50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Alfeizerao

“I'm not a big fan of fish soup, but here at Zé da Genia I taste like grandma's food. Very well prepared, seasoned and at the right temperature.The grilled veal chop, despite being well done, was tender and easy to break apart with just a fork. House white wine and desserts were also good.Place to return without a doubt.“

“We tried the octopus trilogy, grilled octopus and shrimp with honey and lemon and all the dishes were very good. It is certainly a restaurant not to be missed for octopus lovers. The wine list is a little limited but has quality options. The service is very friendly and fast. I recommend!“

“Congratulations to the entire team that runs this restaurant. Everything was a 10! The clams were the best I've ever eaten, the sardines were just right and the sea bream...what can I say! Awesome.

In addition, the place has a super special decoration. I would recommend it again and again. Oh, and the house shots are delicious!

IMPORTANT: they do not accept card payment“

“I'd go six stars if there were such an option. We have had the pleasure of dining in Joao's restaurant for several years. We used to dine with him at his former location in Sitio. It's one thing to have a spectacular dining experience, sometimes by accident, at a restaurant.- but a real artist can *repeat* the magic, over and over again, year after year. The food is as good as any you will find in Portugal, (and the competition is fierce, Portugal is a land of excellent food). Joao takes the concept of a "guest" in his restaurant to a really unique level. He can converse with almost any guest in their native language- and treats everybody like they were royalty visiting his home. If you have never dined here, correct that as soon as possible. You absolutely will not regret it.“

“When product quality meets excellent service.
When the Calidad/Price Ratio is Insurmountable.
When the Profesionalidad y Simpatía of Carlos and his people makes you feel in your home.

Al Portugal that I love.

When Product Quality meets Excellent Service. When the quality/price ratio is unbeatable. When the professionalism and friendliness of Carlos and his people make you feel at home. When everything tastes like the real Portugal To the Portugal I love. THAT'S IT,
THE TASQUINHA!!“

“I would like to share my positive experience at Solar dos Amigos restaurant. The octopus I ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked and very flavorful. However, I want to mention that the portions, although generous, are perfect for one person if you have a good appetite. It is an excellent place to enjoy well-prepared dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who appreciate good food and satisfying portions.“

“While waiting for the hotel next door to open the check in, I had the best experience ever of amazing food with the best atmosphere and view of Nazaré.
Had the octopus triology and desserts of divine taste!
Definitely a fantastic restaurant to repeat over and over! All they have on the menu is just to die for!“

“Small village restaurant which offers good typical Portuguese dishes.
Everything was delicious: bacalhau, risotto and beef fillet. The quantities are very generous as is often the case in Portuguese restaurants!
The service is friendly and quite fast“

“Excellent example of what the restaurant business should be all about! Food is simply perfect... flavors and textures spot on.Also a note to the very attentive service.Prices are higher than other options in the area, yes they are, but quality has a price.“

“It is on the dock of São Martinho Bay. Professional and pleasant staff. The meal for 10. We ordered, for 2, a zapateira and 1/2 kg of prawns and since they didn't have enough prawns left, they cooked them on the spot. At the end they served us a shot, without asking for it; a detail on your part. Everything very rich and fresh. A quiet place to enjoy a good meal that didn't seem expensive at all“

“I want to share that this restaurant is one of the best in the country due to the quality of the meat they use and the specialized hand working with it. I would also like to thank chef Tiago, for his excellent work and service, which makes me want to go and repeat this experience whenever I have space.

Thanks“

“Every year when we are on vacation in this area, Flavors of Italy is a must for me and my family.
Delicious dishes, elegant but cozy atmosphere and simply impeccable service.
What can you say about a place where they remember you from one year to the next and come to greet you... that I hope we repeat next year again.“

“With its undulating ceilings, windows to the ocean and crispy thin pizza crust. This restaurant wins the bet. A quirky waiter, efficient for sure. We enjoyed our dinner as well as the drive from our perch on top of the mountain 14 minutes north. Sunflower Seaview. The road was wide enough for two small vehicles besides having white lines to lead the way. We drove back at 21:30 at the end of May. The restaurant was always filled, but somehow a table appeared when needed. The salad beautiful and freshly crisp.

Parking: In May, the parking on the wharf was plentiful. Be careful, driving off could be easy if in the wrong gear. We carefully parked and easily backed out and drove up the mountain.“

“Such a wonderful experience from the service to the ambiance and the food was just perfect. We especially love the risotto and meat. Highly recommended.

Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options, we had the vegetarian risotto and it was yum!

Parking: There's parking in the outside of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: We brought our 8 and 11 year old and they both loved the food.“

“We had dinner at this restaurant with our family last night.

This small, cozy restaurant offers a wide choice of dishes ranging from sea to land
The staff were very friendly and welcoming

We all enjoyed our dishes and the desserts were more than excellent.

We liked this dinner so much that we decided to go there again tomorrow evening“

“We had put it on our list of new experiences, the rest of Cairo had good references and we decided to have lunch on Saturday.
The restaurant is welcoming and the decor is pleasant and takes us back to all those Indiana Jones movies, we go in and feel at home.
We ate good Egyptian food with delicious hibiscus tea and delicious coconut baklava…it was wonderful.
The sixth star goes to those who served us with great friendliness, kindness and a joy that shines in our eyes.
Gratitude!!!“

“(March 2022 Review) - Edited August 2024
Very well prepared and tasty dishes:
• Autumn Stew
• António Padeiro-style goat! The rice with giblets that accompanies the lamb is something special...
• Sea bass and shrimp patties with shrimp rice
• Chocolate mousse with salted caramel and nuts... well... try it ?
Very well decorated and welcoming space. No reservations, and luckily, we had the possibility/availability to have lunch here!
I recommend “

“This was a very nice find for lunch and the family that runs the place made me extremely comfortable. Just know that they need cash and typically don’t take credit card fish and pasta bake I had was amazing with a beer for lunch. I could’ve used the siesta after that.“

“Sweet small vegetarian restaurant! Really good! We had a plate with a mix of some main dishes. The soup (no picture) was really good as well! There was free tea all the time and lovely service! We were in a queue in front of the store, so maybe it's a good idea to book a table before visiting the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-15“

“Probably the most perfect meal I can remember - grilled mushrooms, tuna ceviche, Portuguese steak and After 8 mousse were all magnificent. And the service was so good with one small “but” and that’s because the different dishes came a little too quickly.“

“We had an great evening here, the food was just amazing, fish and steak were both great, the athmosphere is very cozy and the servers were very nice. Only downside was a little long waiting time, but the place was full when we arrived, so it was to be expected.“

“Our group was very large and, even so, there were no problems. The service was efficient and the food was good and in large quantities. There is always a bit of noise because it is a very large restaurant, with a lot of people, particularly groups.“

“We had a lovely dinner and lunch in this atmospheric restaurant. The service gentlemen took care of us in an open and friendly way, especially the older and very friendly gentleman who encouraged us to visit this place. The dishes we had the pleasure of trying were really well prepared and, above all, worth recommending, simply delicious. Fulled and satisfied, we recommend this restaurant to everyone. And most importantly, the price is worth attention. I recommend.“

“Beautiful space, super attentive staff, the only thing that left something to be desired was the food, we ordered some mushrooms à bulhão pato, they weren't bad, they just tasted a lot like lemon, for the main course I ordered squid with coriander, it left something to be desired, my fiancée ordered it some shrimps versus and they were good“

“Everything was perfect, great value for money, quality products and fresh extras!
Impeccable hygiene, very friendly and welcoming staff, good atmosphere and delicious desserts, more than sufficient quantities!
Well done O Valeiro, I will come back to you ????“

“Really pleasant experience, I personally had meat but the restaurant is more focused on marine products, the cuttlefish and octopus had extremely positive feedback and I was not disappointed either. The owner is really nice and a pleasure to talk to!
He even offers aguardente and ginija at the end of the meal, quite a recommended family or group experience!“

“Very good food and very well served. Great service, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. Quick service and delivery of orders, even with a full house. Family and relaxed atmosphere. That's why whenever I come to Caldas, it's a restaurant I go to several times.

Dietary restrictions: Given my restrictions, I was always informed about the ingredients and execution of the dishes. They adapted whenever there was something I couldn't eat.“

“The best place without a doubt for any meal of the day, I have been going for several years and they always give the best of their services, they are attentive, friendly, pleasant and wonderful people, as are each and every one of the dishes on the menu. Thank you very much family for that special place.“

“Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan ? Try it! Being vegan myself I know how much work it is to make SUPER YUMMI vegan food ? It was
such a pleasure to have a break at Botellini while doing errands in Caldas - And I was so full I had to take the desert with me for later. Thank you! I will be back!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan. Oil Free. Sugar free.“

“Pratus was amazing, the service and food was incredible and we loved itThis will be a staple for whenever we visit PortugalI can confirm that the steak I ate here (Sirloin) was among the greatest steaks I’ve ever hadThank you :)

Dietary restrictions: Were very helpful and accommodating to my allergies here“

“Great evening in this typical restaurant.
Top staff and excellent value for money: +-25 euros/person for a cocktail, a super fresh fish dish, wine dessert, tea/coffee.
Small downsides for the sorbet which was very sweet and for the long wait between glasses/dishes.“

“We had lunch and dinner in this place and we will repeat it tomorrow for these two days in Nazaré. Quality food and really delicious. Abundant dishes with lots of choice. Very kind staff. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended place!“

“Fine pizza. Have to wait a relatively long time. Just arrived 2 tables before us. Also have a lot of work for takeaway pizzas or pizza deliveries. As a result, slightly longer waiting times. Of course also high season now (July 2023) quality of pizzas was fine, otherwise very friendly waitresses.

Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza available

Kid-friendliness: Kind to our kids“

“Excellent food, from starters to desserts. Everything 5 stars.
The excellent company/friendliness of David, who opened the restaurant for 4 souls who were walking to Fátima and at the end of the meal even took us to the Moinho (also his) where we spent the night.
A GIANT Good Haja.“

“Fresh products, cooked to perfection and affordable. I saw it in a website recommended by locals and it 100% delivered. Recommended for Portuguese food (seafood mostly but they have other options). We paid 50€ for appetizers, 2 mains and a bottle of wine.“

“We arrived just before closing time, I asked if it was still possible to place an order and the friendliness I received was excellent, the barbecue was chosen at random, but it was a great choice, with the food being very good crumbs as well as the grilled food, like the friendliness, always with a smile even at closing time. Thank you very much and much success.“

“We ate Iberian pork and grilled salmon. Both very good. The side dishes and desserts are also very good. The white sangria is superb. Absolutely recommended. Too bad it was closed the next day for dinner (it was Sunday). Very kind staff.
Place off the beaten track and frequented by locals.“

“Good food, good service and good space!
?
Adequate prices.

Small points for improvement:
- they brought the 3 main dishes to the 3 people at different times.
- there could be plates on the tables to eat the starters.“

“Honestly a must in Nazaré. A grilled sea bass (Robalo) and a seafood rice casserole (Arroz marisca): killer! With a little homemade vino verde: What else? Impeccable service.
Even the toilets are impeccable.
Tip: arrive for an aperitif because there are people waiting.“

“Small typical restaurant in Alto da Serra in Rio Maior, consisting of three rooms decorated and decorated with typical objects from the region.Good atmosphere and excellent service from the staff, very friendly and professional.Plate of kebabs and another of cod à lagareiro style with crumbs generously served.As a starter, a board with a good variety of quality sausages, ham and melon.Dessert, a basket with a variety of sweets to choose from.The rooms, although small, are pleasant and user-friendly. In one of the rooms, at lunch, there was live fado.Great. It is recommended. It's worth repeating.“

“It was a very interesting experience. We were passing through the city and a little hungry but we had to make some time. This place was perfect, because the food was great (we discovered the famous farinheira there, which is a sausage here in Portugal that we saw in many places but had never tried), the service was great, very kind and helpful, and the place has a charm. Furthermore, it has a feminist touch that enchanted me!! I loved it and recommend it. Especially if you need a place to take a break between trips.“

“Great place for an easy lunch off the Praça da Fruta in Caldas da Rainha. Amazing Sardines fish was fresh and super delicious Great service people making you feel at home even though they are going crazy servingA must stop in the middle of Caldas“

“I recently had the opportunity to have dinner at Taberninha and I was extremely satisfied with the experience! The restaurant specializes in seafood and every dish I tried was incredibly delicious and fresh.

But what really made the difference was the friendliness of the owner. He is a genuinely welcoming person and dedicated to ensuring every customer has a memorable experience. There was one particular moment during my visit that highlights this perfectly: I wanted a mojito, but was told they were out of some of the necessary ingredients. However, the owner, with all his goodwill and hospitality, went above and beyond to prepare a mojito especially for me. This gesture made all the difference and made the night even more special.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is charming, with decor that makes you feel at the seaside, and the staff are equally friendly and professional. Without a doubt, Taberninha is a place that I recommend with my eyes closed, both for the quality of the seafood and the incredible hospitality of the owner. I will definitely be back!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place, on a couples’ date. As it was a large reservation, everything was well organized, with a Valentine's Day theme, fast and super attentive service, classic Portuguese starters. Next, the main course was two dishes, mixed meat, where everything was perfectly cooked and juicy, with a classic accompaniment, and then came the feijoada complete with a different accompaniment, very light in flavor, I highly recommend it, a taste of home.“

“Thanks to the lady who runs the store today I was able to find where my ancestors lived. This speaks of his quality as a person. My heart bursts with joy and it gives me hope that there are still such good people. Thanks for your kind attention.“

“Came here late night. Did have to wait quite some time for the food (about an hour and a half) but honestly I thought it was worth it. We each got an appetizer, breads, and a main dish. Food was quite good and very rich. Staff were kind and attentive! We even got a taste of the veal tartar which was amazing!

I personally didn’t care for the atmosphere with the blue, but that doesn’t change the food which was extremely good!!“

“We stumbled across this family owned restaurant and enjoyed a “meal of a lifetime.” Mussels, grilled squid and salmon were our main dishes and they were complemented by fresh salads and fish soup. The lemon mousse that finished our meal was pure perfection. When you are in Nazaré, make time to eat a meal at Restaurante Gil Vincente. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Seafood restaurant that surpasses this title. It's a fantastic restaurant, with excellent food, lots of options and variety. The service and wine list are at the same level, the prices are very fair.

Vegetarian options: Only if you are a vegetarian who eats seafood or fish

Dietary restrictions: Adapt what you can

Parking: Around the corner

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Is it possible“

“We arrived as a party of six and order food and drinks , another group arrived and ordered 20mins after us, and you guessed it they got there food and had finished their meal before our starters.
Appalling service and the food wasn’t much better.“

“Surprisingly, the beef steak is amazing. Surprisingly because the place stands out for its incredible views and, for 18 euros, you expect simply passable meat, but the veal was super tender and super tasty. The pork skewer wasn't bad either, but the beef was sublime. In addition, they do not close at midday, which is ideal for Spanish schedules. Congratulations.“
