The C&t Portuguese Wine & Tapas Bar

The real deal. You could be mistaken for thinking you were eating out in Portugal, which I have done many times. Overall the food was excellent and the Portuguese house white great - of course. The chouriço was exceptional. Desserts, as ever for any true Portuguese restaurant, were delicious. The restaurant was quite small, so booking ahead at busier times is recommended.

Booked for a birthday lunch for two, very quiet. Ordering was slightly confusing but the waiter was very helpful. One of the fried starters was still frozen inside, the staff were mortified, immediately took it away and replaced with our mains which were brilliant as were the desserts. Wine, drinks and coffee well priced, staff couldn’t be more helpful. When the bill came they had discounted it by £5 due to the starter. Would go there again.

A couple of days in Exeter for our anniversary. Had a Google search of places to eat and this place sounded right up our street. So pleased we went with it, loved the smaller set up, lovely staff and the food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Great cocktails. We were so full from the amazing sharing board we had to take away our dessert to enjoy in bed at our hotel. If you haven't been here I would recommend you go and we will definitely be back.Thank you for a wonderful meal!

The food is delicious! My husband and I picked The Cork and Tile for date night and had fun picking from a well organized and easy to understand menu, this was our first time eating Portuguese food. We did note that the menu online has many dishes that were missing from the menu we were given in-house. Dessert is a must, I got the classic custard tart and my husband got the coconut cake with ice cream and were both supremely happy with our choices. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for date night. The service was fine, we were left alone a lot and would have liked to be checked on a little more often, we waited 20 minutes to ask for the bill. We weren’t in a hurry though so didn’t feel the need to get up and ask or go out of our way to get someone’s attention. We’ll be back, our hope is to conquer the whole dessert menu after a while!

The food was great! We had the 3 starters for £6 deal and got the chicken dough ball, the hake pastry, and the samosa filled with goat cheese. As a main we shared the mar e terra which was amazing! The meats were grilled perfectly and the octopus and shrimp were of great quality, which made it well worth the price. We also shared a jug of the red sangria. I’ve never had the cherry liqueur Ginjinha but it fit amazingly in the sangria. I can definitely recommend eating here. The staff is nice and considerate, and the decorations with the tiles on the walls is very nice.
