About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

At Bar Casa Vale, wood fire meets tradition in a celebration of Spanish flavors and Portland’s seasonal bounty. Our menu draws from timeless Iberian recipes—think crispy ham croquetas, charred octopus a la Gallega, and ember-roasted meats—all cooked over live flame for depth and soul. We’re proud to offer one of Portland’s most extensive Spanish wine lists, from crisp Albariños to rare bottles from the Canary Islands, alongside a creative cocktail program that plays with vermouths, sherries, and bold house infusions.

Whether you're enjoying tapas and a glass of cava on our vibrant patio, sipping cocktails at our wrap-around bar, or sharing a cozy dinner in our warm, fire-lit dining room, Bar Casa Vale invites you to slow down and savor. Come for a drink, stay for a feast—this is Portland hospitality with Spanish heart.

I used to LOVE this place. The quality of food had sadly gone down and the price has gone up. When the price goes up and the quality and quantity have gone down it makes it much less approachable to do this tapas style. The price takes way too many duplicative orders of mediocre food to make it worth it anymore, sadly. Honestly one of my historically favorite restaurants that I no longer have a desire to visit again. That said, service was AMAZING. Loved every person that helped us and the atmosphere was great. I just wish the food lived up to what it used to be.

We have been coming here for years - a big favorite. There has been a change (perhaps the new chef?). Prices are the same but portion sizes have been noticeably reduced. A very loud large group made the dining experience unpleasant.

Food was mostly okay to good, but not great. Service was pretty good. Neighborhood and surrounding area was crawling with people living in tents and tagging buildings. A total of 23% was added to our bill for health insurance (3%- fine, disclosed on menu and website) but also a mandatory gratuity of 20%- was not disclosed until the bill came. Overall not a great experience or value.

The food was delicious! A small range of menu items and some of the dishes we just wanted a little bit more for the price. The drinks were really the star; we will be going back for the cocktails!

The advertise their portions as something else on their social media, but in person they were minuscule sizes at best and drastically overpriced. I am always willing to pay for exceptional food but you shouldn’t be getting two bites for $20.
