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.

We found this whilst walking around upon arrival and decided to come for dinner after looking at the menu. A bijou and cosy little family run restaurant with a superb (and reasonably priced) wine selection. Having been travelling most of the day, we turned up hungry so went for the mixed fish platter for 2. As you can see from the picture, it was truly a mixed fish platter consisting of mussels (in a rich tomato sauce) with veg, 4 huge sardines, tuna, sea bream, dorado and squid. All freshly cooked and seasoned beautifully. Served with potatoes and veg plus we had the bread too for sauce dipping. And it couldn’t have been fresher! For me, the squid was the winner, for my girlfriend for it was the dorado. Or was it the bass? It’s too close to call. You’ll have to come here and try it for yourself to decide what’s best. You won’t be disappointed.

We ordered the steamed seafood platter/bowl for two. It was great; taste, huge portion, and value. We were on a day trip, I wish we could have gone back for dinner. Service was excellent. The overall experience was great - a rainy day, a bit tired and sore from walking, the ocean only blocks away, and dreaming of surfing. If you are in Nazare, you gotta go.

Excellent restaurant. The mariscada was huge and taste-full and the sardines too. The staff was friendly and patient to attend non Portuguese people.

Food is very average and the staff are unfriendly. Has a destinct tourist trap feel about it. The place right opposite the way looked way better.

We discovered this restaurant online during our daily trip to Nazare. We had an amazing lunch—both the squid and clams were delicious, with generous portions. I highly recommend this place.

The restaurant is small, only a few tables on the sidewalk and 4 inside, but the food is superb! The fish stew (pictured) was advertised as being meant for 2 people, but was more than adequate for 3. It was accompanied by three different kinds of bread. Short but well chosen and priced wine list, and very friendly service. HIGHLY recommended!

We had such a great experience. We are two different meat dishes which were cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Enjoyed two lovely pastries and coffees here. We especially liked the Brasileiro and have been trying to hunt down a recipe to recreate this at home, but I can't find it on the internet. If anyone can knows where we can find a recipe for this delicious pastry, please let me know.

Cozy restaurant in a narrow alley in Nazarè Praia with delicious food, seating options inside and outside and very nice staff. We were there for a late lunch and had a fantastic plate of grilled fish. I can totally recommend it and would come back again.

Wow! Huge portions and excellent food! I had the cod and my husband had sardines. We shouldn’t have ordered soup to share because we struggled to finish our meals!
