A cute little family run spot. The food was amazing, and the owners were at the table beside us. (We only learned that after our dinner and we got talking.). We had the grilled sea bass for two. Great prices and good size servings. Highly recommend.

Since we weren't late for dinner, the chef had time to advise us. That was worth it. We have rarely eaten so well and have been here three times.

We had a lovely traditional portuguese dinner at 'O João', everything was cooked to perfection. Waitress was very attentive and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. Our experience was fantastic apart from one or two flies in the restaurant which didn't seem to go away.

Do you want a restaurant to have a meal in Sesimbra? Come to João, I ate a divine prawn soup. A large platter of various high-quality grilled fish also came to the table. To eat well and cheaply, come to João!

High quality fish at affordable prices. Very friendly and attentive staff.Without a doubt a place to return to on your next visit to the beautiful village of Sesimbra
A spectacular experience!Small and picturesque restaurant in the center of the village of Sesimbra.The service was fast and they were very friendly. The food is incredible, very tasty, the fish is of great quality and the portions are very well served. The best shrimp Açorda you can eat! It's difficult to find a better restaurant in the Sesimbra area. To repeat, and I will certainly recommend it.Thanks!

We had to wait a long time because there were a lot of people but it was worth the wait because the food is excellent. All made at the moment and very tasty: Garlic prawns, clams in sauce, cod, monkfish rice, black sword, grilled cuttlefish, chocolate mousse, almond cake, . . Good portions (we had monkfish rice left over and they gave it to us to take away. That night 2 people ate dinner with the leftover) and a more than adequate price. With dessert they invited us to try the figs from the area.They allowed us to park in a space in their garage because it was impossible to park.Very friendly and homelyhighly recommended site

DO NOT GO. We will never return and will not recommend to anyone. You cannot pay by card !!! But how to think about receiving tourists in 2023 without charging cards inside restaurants? Primitives!! They don't like credit cards, so they help tourists (who pay €10 commission to pick up at ATMs: how much commission does the restaurant pay for my payment? Definitely less than €10!), but they love their customers' money. tourists! Shame. The staff doesn't speak English and doesn't speak Spanish and can't manage 30 tables with 4 people in the room. Very difficult to communicate. Ask for a dry wine and they bring you sweet. They don't open the wine for you at the table (so there might be another wine inside). Regular food. Normal cost (30€-40€ each!!).DO NOT GO. We will never go back and will not recommend it to anyone. You cannot pay by card !!!

We had dinner at the O Joāo restaurant, the restaurant is small, no room for three outside, inside it is hot. The simple evening meal without presentation: a sea bream and 2 small potatoes without being peeled, nothing else!!!, typical for tourists.I was very disappointed, expensive meal for what it is €10.Not representative of typical Portuguese restaurants.

(Translated by Google) Traditional and family-run restaurant with fresh fish, very friendly service and super fair prices. The chef grills himself and always gives great tips on the choice of fish. Absolutely recommended for those who like the simple and good!Always good, also in 2023!!(Original)Traditionell und familiär geführtes Restaurant mit frischem Fisch, sehr freundlichem Service und super fairem Preis . Der Chef grillt selbst und gibt immer tolle Tipps bezüglich Fischauswahl. Absolut empfehlenswert, wer das Einfache und Gute mag!Immer wieder gut, auch 2023!!
