The Armory NJ, Portuguese restaurant on Front Street in Perth Amboy, United States.
The Armory is a Portuguese restaurant housed in a renovated waterfront building in Perth Amboy. The dining area opens to views of Raritan Bay and Staten Island across the water.
The building originally served as a naval ammunition storage facility during the two World Wars. It was later transformed into a restaurant after its military purpose ended.
The menu showcases Portuguese cooking through seafood dishes and shellfish specialties prepared in traditional ways. Diners can taste authentic preparations like grilled octopus and fresh catches that reflect the cuisine's coastal roots.
The restaurant is located at 200 Front Street and opens Sunday through Thursday until 9:30 PM, extending to 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The waterfront location provides parking and easy access from both land and water routes.
The structure retains its original naval architecture while now housing a separate Tiki Bar and event spaces. This blend of military history and contemporary amenities creates an unusual dining setting.
