About A Sardinha

A Sardinha, located on Praia dos Arrifes, offers a beachfront dining experience with a view of the ocean. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, suitable for both swimsuit-clad beachgoers and those in more formal attire. The service is acceptable, but the dishes, including starters, main courses, and desserts, have been criticized for not justifying their high prices, which can reach €70 per person.

The menu features seafood, and one reviewer mentioned paying €80 for a meal that included oysters, a shrimp salad, a frozen margarita, and a glass of wine. Another diner praised the freshness of the shrimp and vegetable soup, as well as the grilled fish and squid. However, the sangria received mixed reviews.

Some reviewers have criticized the prices, while others argue that the cost is worth it for the quality of the seafood. It is worth noting that bread, butter, and olives are typically charged for in Portugal, and many restaurants, including A Sardinha, display their prices clearly. Therefore, it may be best to dine elsewhere if on a tight budget. Overall, A Sardinha is a good option for those seeking high-quality seafood and are willing to pay a premium price.
