Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had eaten many times in the past at Barraca but it had recently changed hands and we were unsure what to expect. We need not have been concerned, from the warm welcome to the excellent fish lunch it was every bit as good as...it has always been.More

Fantastic fish. Very friendly staff. Simple menu featuring fresh fish. Does the basics really well. We've been twice in 3 days. And will go again. Great cheesecake. Probably the best restaurant in Bergau

We were not aware the restaurant had changed hands. A much smaller menu, still featuring fresh fish which was nice, but lacked the service quality and Portuguese charm of our last visit. The fish was nice and fresh, but a much smaller selection of sides...and dishes.More

of course, the location is great. this place has new owners. in 2019 it was a great, affordable local place full of Portuguese and the food was cooked on a coal grill. all three waiters were older Portuguese men. Now it is 25 euros an...entree with young, pretty, but "non-local" waitresses. No thanks. I am glad the previous owners got an awesome price--they deserved it!More

We visited 3 times A Barraca during our one week stay in Burgau. The best place to eat fresh grilled fish in Burgau, for sure, with 3 fantastic meals, 1 pregado for 2, shrimps + seabream and finaly cataplana de peixe. Yhe fish comes ro...the table dor viewing, properly wrapped in a protective cover for higiene reasons, so you can literaly take a good look at the fish you will actually eat. The outstanding food is only matched by the friendlyness of the staff and the owner that also operates the grill We will return to Burgau, and we will return to A Barraca.More

A member of staff started speaking to my colleague in a very rude and aggressive manner soon as we walked through the door. When I tried to speak to other staff he lied and said very aggressively that I can’t speak to anyone else: No...you can’t speak to anyone else! I am The owner of the place speak to me. I have responded very politely : I would like to speak to someone else. He was not the owner. He lied. When I tried to ask for direction and explanation about how the system works in the hope to figure out if we needed a reservation; He threatened me with calling the police. I have eventually managed to get the actual Owner and tried to explain the situation. It was one of the most disgusting experience I ever had. Luckily I have found his picture in the reviews. Please be aware of him.More

Always good for a lovely meal. Great fish, great service. We advise that you book as it’s always busy. We usually pop here when we are at our house and it was nice to be there after nearly two years away due to the pandemic
