Portelet Bay Cafe

+ ABOUT US

CLOSED UNTIL MARCH 2020
Portelet Bay Cafe is a family run cafe located right on the beach at Portelet Bay in Jersey, Channel Islands. The bay is set between the conservation areas of Noirmont and Portelet Common and is outstandingly beautiful.
The cafe specialises in authentic wood fired pizza as well as seasonal fresh fish during high season and salads always using locally sourced produce wherever possible. Our philosophy is to provide the highest quality and the freshest food possible, therefore we have a small menu which changes often to reflect this. All our puddings and cakes are homemade.

Access to the cafe is either by steps down to the bay or boat. You can not drive to the cafe, but we believe this makes it all the more special and this unique location, far from traffic and roads, offers the perfect place to sit and relax. The atmosphere is extremely warm, relaxed and welcoming, and we also love the company of well behaved dogs on leads!

Since we purchased the site in 2014, we have been uncovering the gardens above the cafe which historically were a quarry and then part of the Jersey Holiday Village. We have uncovered the original steps and walkways throughout the gardens and have created dry granite walls from the original quarry spoil to make cotils and borders for plants, herbs and vegetables for the restaurant.

We have indoor and outdoor seating. We have a small but decent selection of wine and beer. Booking is essential during the summer season.

Please read our blog ‘how it all began’ for more information on the history of the cafe and our project.

TAKE AWAY
We do our best to support a take away service for pizza to the beach, however during very busy times there may be a wait as we have a small kitchen and demand is high. We do not offer a delivery service but you are welcome to wait and collect your pizza from the cafe if the kitchen is able to support this outside of main service times. Your understanding at busy times is greatly appreciated, and we stress that we are predominantly an eat in restaurant rather than a take a way and seated customers do have priority at busy times.
