    Palaphita is just a magic place. We went to play chess, the atmosphere it’s perfect for any occasion really. The staff is friendly, not everyone speaks English but they understand your request. In any case, it’s always nice to learn just a couple of phrases to order. All around, it’s full of little kiosks, restaurants, shops and specially in this period and during the weekends it’s full of Christmas stands. The place is kids and pets friendly, Prices are affordable and the view is just breathtaking. Enjoy!

    Great hang out place with drinks and food with amazing view. Also very good live DJ music certainly enhanced the chilled atmosphere vibes. Good customer service with reasonable price. Feels like we were in the woods, so closed to nature and yet enjoying the modern facilities. Will be back for sure! :)

    Great location, nice music playing all day long and the food is absolutely delicious! Especially the typical Brazilian dishes that the very friendly team will recommend if you’re open to trying new things. It’s a must try experience!

    Place is beautiful, decorations, view - amazing. Service very nice and friendly. What I did not like: - I think the prices are too high for the size of the portions. - Not fan of the “bathroom” (it’s like a cabin WC in a music festival)

    The food was amazing—flavors on point, and each dish felt the Amazonian touch. The service was equally fantastic—attentive and friendly. Overall, a top-notch dining experience! Highly recommend.

    It's a great spot with nice views and most importantly, dogs are welcome. The food is good, though the food alone doesn't justify the prices. It's the views and scenery that justifies it. Service is very friendly, only remark i have is that we overpaid for a bowl of sweet potato chips, not knowing that the two hot dogs we ordered also came with the same chips. Other than that, it's a nice place.

    A great place to hang out and meet up with friends or for a romantic date. Love the atmosphere- food is great too! Palaphita is in the vicinity of Casa da Guia. Most people find street parking, but if you enter the property, there’s more parking on the right side- follow the cobblestone road until it brings you to a dirt road. There are 2 levels of parking and it is overlooking the ocean.

    This place is unrealistically beautiful. Extraordinary waiters and waitresses providing extremely high quality service, perfect sea view and tables in the nature... A place I would definitely want to come back again and again. I haven't been to a place where everything is so perfect for a long time, especially in a place like Lisbon where the service sector is bad.

    Nice atmosphere, great view. Unfortunately, it was full of annoying flies sitting on the food and on me. The burger looked great, but sadly was very bland. Also, the burger bun was a bit stale/boring and could have been toasted for better taste/feeling. The waiter had issues understanding a simple order in English. I paid 37 € for one person (cheese as starter, burger as main, 1 coffee, 1 small water). Food display 8/10 Food taste 6.5/10 Food value for price 4/10 Overall, I don't recommend this restaurant. Adding more taste to the food would change my opinion.

    We found this gem on our walk from Cascais. So glad we kept walking. Marcos provided great service and our food and wine were incredible. Also, you can't beat the setting - under the trees and on the water. It was so memorable and enjoyable!

  • 5/5 Mohamed H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for groups and couples with stunning views on the ocean. It's a bit expensive however the food is good. On Friday evening there was a live DJ which enhanced the overall experience. Shout out to Chris he made our evening special. (I hope they can increase the staff on weekends)

    Seriously beautifully unique location with excellent energy ! The staff are more than welcoming and go above and beyond to cater to everything you could possibly need (we had our toddler with us who is exceptionally fussy with food and they prepared her a little dish of the things she does like). Perfect place to witness the sunset and as the night falls the place lights up with an array of multi coloured tree lights. If you visit, be aware that this place is a little more on the expensive side but entirely worth the extra spend for the great atmosphere and delicious food !

    Varieties of food were great when we visited. Beef, pork, seafood were all great. Not sure if that's because of private event, but they had a good band also walking around entertaining us, which was fantastic. View to the ocean is also another great experience. The waiter/waitress services were also good. Good options for drinks, alcohol and non-alcohol. The only improvement needed here was the cleanliness of the toilets. They have removable toilets installed, most were quite dirty when I visited.

    The place and the view was amazingly beautiful. We felt super comfortable here. This is a place to stay long. Around there are lot of other places to eat and drink. The waiters were super friendly. The drinks and food were good.

    Nature cliff , music ,cocktail And best view. Entrance is 5 euro often. Bit expensive but worth is to visit while you are in cascais.

  • 3/5 Siok Hoon H. 11 months ago on Google
    We had beef and pork burger. Beef burger was quite bland while the pork burger taste better. Service however was good! Nice view though.

  • 4/5 Maria E. 11 months ago on Google
    It's an amazing find.. Igloos meet Boho.. Or is a Boho Park with igloos? Either way it's set romantically in woody parts of the cliff. It has a nice restaurant that offers drinks, food and a bar-b-que! We only went there for drinks so I can only rate 4 starts on pistachio cheesecake. Maybe I interpreted the menu wrong as it tasted more like peachey lol! They've also an area that looks like an open concert stage which is also used for yoga classes. Music is played all around and a massive chair which is great for taking pictures or just watching the sunset or sea.

    The vibe of this place is very cool. They have it all decorated for Halloween. Unfortunately we went when it was raining so we were a little confined to our bubble, but I think it would be even cooler when it's busy and you can dine outside of the bubble. The prices here are a bit high which I think reflects the niche of the atmosphere. The food is definitely delicious though.

  • 4/5 Leandro Gomes do N. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and fantastic view. We had burgers and they were delicious. A bit pricey, to be honest, but you get what you pay for.

  • 4/5 Ruhaan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmospheric place but they need to focus on food too. They could do better

  • 4/5 A C. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here for drinks and some food one evening in the fall. Even though it was outdoors, the space heaters were able to warm us up. The place has a nice atmosphere, lounge like feeling and chill music. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu items and the barbecue they seem to have ready to fire up!

  • 4/5 Diana G. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome staff, very good experience in general,, beautiful view and tasty food. However, giving 4 stars because food and drinks are just overwhelmingly expensive. We paid 14 euro for a plate of potatoes when the cost of preparing them does not exceed 2 euro, omg!!!

  • 5/5 Amy C. 1 year ago on Google
    The view alone is worth the visit, but the atmosphere, food, and service puts it over the top! The tables are scattered under the trees - with the music and lights you almost feel like you are camping at a super chill festival. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and pointed out great recommendations for our meal. The food was a cut above, with great flavors and creative touches. We shared a charcuterie platter, with roasted veggies, regional cheeses and meats - the "Amazonian" chutney was amazing - gingery and fantastic with the cheese. We can't wait to go back and try more!

😐 So, firstly, the food here was very good! The starters were very tasty and huge portions (so beware unless you're really hungry), and the pizzas we had were delicious. And if you have a table by the window facing the sea, the view is lovely. However... overall experience was soured by poor service....

👍👍 Perfection. Spider crab was very well cooked, and was cut and set to eat with least effort. Steamed octopus was so tender and seafood rice had rich taste. And all the foods went so well with green wine. Wish I could visit again.
