European Restaurants in Colares, PT

“We enjoyed one of the best meals of our time in Portugal at Restaurante Central. Octopus Lagareiro: octopus with potatoes, red onion, and cilantro. It was a dish so simple and perfectly balanced flavor.Octopus Malandrino: also delicious. The owners are very friendly as well. I highly recommend!“

“Lovely restaurant tucked into a beautiful street in Colares, Portugal. Our dining companion had the tasty Shrimp soup and we had the fresh fish entrees. We had a wonderful leisurely lunch with wine and good companions. This spot has a serene vibe with beautiful food and scenery.“

“Food with a high quality product, generous dishes and a very good price, spectacular octopus and incredible prawns with coconut sauce, charming and very attentive staff, all accompanied by wonderful views. A must visit to eat well at a good price.“

“We were on a private tour of Sintra and the region. Our guide, who was very good, and a local native, took us to this restaurant for a latish lunch (late lunches seem to be the norm in Portugal and Spain). The food we had, with suggestions from our guide, was very good. The restaurant is on the coast, and provides a wide selection of fish dishes, all very tempting. We noticed that they had Barnacles on the menu (it was the most expensive dish on the menu!). Our guide told us that this was a Portuguese delicacy, especially when watching football games (soccer to Americans). Imagine replacing Buffalo Chicken Wings with Barnacles! Our waiter gave us a small dish of them, and our guide showed us how to take the shell off, to expose the edible part. They didn't seem to have much taste -- just a briny sea taste. Some people would have said "Eeew!", but we were game to try lots of things on that trip.“

“They offered us a set menu for €22.50 per person. Everything was very good. We started with a fried chorizo ​​and some delicious padrón peppers accompanied by good bread.
Next they brought us two plates with picaña, one for each of us, a cabbage salad, white rice, beans and French fries. On a hot stone we could cook the meat to taste. Everything was tasty and we enjoyed it very much. He gave us the option to repeat whatever we wanted, but we were full.
For dessert, spectacular apple and condensed milk cake and almond cake with vanilla ice cream.
Everything is great and the attention is great! Super recommended!!“

“Sehr tolles Strandrestaurant. Freundliche Bedienung mit großer und leckerer Speisenauswahl. Die Weinkarte ist hervorzuheben. Für ein Strandlokal angenehme Musikbeschallung. Man kann auch vor dem eigentlichen Lokal in angenehmer Atmosphäre an Holzstühlen und -tischen Platz nehmen. Die sanitären Einrichtungen sind sehr gut. Insgesamt empfehlenswert.“

“Great food and even better service. Staff all very attentive and friendly, felt very relaxed even with having my 2 to daughter to entertain as we ate. Food was very good and portions massive, could've shared the fish & rice for our lunch. Would highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Staff all very friendly and accommodating to our young daughter.“

“What a surprise !
Dishes cooked live.
The manager who is also the cook was very welcoming and dedicated.
Four of us ate in the evening.
It's a real atypical restaurant from real Portugal.
My 9 year old daughter loved it.“

“This is the second time we have been to this restaurant because it is in a great location in the Colares area. The lamb is undoubtedly one of the stars of the restaurant and was very good but what really surprised me was the Duck with Orange which was simply divine, very well seasoned and accompanied by delicious rice. I highly recommend it, the starters were also very good and the portions are fair for the prices charged.“

“Great place right on the beach. We enjoyed a delicious meal, we tried the fig carpaccio salad and the burrata salad as starters followed by the grilled octopus and a prawn and rice dish that was fantastic. Followed by desserts. Really enjoyed the place, the view and the atmosphere.. need to reserve a table“

“Great location, has parking, welcoming space, super quiet for those with children. We are always very well served, the quality of the dishes is always standard, I like all the dishes lol
This time I tried the shrimp risotto, it was delicious.
I heard that the brunch is also very good, I'll be back to give feedback when I come to brunch.

Walkability: Accessible. It is 5 min. Walking distance to apples beach

Noteworthy details: There is Parking.“

“Super tasty food, impeccable prices. Such a good place that during the time we spent the night in Almoçageme we went to the same place for lunch and dinner every day. But normally for dinner we did takeaway. We will definitely be back. Good luck to all the staff.

Kid-friendliness: Pleasant atmosphere and area without much traffic.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor“

“This place is wonderful. On holiday in Sintra for a few days. Popped on because we'd missed the shop. Turns out they have amazing food and a huge range of drinks. Food was incredible - recommend the vegetarian burger (mushroom, sun-dried tomatoes, pepper, and a sauce that will do things to you ?) also, bloody lovely staff . Good gin and tonic too ?“

“Petit restaurant de village hyper accueillant, deux prix pour les menus: 9 et 12€ en fonction de la viande que vous souhaitez manger. Tout est très bien grillé au feu de bois, le vin et le 7up ainsi que le dessert sont inclus. Bon accueil, bon rapport qualité prix et une ambiance super sympa, n’hésitez pas à y aller!“

“This is the one and only friendly place I was able to find along this whole stretch of the coast. Very authentic with its tiled walls, Benfica trinkets, and super bock delivery guys hanging around for their morning coffee. Ok, I got a cappuccino when I ordered a meia de leite, but this was probably in an honest attempt to accommodate tourist tastes. (While the rest of town and around it have been ruined by the latter, regarding both infrastructure and friendliness).“

“The restaurant is in a great location, opposite the descent to the beach you can see the sea. The setting is also nice, rustic but comfortable. The food is quite reasonably priced for the area, a lunch for two with starters, main dish, drink (1x each) and coffee approx €40.
They have a vegetarian dish with the option to make it vegan and fresh fish by weight.“

“Very peculiar and original tapas restaurant to be advised and surprised. You have to keep an open mind to try whatever you want to wear.
Waitress with a lot of character but first class, because then she informs you, advises you and the place becomes a discovery.
Important: Does not support cards
If I return to this area, I will definitely repeat.“

“I am stirred to tears! Here goes off the post! On my day in your house yesterday, i was fall drunk! Goes not gives no! I want trombone something out: „Where a liver been so far, is today a minibar!“ I am a washreal German, and fit how a sneaker, and a can say „Not bad mister Woodpicker! Peace, Joy, Eggcake!“

“The starters are ok, and we waiting long time for main course. However it is so worth to wait, my son and me shared lobster rice, huge pot, and we loved it. There is really alot for two of us. I think enough for three. My husband keep asking me try his prawns, so delicious that has to share. My daughter had seabass, apart of the bons she is not used to handle. She loved it. We also had wine and beer, desserts.“

“We arrived just before sunset and there was a lovely view. The food was very tasty and large portions that we could barely finish. The staff explained at length, translated what was needed and was very attentive to our requests. recommended!“

“A pleasant surprise to be able to eat a super well-made pizza while listening to the birds and smelling the sea! Super personalized service with a smile and attention! Rare these days, as I'm a smoker I asked if I could be on the terrace and the employee promptly opened the door, took the time to clean the table and was always friendly. Congratulations! One day remembering my father who loved fishing at Bico da Messe and I saw the advertisement for the restaurant I decided to go in and thought of a closed, dark space, nothing like that! Hugs to the entire team and thank you.“

“My family and I had an amazing lunch here during our tour of Sintra and Cascais with our tour guide. We are so thankful he introduced us to this place! The fish was so fresh and the view of Praia Grande was stunning. The staff was so attentive and such a pleasure to talk to. It was definitely the best meal we had during our trip to Portugal. We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: They have a wonderful ice cream/gelato bar that my son absolutely loved. He also enjoyed being able to pick out the fish from the tank that we had for our meal.“
