“Exceptionally good restaurant! Delicious food, large portions, good prices, electronic menus in several languages ​​on tablets and very skilled waiters who know when to serve, when to clear up, etc., which is unfortunately rare these days. I would highly recommend!“

“We ate there this Easter, we called in the morning to make a reservation, we arrived and they were full, we still had to wait 30 minutes. Despite this, when they served us the food was 10 out of 10, in quantities and price. The staff is very friendly and the taste of the food is one of the best in Portugal, nothing to envy of the restaurants that are closer to the tourist area. The only bad thing is that detail, that despite having a reservation they made us wait 30 minutes“

The restaurant is small and tight, decorated with tiles and wood, located between the tourism office and San Martin Church. The seafood rice was good, filling and hearty, though I would recommend this dish only for fans of seafood.“

“I went to this restaurant with my family and we had a magical time in front of the sea with fresh, high quality and very well cooked products. The service and the really exceptional welcome, super friendly, we have excellent memories. I can't wait to come back already next year.“

“I would like to start with wonderful olive oil. The turbot fish was amazing, it came in perfect shape, the outer parts were juicy and jelly. Even though the mussels were small inside, they were very delicious. Small shrimps with garlic were delicious. Baby potatoes and boiled vegetables along with fish were the color of the meal. Served with tempura green beans, tartar sauce and basil sauce. It was the best I've ever eaten. We chose 2023 Soito white wine to accompany it.“

“Awesome lunch here. We got the red snapper which was great, filleted in front of us and came with fries. Staff were friendly and probably a fair price. Would recommend here for sure and to make sure to check reviews before eating in cascais as we nearly missed this place!“

“Location is worth it for the view of the beach. Very friendly service. Reasonable food. Very tight spaces. The restaurant is on top of the wall so there isn't much space. Not recommended on a hot day. It's a good restaurant to leave the beach, have lunch and return.“

“Restaurant with an excellent geographical position on the sea, impeccable table service, with great friendliness, attention and care.Menu mainly consists of fish and seafood, with meat options also available.Everything was served with great quality and lots of flavor.When it comes to desserts, it is essential not to save room for them, because everything available is divine.Without a doubt a place of excellence and may it continue to be so, I strongly advise you to enjoy a meal for lunch or dinner with a group, family because the space has the answer.“

“Fresh bread, relaxing and casual atmosphere, and my moules were so good! My boyfriend ordered meat and was not disappointed either. Favorite place in Cascais. I will definitely return next time I’m here.Ps. If I could wish for one thing, that would be sweet potato fries!“

“Not your bog standard sushi place. If you are looking for your food court experience, this is not the place. This is a true tasting experience rich in flavour, style and knowledge, if you are wanting.We came as guests of some friends and let them do the ordering… some things were on the menu and some things were little gifts that came out of the kitchen on the recommendation of the owners. There’s always something off the menu just remember to ask!The whitefish sashimi, ceviche, the house edemame were all stunning. The best though was the toro. If you like Wagyu then this is an absolute must.The owners are always around to help share their knowledge of sushi, the ceremony and the way to eat (spoiler alert - it’s often with your hands).I’ve been in Lisbon for almost 2 years and this will be one of my top 3 food experiences to date.A true culinary journey, and an absolute delight. It’s a small boutique restaurant with a lot of soul.“

“It was delicious - fresh oysters, amazing fried shrimp and tuna. My friend also tried the crab hot dog and said it was also great.Very tasty bread and butter for a snack - the only thing I wish was more bread per serving.We were with a baby and a large stroller, the staff helped us get comfortable (they refused to seat us in one of the neighboring places).We will happily return when we are in Cascais ❤️“

“A quaint restaurant with inside and outside tables that was affordable and convenient to the main area of Caiscais central. I had the seafood rice which I had been told to find before I left Lisbon and this was one of the few places I found for a reasonable price. The shrimps were huge and generous and the fish pieces were nice. My friend had a mushroom chicken and rice/potatoes. The green wine on tap was also tasty. Obrigada.“

“An incredible find for those seeking authentic, delicious Portuguese seafood dishes. Alex, our server was outstanding and attentive. The Lemon mousse was a perfect follow-up to the pan fried grouper and paella. An excellent choice for those seeking a break from tourist traps!“

“Super super love it!! MUST GO! We ordered 5 dishes, 2 kinds of wines, three desserts, and we love all of them and finished all of them. The staff is very nice as well as the environment. If this restaurant is near my hotel, i will definitely go to it every day!!!!“

“We stayed at the campsite for one night and came across this delightful white and blue restaurant in the streets of Areia. A superb fresh fish counter, excellent food, delicious local wine, impeccable and friendly service. A beautiful evening.“

“Excellent place to have lunch next to the beach! Generous doses of homemade and very tasty food made with a lot of passion! The fried cuttlefish is divine! And the cuttlefish feijoada is one of the best I’ve ever eaten! The owner, Mr Daniel, is exceptionally attentive and friendly! A place to definitely visit again!“

“It was our first visit, and it wasn't impressive... we ordered seafood rice, which actually wasn't bad, but it fell far short of expectations. It was a very basic rice clearly made with a previously prepared broth, and we expected a more "clean" rice made from prepared broths and made only from scratch with more natural flavors. However, it is well filled with seafood, but without clams or other types of bivalves, an unusual factor in a seafood rice dish. For starters, we were presented with a seafood pâté and some thin toast with butter, both delicious. The desserts all looked good, we ordered "French" pudding which turned out to be basic, but appetizing. The service was impeccable, however the head waiter always seemed to have a somewhat sullen attitude and was even a little rushed in clearing the tables.We will return to try other dishes, hoping that they exceed expectations, doing justice to the fame and renown of the house.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and a menu with good vegetarian options (something rare in seaside fish restaurants in Portugal). We will be back many times!Vegetarian options: There are three vegetarian options on the menu, which is something very rare in a fish restaurant in Portugal. We ordered 2 and they were both great!“

“Great food. It took some time because the light failed a few times, which is understandable. Excellent wine. We will repeat shortly.Parking: Very easy parking inside Vila Bicuda, right next to the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor, you can access the entire restaurant, there are no steps“

“It has the best Moscow Mule I've ever had... the preparation of the most different dishes I've tried (and there have been many) is truly impeccable, the employees are of the highest quality and have unsurpassed treatment and the entire decor is extremely tasteful. .“

“The restaurant is situated by the sea - we went twice running. First night we had the padrone peppers and the grilled octopus. Second time we have the padrone peppers again (delicious!) sea-bass and grilled cod. All was delicious and service was excellent - highly recommend“

“This is really a hidden gem, not easy to get there, but it was completely booked, and one can understand why! The place has outstanding seafood, totally fresh and amazing wine to pair the food with. For starters we had some really nice cheese from Alentejo with really good bread; and we ordered some clams as well. The clams were fresh and amazingly cooked. For the main course we had grilled sea bream that was cooked to perfection, with sauteed vegetables. We ended on an amazing note with a delicious lemon meringue pie with a delicious tawny Port. The service was excellent, the only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is because the dishes took too long to come to the table. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars. It is definitely worth going there.“

“I came for lunch here several months ago, and we had a great time, in an idyllic setting facing the sea. We returned this 24/3; I had fish soup and sole fillets. We had a great time.But a few hours after the meal, I suffered from violent vomiting and fever, characteristic of food poisoning, which lasted more than 24 hours.I don't like to leave this kind of review, especially when the food is good, the service attentive and the sea view just perfect... but given what happened to me, I feel the duty to report it.“

“Reviewed June 7, 2023 via mobileYum!Fish is my favorite, I have fish almost every day at home in Canada. It’s easy for me to tell if a fish is fresh or not. Fresh fish needs a good chef to bring out its flavor, like developing a talent. The chef didn’t just grilled the sea beam to perfection l, the veggies and rice too. Everything was piping hot.I highly recommend it. I had several meals there during my two weeks stay in June this year. I will be back next June! Can't wait to see those cheerful friendly faces and eat their tasty seafood again!“

“Our tour group Collette brought us to this quaint little restaurant. We were so warmly accommodated. I felt welcomed and loved. The sour dough bread was Devine. Soup is highly recommended in Portugal. We had a cream carrot and green bean soup. Amazing! My main course was a white fish with a gravy sauce of onion and garlic with a side of baked potato wedges. This is beyond a 5*. Thank you“

“Stunning. I missed a photo of the clams, but they were delicious. The red prawns were absolutely stunning and the fish we had (sea bass) was soft and tender. They have a house chili oil which isn’t very spicy so if you need some kick, bring some from home. Service was faultless.We come often with visitors and for special occasions and have never left disappointed.“

“A really very welcoming place, with a fantastic view and wonderful food.Very attentive in their service and always concerned about the customer.The Algarve-style Lulinhas are super tender and tasty, and the rice with breaded prawns is very well served and excellent.A place to return!“

“The food was really good and the waiter was nice. At first glance from the beach side, it seemed like a very simple snacking place, so we initially thought of just having drinks, but then we later decided to order food, and their Bacalhau a bras was really good. Well, all the items we had ordered were good, so I'd definitely recommend this place.“

“Came here and had a leisurely lunch. The staff were brilliant and very accommodating with me needing to move inside at the last minute to take a work call, the food was good, particularly the chocolate fondant dessert. Lovely place to relax looking over Carcavelos Beach.“

“A reserved, silent and romantic place, at affordable prices and without neglecting a certain class that gives it a casual chic atmosphere.Great service and tasty food, with fresh, carefully prepared products and classic desserts but with a special touch, only achievable when made from scratch in the establishment itself.We loved it.“

“It was a special day for my mother, so we could only have chosen Pastorinha, friendly staff, extremely professional and uniquely delicate. The food was excellent, the grilled fish was wonderful. The starters were superb, the desserts were a disaster... in short... it would be better to ruin it. The Head of the room is very attentive to the staff. Coming back.“

“OMG, it was like visiting my grandma’s house! It was a miserable rainy late November day and the special was like a pot roast. Smoked sausage, blood sausage, pork loin, fat bacon, and vegetables in broth. Outstanding. They treated us like family. One of the homiest meals I’ve have in forever. Obrigado!“

“Simply wonderful food!!! Attentive, dedicated, professional and friendly staff! I went for the first time last week and Furnas, for me it was voted the best restaurant I've ever been to, is on my list of favorites! Definitely repeating!!“

“Delicious meal, our only regret was going all out and getting the seafood platter when we should have asked for recommendations from the waiting staff. But our meal was absolutely delicious from start to finish. Only feedback would have been too much salt on the octopus starter.Definitely worth the trip and there are some lovely beaches nearby so we went and paddled before our meal.“

“(Translated by Google) They have snails like I haven't eaten in a long time! Very well seasoned, congratulations!Next time I'll try the grilled snails.The only downside is the noise, which in turn is also typical of these popular snack bars.(Original)Têm caracóis como nao comia há muito tempo! Muito bem temperados, parabéns!Para a próxima vou experimentar as caracoletas grelhadas.O único senão é o barulho, que por sua vez também é típico destas casas de petiscos bastante frequentadas.“

“While visiting Cascais, I came to have lunch at the Vela Azul Restaurant, a small, family-run space where traditional Portuguese food, especially fish, is the house specialty. The starter came with Bread, Toast, Butter and a Fresh Cheese. The main course consisted of tasty Grouper Fillets accompanied by naughty Tomato Rice and perfectly well prepared, full of aroma and flavor. I also ordered a Mixed Salad which was generous and well seasoned. I accompanied the meal with House White Wine and finished with a homemade Queijada. Meal around €26 per person. I recommend!“

“A tremendous luck to have eaten at this restaurant near Cabo da Roca and Ursa beach. The service was wonderful, maximum kindness and attention, very cozy place. Very delicious and well-prepared fish, exquisite cod dish, dense and tasty fish soup. Cataplana the same. Total success“

“Yesterday 13042024 we chose this restaurant for lunch with a group of friends, in the end everyone's opinion was: Amazing food not only in terms of preparation but also in quantity. Everyone's decision, I will return. André, whoever is in charge of this little wonder, continues to treat people well, don't worry, he will always come back. Thank you very much! ?“

“A delicious seafood that is not expensive for what it serves. Excellent service, attentive and friendly. The menu of the day is also very good and more economical.Vegetarian options: There was a vegetarian option on the menuWheelchair accessibility: It has an access ramp.“

“I am very grateful for the attention, we couldn't find where to have dinner, it was close to closing, and they still served us. The super friendly waitress, Colombian, I'm sorry I don't remember her name but I want to thank her. We were 4 people, the food was great, the fish was super good, I loved the post, the atmosphere was pleasant. I recommend this place 100%.“

“I visited the space for an event, but I found that in addition to events, it has a daily catering service, except on Tuesdays, which serves all day.The space is spectacular and the staff is extremely friendly.The prices are extremely attractive.I and the people who accompanied me simply loved it.“

“GREAT! A large and pleasant space with an acceptable noise level.I went to a group lunch. We ordered several starters (clams, alheira...), and we ordered several main dishes (feijoada, fried hake, cuttlefish, bitoque...) and everything was delicious, as were the desserts.The atmosphere was very pleasant although it was busy at lunchtime on a working day.Parking: Residential area. It may be more difficult to find parking.“

“We booked here for a work lunch meal and there was 18 of us. They put all the starters on the table when we sat down which was some traditional Portuguese food and it was lovely, infact too lovely as I stuffed myself before my main arrived. They had a great menu selection and I had the fish. They didn’t have what I wanted so the waiter recommended a different fish dish and I’m glad he did, it was amazing. Really fresh and tasty. They have a display of fresh fish which you can choose from which makes it easier. A great restaurant choice if you are in Lagos Park for work.“

“Noisy, long wait for boarding even with a reserve. They asked for mussels, and in response they heard: “bacteria have been found in our mussels that cause poisoning, but if you want, I will bring them to you.” So many questions, so few answers...“
