it was a must on our list. Again, place was packed but we lucked out again. Had oysters as an appetizer, a seafood paella and bison steak on a hot rock plate. Flavors that make your palate dance in joy!!!Jessica was an amazing server and chef Nelson is a fantastic chef who always makes the time to talk to his guests and make sure everyone is having a good time, despite how busy he is!!

“Mixed feelings”My experience at Barcelos was mediocre. As most reviews warn, the prices here are particularly through the roof… I understand inflation and with Covid things have changed, but not as drastically as this place. Service was good, understaffed as most restaurants but still managed to be very attentive. We sat on the patio and it definitely could use some clean up, chairs and tables are plastic and brittle , uncomfortable really. Food was decent- steak was tasty no doubt.

Chef Nelson and his staff were incredible! I’ve been in the culinary industry for almost a decade and I think that might have been the best paella I’ve ever had.SERVICEThe service was very fast, and timed extremely well, our plates were cleared after our apps almost immediately upon finishing them, and our entree arrived promptly after. A server who wasn’t even our server took a plate away, and you almost never see that. Excellent teamwork. Servers were all very friendly, professional and made our visit amazing.ATMOSPHEREAll around a great feel, I hate when a restaurant has in your face, too loud of music playing. The music was mellow, at a perfect volume, you could have a private conversation and not struggle to hear each other. Dining out should be a whole experience, not just the food, and Barcelos nailed it. With a great selection of wine, specialty coffee and spirits, they have something for everyone.FOODFinally the food! My wife and I had the Cod Cakes, Bruschetta and the Paella for two. The Cod Cake was perfectly textured, and had incredible flavour. You could really tell that they used fresh, high quality fish, and as a deep fried dish, I can promise you their friers are changed and filtered regularly, no bad oily taste at all. Amazing. The bruschetta was a delight, we asked if they could add melted mozzarella in addition to the Parmesan and they did, no problem at all. Some insanely delicious bruschetta. The star of our evening was absolutely the paella however. I could not stop saying WOW with every bite, from the presentation to the flavours, it was amazing. The perfect level of heat, the flavours really exploded on your tongue, this was seriously incredible and you HAVE to try it. The portion was enormous, easily enough for 3 people, I seriously can’t tell you enough how amazing this was.With price increases across the board, and food costs through the roof, this is one of the first places I’ve been to that has found a way to not only justify these prices, but blow your expectations out of the water.I will absolutely be back, this is now my favourite spot. Apologies for the novel I wrote, but wow!Cheers Barcelos staff, thank you for bringing our trip down to an amazing close!

Came here to celebrate my anniversary. We ate at the patio which was nice and socially distanced. It felt like we were in Portugal on a summer night as the patio decor and music is Portuguese. The service was nice and courteous. We ordered their steak and seafood special for 2 which came with 6 tiger shrimp, a 20 oz steak, and veggies. It was delicious! They also gave us a couple complimentary shot glasses of port for our anniversary.The food was great and the service was nice! I will definitely be coming back.
