14 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Colares

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We were on our honeymoon and the wot hotel doesn't serve dinner, we looked around and Gigi's trailer seemed like a good atmosphere. The food is wonderful. We went for the pizzas and salads and desserts. The natural juices are also very good. The environment is engaging and gives off a good vibe. The staff is very friendly, friendly and attentive. It's a place we really like and we will definitely return. I recommend 5*“

“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!“

“Two diners went for dinner, we ordered grilled octopus and lube and shrimp risotto. Both dishes couldn't be better, exquisite. The treatment was wonderful from everyone, from the reception to the waiters, especially Vlad, an excellent professional. We will repeat without a doubt. Totally recommended.“

“Holla the woodferry, i dont want equally fall with the door in the house, but that food was a sugerlicking! They know how the bunny is running!

It was wonderful! The theredeep is the goneverdeep his death, just keep it on the umbrella!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
