Alcatruz is a charming, hidden gem of a restaurant, popular among locals and visitors alike. Known for its authentic Portuguese cuisine, standout dishes include octopus rice, baked octopus, and polvo meal à la lagareiro. The restaurant is located in a pretty, quiet little street parallel to the quays, and is a typical Santa Luzia establishment, often frequented by locals. The terrace is well protected from the sun and without too many passages. The cuisine is of high quality, well-prepared, pleasant and unpretentious, with a diversified menu and generous portions that encourage sharing. The owner is happy to share insights about the region in French or English. Customers have praised the excellent caldeirada, grilled sea bream, octopus skewers, and the chocolate mousse, as well as the cozy and non-touristy atmosphere. The restaurant is considered the best in the area for octopus rice and is known for its excellent value.
