“Tasca do Joel, located in the picturesque village of Ericeira, is a true paradise for lovers of traditional Portuguese cuisine. On a recent visit, we had the opportunity to try the cod, which was simply perfect, and the tuna steak, a surprising and delicious choice. Finally, the dessert was the icing on the cake, incredible in flavor and presentation. With welcoming service and a charming atmosphere, this restaurant is a must-see for anyone wanting an unforgettable meal by the sea.“

“We ordered half a chicken and half a secret to share between 2 and what a small amount. The portions are huge and we ordered medium, they come accompanied by homemade fries and rice. Everything was delicious and good price. The chicken is about 9 euros and the secret is 15 or so. The superbock at €1.60. The service is great, fast and attentive. Although the place is not very pretty, it is worth repeating because of the delicious and abundant food, highly recommended.“

“Discovered the best food in Portugal by chance. The reserved host seems a bit grumpy at first, but then warms up. The food is at star level. A must is the dried tuna fish and goose liver. A real wow effect. We'd love to come back. Thanks!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant in Peniche, and I can confidently say it’s the best one we’ve tried among the many we’ve visited. The cuisine is simply genius – every dish we had was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.
The ambiance is wonderful, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The atmosphere is welcoming and sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The waitstaff are amazing – friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring that guests have a fantastic time.
A special mention goes to the owner and head chef, who is not only an outstanding cook but also a warm and gracious host. Her passion for food and hospitality shines through in every aspect of the restaurant.
Given how popular this place is, I highly recommend making a reservation. They are often fully booked, and for good reason. This is a must-visit spot in Peniche, and I can’t wait to return!“

“Great restaurant with amazing food. Fish cooked perfectly, mushroom rice was so delicious, and the service was impressive. Huge plus that outside patio is dog friendly ?
I had never expected that a small town like Peniche would have such a gem.“

“It is an ideal place to enjoy excellent food.
They have typical dishes with a modern touch that make you delight in the flavors of the sea.
We shared some incredible battered sardines, no oil left over, tender and very tasty.
The second courses were a pleasant surprise: battered octopus with a very aromatic vegetable and fish fillet and tuna and shrimp fillet with cabbage, courgette and carrot accompanied by a delicious sauce that tied everything together. To see a semi-dry and slightly fruity wine. Finally for dessert we shared a chocolate mousse with hot water.
The service was attentive to everything we needed, cordial and proactive in recommendations and advice.
Very happy with the discovery and if we return to the area we will repeat!
Much obliged!

Parking: Free parking very close to the restaurant.“

“Super restaurant de poissons.
Le cadre est celui des restaurants traditionnels portugais
Dommage qu'il ne soit pas très ouvert, de ce fait on ne peut pas profiter de l'océan qui est tout près .
Excellente cuisine.“

“We loved it!! Avoiding the typical restaurants full of tourists in the middle of July and tremendous queues, it has a terrace outside and since it was sunny we asked to be able to enter with our dog, inside a great table, and with water for the dog. Good fish, served with its garnish, everything very clean, and the staff excellent. If I come back on vacation here I will come back“

“Good food, very friendly service and quiet atmosphere, it is a little far from the center, but it is worth it.

Parking: If you're lucky, you can park nearby, if not, go down looking for the direction of the lighthouse or port.“

“Very, very good, I will definitely be back, the service is impeccable (the 2 young people) and the food… ? My God, it was exceptional????. It's worth saying, as the British say, that this restaurant is “world class?”. It deserves more recognition and I highly recommend it to all food lovers??“

“Lovely surprise, this place is a gem in the heart of Peniche, very good amount of food, great quality for fair prices. The ovos rotos are a full plate with a delicious sauce and everything else, good to share with people!!
The bifana had a very homemade taste and the grelhada mista was on point <3
I recommend everything I ate there, and the staff were super sweet!“

“Found this little neighborhood cafe along my coastal drive of Peniche. Family run cafe and it was perfect. Nice espresso, chicken sandwiches were perfect. BBQ on the patio where owner is making everything fresh. Next store a little market to pickup some fresh fruit for the road. Everyone at the cafe was so nice and helpful.“

“We stopped at this space, without knowing it, and had a pleasant surprise!We ate the Mega Tosta, it was WONDERFUL. In fact, everything on the menu looks great and the orders that came to the other tables only confirmed this.We were won over by the delicious food but also by the service. We were received by someone who opened the doors of his house to us, welcomed us and provided us with a very pleasant dinner. Always paying attention to ensure that nothing was missing and to confirm that everything was in line with our expectations.We live more than 300km from this place and we just have to thank you for making us feel at home. Thank you, we will definitely be back!“

“It's a very cheerful place.
The girl and boy they serve are polite, beautiful and smiling; in the kitchen there is an environment of harmony (which is reflected in the food).
Unfortunately there are two or three regular customers who provoke customers with extremely rude ways: they scream, spit near you, insult you and smash glasses as you pass.....
To be avoided“

“A small place with the charm of an old Peniche tavern, the service and cuisine have been more than correct.

We (two people) ordered two soups, Pulpo a la Ginja's and three 1900, all very delicious but almost bursting, the correct price €35.

If I return to Peniche, I will definitely repeat.“

“As we do not eat fish every day in Peniche, we throw away a few days of steakhouses. We must admit that these Portuguese are good. Very good chicken and ribs. Potatoes for how bad they tend to be in these places, they can be eaten. Recommended. We picked up to take home. Just in case we reserved before so that they had prepared. The lemon or spicy sauce is very good, but almost no difference once you start eating the pintza and churriscadito that is all“

“(Translated by Google) I really like this restaurant! The food reminds me of Brazil, very tasty. The friendliness of the waiters also makes the place different. Grade 10!(Original)Gosto demais desse restaurante! A comida me faz lembrar a do Brasil, muito saborosa. A simpatia dos empregados de mesa tornam o local diferenciado também. Nota 10!“

“I share an excellent gastronomic experience I had today in Peniche at Tasquinha do Santana.Pleasant space with very friendly service from its owner Luís.From the suggestive menu, after a starter of very good cheese and ham, followed by a “choco à lagareiro” ofimproved preparation, thanks to his wife Maria do Carmo's cooking talent, which received top marks.Good cost-quality ratio.Returning very soon is the biggest compliment I leave.“

“I went in there a little late for lunch with the intention of eating suckling pig. However, it was a Portuguese stew day that I hadn't eaten in a long time, so that was my choice. Good quantity and very tasty, one serving is enough for 2 people. A pleasant regional restaurant, with normal service.“

“We were very well looked after in general and in particular by Joana, who was super kind, attentive and professional!The steak à casa/à the Marina is delicious, as is the sea rice. The sangria is fantastic and at the end you complete a divine meal with the cold condensed milk tart! We recommend!!!“

“Family-run, prices are low compared to their colleagues in the area, the menu is hung outside, those who enter here with the arrogance of demanding a dedicated waiter who is bombarded with useless questions, just to waste their time, and also pour wine and water has the wrong universe! Long live the substance!! Good dishes and the Lady's desserts are SUBLIME!!Those who have VIP claims but have the purchasing power for a "restaurant" should do a good examination of conscience especially when they go to write reviews.Highly recommended for me!!!!“

“Top top top restaurant!!!
We arrived at 10 minus 1 room on a Saturday... We were served quickly and with a smile!! The dishes were excellent!!! Everyone loved it!!! The employee was also great and pleasant!!! I recommend it to anyone!!!“
