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!

    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.

    Food was delicious, drinks were great. I believe it’s just the husband running the bar and taking care of tables while the wife is the chef. Service is a bit slow but the food and drinks and the decor make up for it.

    The owner is the waiter and his wife is the chef. He was very helpful in picking out wine and describing the entrees.The chorizo stuffed yucca appetizer was delicious, I wish there was a bit more sauce. The entrees were large portions and very good. The chocolate mousse was delicious! The restaurant is decorated beautifully. My only complaint was the loud obnoxious music that was playing.
