BarCa is defined as a fine dining restaurant: signature cuisine, served informally in a sophisticated environment. It aims to be an innovative space, not only with regard to the approaches it proposes, but also by simplifying and breaking some basic rules of the service, which is rigorous but relaxed.

For Luis Bettencourt, and Rosa Bettencourt there is only good cuisine and bad cuisine. Yours defines it as a cuisine of flavor: refined taste, perfect technique and excellent product. The basis of its gastronomic philosophy lies in its influences and references: travel around the world, passion for Africa, knowledge of traditional Portuguese cuisine, life in Portugal!

    Our first time this restaurant by name and was formerly the Cinderella restaurant. The food was good and the service was good. The noise was loud only because of a very loud talking man who openly was discussing his superior white privileged. It was never addressed by the staff. Overall, a nice small quaint restaurant and well decorated with a good menu.

    It was a busy night! Loved the food! I got the lamb, it was cooked perfectly to my liking. My fiancé got the tomahawk steak. We will be back!

    This was our second time at BarCa, and both experiences were wonderful. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The menu includes both traditional Portuguese dishes and recipes that are more typical of American fine dining establishments (rack of lamb, etc.). All are well prepared and flavorful. The owner is very kind and attentive. It is our new favorite restaurant in Fall River.

    We stumbled onto this precious and delicious gem of a restaurant because our kid goes to a college nearby. The menu is extensive and makes it difficult to choose, but it was all delicious. We will visit again.
