I’ve been to this restaurant twice since they opened about a month ago and I can honestly say it’s one of the best restaurants in Cascais. Not only for the amazing food and delicious cocktails but the staff are super friendly and attentive. 10/10 would absolutely recommend 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a Peruvian/Asian restaurant just outside of the historic centre on a little, hidden square which you can enter from different ways. Parking area is closeby but you can also park at Cascais trainstation or the parking garage in the historic centre. When entering the restaurant, the first thing you see is the open kitchen, the friendly owners and a couple of big, calm, cute looking and well trained twin dogs. Which by the way, you do not smell at all in the restaurant. The owner told us they had only started one month ago! The cook is Asian who had a restaurant in Peru, hence the mix here. We started with the lovely and rich flavoured ham croquetes. 5 pcs. for 7 euros, handmade and delicious. And the fresh springrolls in rice paper, a cold starter with veggies, fruit and shrimps in them, very tasty, 5 pcs. for 9 euros. Very special! Then we had the tenderloin out of the wok with onions and tomatoes, rice and fries. I had the tenderloin with portsauce and asperagus, delicious! As there is no side dish with this meat included I ordered extra fries. For desert we had the fresh limepie. The english version of the menu is to be found on The Fork site and will be printed soon. The service is quick, friendly and good. There are 2 spaces to sit on each side of the kitchen. We ate for around 70 euros for the 2 of us, maybe a bit expensive but it is worth the flavours and experience!! Good luck to the owners with this new restaurant!

An absolute must for any visit to Cascais. We came across this amazing resturant by accident, glanced the great decor through the window and booked a table. Andre was welcoming from the moment we booked. We ordered the thai fish of the day and salad. There was a confusion over our order but it was resolved quickly and the swift friendly service continued as I was encouraged to taste several wines.... I cannot recommend this place enough, great tasting food, fabulous buzzing atmosphere and amazing service......tonight we dined with the beautiful people, surrounded by perfect food and wine. Thank you Andre 🍷🍷🍷😉

Amazing place and experience! From the incredible dishes and flavors, to the great service the staff and Hosts offer, is a great place to have dinner and have a few drinks afterwards. My Advice is, go there and have a great evening!

Excellent food. Excellent cocktails. Very good experience. We had the ceviche, the salmon bao, the 'croquetes' and the 'osso buco'. It was all very, very good.

Really good food. Good drinks and not expensive amazing service staff was really nice. the only reason I don't give 5 is because portions were small. But definitely coming back

Fantastic! Great vibe, great food and awesome service! Their cider is a must have! Highly recommend this hidden gem of a place!

Great food. Nice people and decor

I was excited to try but I’m afraid the food, despite the cool decor and good vibe, was poor. The menu is a mix of Peruvian, Asian and Portuguese flavours but doesn’t do any of them that well. Service was friendly but slow.

The food at El Clandestino was a delightful fusion of flavours, showcasing the rich and diverse Peruvian cuisine. The “Croquetes de Presunto Maturado” were a delightful start to the meal, featuring crispy and savoury bites of cured ham croquettes that left us wanting more. The “Ceviche” was fresh and tangy, while the causa offered a creamy and satisfying texture. The “Bao de Osso Buco” was a standout dish, with tender braised beef shank encased in fluffy bao buns, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavours. As for the service, the staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience enjoyable. Overall, El Clandestino provided an excellent taste of Peruvian delights in the heart of Cascais. But I must admit, the prices were indeed on the higher side, and I couldn't help but wonder if the quantity of food would justify the cost. But once the dishes started arriving, all my worries vanished. While the portions might not have been as large as I initially hoped, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Each dish was a masterpiece in itself, and the flavours were so rich and satisfying that I found myself savouring every single bite.

Amazing food! We had fish specialties, and every dish was wonderfully presented, perfectly cooked, great vegetable pairing, with amazing sauces. Superior quality food and drinks for good price.

It used to be a Mexican place, but now it's a Peruvian spot with tasty ceviche and great lime pie. They also have lots of tequila and margaritas to choose from.

We tried Bao: Super tender dough with bright tasty filling. Recommend. From 18:00 to 20:00 is happy hour and good opportunity to have something new in your food)

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and drinks at El Clandestino! We enjoyed the Peruvian fusion dishes. The staff are friendly and attentive. Cascais can be a little on the traditional side but this place is a great option if you're looking for a newer vibe.

The food is excellent. We had Bao, cecivhe and Ossobuco all three servings was excellent. Very tasty and tender. The service was very good and observing. The place can absolutely be recommended. From outside it looks like nothing, but go in and experience, mums.

Bao Buns are a must. Food tasty and value for money is okay.

This isn't one of the restaurants you will see from the road, but you still should try it. Great food, great service!

The food was amazing. We got one of the ceviches and two of the baos. Everything was full with flavor and very well cooked. The tarte de leite was also yummy. So why the 3 star rating? Because the service was very very basic. They where nice and correct but they didn’t had a clue of what was their role. They just ignored us, again in a very nice way. We had to call them for almost everything with the difficulty that they rarely came to the side of the restaurant where we were. Solve the service issue and this a highly recommendable restaurant

There's too many good things to say about El Clandistino without you, the reader, thinking I might actually have a vested interest in the restaurant, so let me summarize. The food is delicious, the staff are wonderful, the drinks are expertly made and the price is right. If you're looking for a fun night in the barrio alto with great mexican food, this is where you should start.

Ate here with a group of 11 last night and we were delighted by the quality of food + service. Delicious dishes, lovely staff, very reasonable.
