New Bedford restaurant branching out with new, different, location in Fall River

A New Bedford restaurant is branching out to Fall River.

Aliança Platter House is an upcoming restaurant specializing in Portuguese platters and buffet style takeout options.

APH will be an expansion of the established Aliança Restaurant at 98 Cove Street in New Bedford, owned by Susie Amaral, who acquired the original location about six years ago and built its reputation for authentic Portuguese cuisine.

The new spot is set to open soon at the former Mr. Chicken site at 652 Bedford Street.

The restaurant posted the following on social media.

“We want to be able to serve our guests our delicious Aliança food at our restaurant and celebrate with them by offering platters for any occasion without interrupting either service that we currently provide!

“We hate to say “no” to orders coming in or having to shut down the restaurant for a few hours or sometimes slow things down while we prepare big platter orders! So, this way we can still do both better and keep everybody Happy!!!

“We will still be doing some platters out of NB, just a little more controlled. Larger orders will be in Fall River. Delivery service will be an option eventually too!”

The platter options at their current location include:

Small Feeds 4-6+
Medium Feeds 6-12+
Large Feeds 12-25+
