50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Setubal

“A breath of fresh air in Setubal's gastronomy. Local ingredients and a mature and correct philosophy deserve all the merit they have! Super friendly and welcoming service, there are not many places these days that welcome us the way I was welcomed. Congratulations to the whole team, see you soon“

“Lovely seafood restaurant with terras! Food was really good, especially recommend the fried cuttlefish, mussels and shrimps. Fast & friendly service as well. Nice terras but spacious indoor seating as well with natural lightning. Happy!“

“One of the best restaurants in Setúbal.

The bosses and employees are very friendly and very professional, and the food is excellent.
Thank you for this discovery.

I advise with your eyes closed!“

“A highly recommended place, both the owner and the waiters are excellent, the owner takes the time to receive and welcome you. Excellent food, perfect size and quality price, you couldn't ask for more. The place is very comfortable and well-kept, and it is super quiet and relaxed. A place that we will undoubtedly return to.“

“Phenomenal experience in a secluded, charming place with familiar treatment that also appears in the flavors of its cuisine.
We return to a spectacular lasagna and some truffled tortellini with an intense flavor, very delicious.
Very nice and attentive service.“

“A big favorite!!! ❤️ The server gave us excellent recommendations for lunch. Here they are: salmon ceviche, Portuguese sausages in “Alheira” filo pastry, Goat cheese and au gratin potatoes. A true delight !!!

Additionally, the terrace was charming. We shared a large space occupied by the terraces of other restaurants. Very nice atmosphere!!

I highly recommend U Tópico! ?“

“It is possibly our favorite restaurant in Setúbal and where they have the best sardines and charcoal-grilled fish imaginable. If we also add the family atmosphere, the charm of everyone who serves you there and a great variety of desserts, all of them homemade, I think you couldn't ask for more.
In short: a must-see if you pass through Setúbal or seen in another way, a good reason to visit this beautiful Portuguese city if it was not in your plans.“

“First visit to Setúbal and I can guarantee that the gastronomic experience was divine.
Dishes very well served for price/quality.
We recommend that you make your reservation and if there are only 2 people you may be lucky enough to show up and the manager will certainly give you a "handy" and you will be received by her with great friendliness and hospitality.
As for the rest of the service, it's a bit peculiar, but each one has its own way.
Very rich and tasty food. I'll leave a photo so you can salivate.
Ps: Don't forget to order the house wine!
Thank you Antóniu's!“

“Friendly place, seafood-based food, good preparation of dishes, place with good atmosphere, good value for money.

Parking: There is free parking on the street without difficulty finding a space.

Kid-friendliness: Good atmosphere for family and children

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it has good accessibility for people with reduced mobility.“

“A space that has good food and a varied selection of wines.
Despite arriving almost an hour before closing, we were attended to (and well).
Variety of choice in snacks and dishes. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor. Freshly burnt cream milk.
At the end, a well-prepared cocktail.“

“Fresh and delicious restaurant! Ana was fantastic at identifying the gluten free options and the sangria was perfect for a warm evening. Can't recommend the sea bass, choco frito or sea brean enough.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Typical Portuguese food, grilled fish and crab pasta is a strong dish at this restaurant. For me, it doesn't make sense to eat crab with the shell, inside a dough. Suggestion: it would be much more, customer, if there was crab pasta/rice WITHOUT shells, even if you pay a little more...“

“Not your typical Rodizio restaurant but just that made it really great for us. Nice and simple, but savoury food.. Many options for “espetinhos”. The owner doesn’t speak anything but portuguese but made an effort to understand us and be understood, such a nice lady! Only downside for us was the noisy and smelly street right next to it. Still, Definitely recommend!“

“One of the restaurants with the best view of Setúbal. The fish and meat are very good and can be shared. It gives the impression that they want to be gourmet but the small details leave something to be desired, such as serving pre-made sauces (mayonnaise).“

“Excellent!
I was recommended to eat at this restaurant if I ever went to Setúbal and I was very satisfied.

A well-presented space, with quality products and proven freshness.
Adding to the kindness and professionalism of Paulo and the rest of the team who served us, our first visit to this house was an experience to be repeated.
Thank you very much, and see you soon ?“

“We ate one day while passing through Setúbal, entrecôte and hamburger, the entrecôte was good, they asked the point of the meat and it was on point (it didn't make it to the photo ?). The burger was not bad but I think it would be better with another type of bread. The service was fast and all the waiters were very friendly, they immediately gave Rocky water without even asking for it. The place overlooks a square, a very quiet place.“

“Great experience: very well decorated place, very friendly service and especially the dishes, very well prepared and with lots of flavor.
A place to visit urgently for those who like good snacks, in a very pleasant and well located place.“

“Very nice restaurant, modern and original decor, located near the port. Modern and pleasant music. Correct welcome. Fast service. Healthy food with fresh juice. Very good desserts hidden behind the counter sign. I recommend if you want to eat light and healthy.“

“I was having dinner with a group of friends and we were very satisfied. I ordered a mixed meat dish for the price of €19 and it came with loose rice, black beans, farofa, and homemade fries, it was very good. I ordered a glass of red wine and it was great too! (Enough for 2 people who don't eat much!) We ate on the terrace and the atmosphere was very good, with medium light and very beautiful decor.
We paid €30 each but it was with a drink as a starter and sparkling wine. We didn't wait long for the dish. I will come back, thank you very much for your service!“

“Very pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. We went for dinner on Saturday and it was a little late and the service took a while but it was worth it. Good food, well prepared and in more than enough quantity. I highlight the homemade molotof which was superb. A well decorated and aesthetically very pleasant and interesting space. They have a very complete wine cellar with a very original design and construction.
Will we be back?
Yes of course!“

“I was surprised by the quality and quantity of food and the price. Very good atmosphere and very good mood. We started with the starters, mackerel with garlic and olive oil, olives. We ordered a portion of horse mackerel and one of sardines, migas, salad and baked potatoes. I thought I would pay around €80, to my surprise it was almost half of that... A place where I will definitely return, it's a shame to live far away...“

“The food was super tasty and the prices were ok too! Approximately 10-15€ per person for food
We had dourada and bife ao alho!

Parking: There are a lot of parking spaces on the street, but they were all full. But you could still find something a little further

Wheelchair accessibility: You can sit here in a wheelchair. The outside tables are on the "sidewalk"“

“It's always with great pleasure that I come to Setúbal...beautiful city with great restaurants serving good fish and seafood, but today was fried cuttlefish day and I'm glad it was, I recommend it despite the waiting time, which is long and becomes unpleasant .“

“A very simple place to eat as well and as cheaply as you want. It had already caught my attention as it was always full at lunch time.

The ideal would be to go at noon or 12:30 pm at the latest, where you will have to wait around 15 or 20 minutes for a table. As there is little staff but many tables, this wait will always be normal.

We ordered Choco Frito and Febras, and with the menu included, it's easily one of the best value for money we've ever been to. Being a typical "tasca", the service will always be informal but always friendly and welcoming. It was worth noting the hard work of the staff, who never stopped and were always dedicated.

Located opposite the Praça do Quebedo train station and not open for dinner. The ideal would be to take transport and enjoy lunch while strolling through the beautiful historic downtown to Luísa Todi. Recommended!

Parking: On the parallel streets there are several places to park, but it is always paid.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a terrace on the sidewalk and the interior rooms have no steps.“

“Very good and fresh seafood and fishes!I love the tuna belly! Didn’t have such good quality anywhere in Portugal yet but here. U can also request to cook according to your liking so no overcooking!Small cuttlefish in the ink, and fish roe were also grilled to its perfection!Dessert are all home made and very special. We had the fig in egg cake and aqua dent on top of sweet potato pudding.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restaurante Taberna do Largo in Setúbal, and it was an experience to remember. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish bursting with authentic Portuguese flavors that transported me straight to the heart of Portugal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal.

The service was excellent, with attentive staff who made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. To top it all off, the desserts were absolutely delightful, offering the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Portuguese cuisine in a lovely setting.“

“Fried choco and swordfish to share between two, delicious and enough food. For dessert, a cheesecake and a chocolate mousse with a touch of coffee, which seem homemade (we don't know). All accompanied by a white wine from Setúbal.
We had dinner on the terrace with our dog, welcomed by workers and diners. Good background music. It has been a very good experience.“

“It is an Italian gem you find in setubal and it is really worth it.
The wood stone pizzas are really lip smacking, pasta is very very authentic and kissed to the desert especially the chocolate mousse.
Sangria was out of the world and you definitely do not want to miss it.
Cheers to the staff as they are so warm and attentive throughout, service was super quick.
Loved it absolutely ?“

“Restaurante with fresh fish and meat. Serve a menu with contains olives, bread,drink, desert coffee, and the main meal.
Friendly staff.
Private parking place. Very clean toilets area.
A shame the tables are very small for two persons.“

“I've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and it's as if I live there. I am always well received by everyone, but especially by Mr. Ze. Daquepes is a place that I always recommend, not only for the service, but for the freshness of the food.“

“Great. It’s a lovely place, situated just at the big market hall — they serve lovely food, all vegan. It’s made with a lot of love, and you’ll likely not be able to spot the difference between regular food and vegan, it’s that well made. We only tried small things but even those were great. And, the staff is super friendly, they carry a huge smile and are happy to serve you.“

“If the first time I came here for lunch, several months ago, everything went well, today everything was the opposite.

We arrived around noon and, as I couldn't find parking, I left my partner on the terrace so as not to run the risk of not having a table when I managed to park.

After about half an hour, and after having even given her 2 menus for the day, when I arrive at the table the waitress says that we have to leave because we didn't have a reservation, despite having had about 30 minutes to let us know and, I repeat, then of having left 2 menus on the table.

Given this type of operation, and the employee's attitude, we will never come here again.

May it benefit them.“

“We had a quick lunch and had the vegetable soup. It was tasty and more than enough. We also ate the bread with cheese that was proposed, also really good. The waiters were nice and attentive. What attracted to this place was the fact that many locals were having lunch there too, it was definitively a good sign. From what we could see, portions of other meals were more than sufficient. And the best is the price, the bill was more than affordable.“

“Husband and wife run the place, very friendly. Our apartment was right next door and we stopped there often. They offer light snacks like sandwiches, but also have fish & meat of the day updated daily. We enjoyed various meals like fresh tuna, chicken, soups, etc. Very casual atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, stay as long as you like. Closed on Sundays.“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant place and very good kitchen service, accompanied by a very professional table service and extreme friendliness.Advisable(Original)Lugar aprazível e de muito bom serviço de cozinha, acompanhado de um serviço de mesa muito profissional e de uma simpatia extrema.Aconselhável“

“We came today for a birthday dinner and we had a lovely time. We ordered the monkfish cataplana (cataplana de tamboril em português) and some other dishes and it was out of this world. It is also true that it's been a while since i had a cataplana, but being a fan of this kind of cooking i definitely recommend. The staff was very friendly, Chef came to greet (thank you, Chef) and we shall return. 5 people = 140€“

“This is an excellent restaurant ! You could feel the passion in every dish. We were six last night and each of us enjoyed every moment in this restaurant. The atmosphere is very charming and cozy. The wine are excellent, the staff is very kind, friendly and professional. I recommend this restaurant.“

“One of the waitresses (older lady) has arrogance and arrogance that are not compatible with serving the public!! I've been going to Florida for many years (about 20 years) and I've never had an employee like that... Silvino and his wife don't deserve it!“

“We ate very well here. Great ambience in a local restaurant. No tourists. From fish to meat, everything was very good and the price-performance ratio was right.
A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine.“

“Super cozy, clean and very nice place. The employees are impeccable and are always ready to serve you well.The pizza is wonderful and I highly recommend it. You will only gain from your visit to this space.Special thanks to Bruno. Always very helpful and friendly.Thank you and wait for me more often.“

“I went for lunch one day and ate the best fried cuttlefish I've ever had, super tasty food with pleasant service despite there being a lot of people, the atmosphere is what you'd expect from a daily restaurant, but it was still very good“

“Such a great find. We just arrived in Setúbal and were craving Italian. Pizzeria Anexo did not disappoint. The food was delicious. I ordered the calzone with extra Bolognese sauce and my daughter ordered the lasagna. Both were delicious. Enjoyed a glass of wine and olives our meal followed up with dessert. The bill was very reasonable. Highly recommended.“

“We're renting a place across the street from this restaurant and noticed it when checking in. We don't speak Portuguese but that didn't really matter. This is the real deal. It's great value and great seafood. There's a variety of fresh fish to choose from. And the mousse was out of this world. Great value for a set meal with fish, salad, bread, olives, wine, dessert, and espresso for about $12. Hope you're hungry.“

“I really like having lunch or dinner at the tavern on the corner, the food is very good and well served, the staff are great and the owners of the tavern are a very friendly and attentive couple, the food is 5 stars, I love going with my family at the tavern on the corner. I congratulate you on your service and friendliness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️“

“Husband and wife run the place, very friendly. Our apartment was right next door and we stopped there often. They offer light snacks like sandwiches, but also have fish & meat of the day updated daily. We enjoyed various meals like fresh tuna, chicken, soups, etc. Very casual atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, stay as long as you like. Closed on Sundays.“

“Simple, beautifully cooked local seafood and meats but the seafood was amazing.. you can choose your own farmed or wild caught fish.. we chose the clams and sea bass farmed - AMAZING tastes and I can’t recommend enough. Staff were great, spoke English as my Portuguese is bad. Helpful with the menu and food choices. Even weighed the wild fish to get the correct price.. An extensive menu. This is a local restaurant on the street near a busy road so great for people watching.“

“We recently cycled from Lisbon to the Algarve and the company we cycled with (Cycling Rentals - century cycles) recommended this as a lunch stop. They recommended the duck rice which is a speciality. As we were cycling 70km we didn’t go mad so we had the quarter duck and rice for 1 but shared it. There was plenty of food for the two of us! The rice was so unusual, it was baked and had a crust on top. The whole thing was delicious! The place was packed and it was only a Monday!“

“One of the best restaurants in Setúbal. Excellent price/quality ratio.
Very friendly staff, very good preparation and presentation of the products. Delicious dishes and very fresh fish.
It has 2 very airy rooms and 1 terrace.
Complete menus with: bread, olives, fish soup, salad, drink, dessert and coffee.
The cuttlefish roe was a must and the roast cod fillet was quite generous and delicious.
To be repeated soon.“

“I've been a regular costumer of this coffee shop since the time of the previous owners. It's a cozy, clean and friendly. Good esplanade with soft and fresh shadows from the trees around. Good parking conditions, air conditioner inside. Restrooms modest but always clean. The owners are the only employees and very sympathetic and friendly they are. Free WiFi, the principal newspapers of the day are available to read in place. Unfortunately there are not a great variety of products due to type of costumers almost exclusively the same people from the same neighbourhood...everyday 7/7 days of the week. TV always on, the coffee quality above average.“

“The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the prices are slightly below average. I've been here many times and everything was fine, I also know a lot of Portuguese who love this cafe. Aunt Vika, Uncle Tolik and all the staff are top“
