Porthole Cafe - Middlesbrough

Recently taken over by a new owner. Money has been spent refurbishing to a reasonable standard. They still do breakfasts although pork products no longer feature. On this visit we enjoyed ice creams and milkshakes absolutely delicious. Staff ultra friendly and the place is...clean and tidy. Would recommend you give it a go! Opposite the corner gate to Albert Park opposite the old pump house Scouts new home

My wife I found this café to be in a good, quiet location conveniently behind Albert Park. We found the interior to be comfortable, the staff to be friendly, polite we found it good value for money.

We often pop in and have a breakfast and have always enjoyed it ,its presented on the plate nice and is not greasy we think it is good value for money we find the staff are polite we feel comfortable sitting reading the papers while...waiting for our food

The Porthole café is a simple, but clean and welcoming restaurant. I went with my son and he enjoyed the full English breakfast, particularly noting that the chicken sausages were better than some pork sausages he had tried before. I opted for the Indian breakfast, which was delicious. I definitely plan on returning to this café again in the future.

I had the worst breakfast ever at this restaurant! I didn't realize that it was meat substitutes until after I ordered. I gave it a star because A) I couldn't rate it any lower and B) the eggs were good and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hash browns were greasy and the turkey rashers were terrible. Overall, a waste of money.
