    Great place situated on the waterfront in Cascais Lisbon, a great place to grab lunch, their plates of the day are amazing. The staff are friendly and the place usually draws a nice ambient crowd. I would recommend the Salmon although all the dishes look really tasty! If your in Cascais, then stop by and have a bite with a local beer while enjoying the views of the marina.

  • 5/5 Nuria L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a bit expensive but it is definitely worth it, the seafood rice, the lagareiro octopus, its white sangria and the garlic bread of entree .. It's all great (Original) Es un poco caro pero merece la pena sin duda, el arroz de marisco, el pulpo a lagareiro, su sangria blanca y el pan de ajo de entrante.. Esta todo buenísimo

  • 4/5 Dominika N. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a very good spot for beach lunch. Fast service. Great views. The octopus salad was very good, se also like the cheese toast with tomato. Would really recommend the sangria, it was full of fruit and not too sweet. You can pay with card and they have decent restrooms.

    Tasty, well - cooked food with great service. Not only that, but in walking to the bar I'd been drenched by a monster wave. The guys put my mobile in a bag of rice for me and gave me some paper towels to dry off and then a blanket to keep warm. They really went the extra mile and showed that they cared. Thanks guys

    (Translated by Google) Intagible service for nationals. They only give attention and preference to foreign customers. Note that the management is foreign too. Place not to return and not to recommend. (Original) Atendimento intagável para os nacionais. Só dão atenção e preferência a clientes estrangeiros. Atenção que a gerência é estrangeira também. Local a não voltar e a não recomendar.

    I lovely and unpretentious place to sit, enjoy the view of the beach and relax. You can get toasted sandwiches, seafood, burgers, chips, salads, cocktails, beers and some other foods. Very friendly service also.

  • 5/5 Arkaitz M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 100% recommendable. In the same promenade of the beach with a very attentive and friendly staff. The seafood rice was amazing with the perfect amount for two people. We also recommend the garlic bread, a good companion for the main dish. If we are in the area for sure we will return. (Original) 100% recomendable. En el mismo paseo de la playa con un personal muy atento y amable. El arroz con marisco estaba increible con la cantidad perfecta para dos personas. También recomendable el pan con ajo, buen acompañante para el plato principal. Si estamos por la zona seguro que volveremos.

    Great view. Great servers. Great food. Stopped in several times to the seaside restaurant. People watching and wave watching and sometimes surfers make it a great stop. Servers speak english and very friendly. Nice beer and wine selection. Simple bread, cheese and olives for a nice snack. Seafood with sangria and some piri piri is worth a try. Very clean restrooms too

  • 5/5 Jennifer R. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place for a meal and beer. They have Perfect Peaks craft beer and we had the tuna bruschetta. All of the food looks amazing. Lovely views of marina and beach. Wish we had stopped here when I was hungry!!

  • 5/5 Chris P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location between Monte Estoril and Cascais along the boulevard. Had a delicious Pastel de Nata with a milky coffee. Friendly service and they speak English but why not try a bit of Portuguese? The Sopa de Peixe looks delicious

  • 5/5 Nithin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, clearly made with passion. Beautiful cocktails. Scenic venue. Excellent value for money, given the current hike in cost of living everywhere. Pleasant and friendly hosts.

  • 1/5 Mary A. 2 years ago on Google
    The quality of the food could be better, the fish was good but the Caesar salad is a mess, you get better ones at Mcdonald, plus the price is very high,and the stuffhad very little knowledge (or couldn't care less) about the food. Plus, the menu doesn't really allow you to understand what's inside the dished served. All together a very bad experience and poor quality. Worst place I've ever been yet.

  • 5/5 Trevor M. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't beat their fish soup paired with a dry white. Best to go for lunch before the sun dips behind the hill.

  • 5/5 Feraz Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place, especially on weekdays in the morning. Croissant and coffee, or maybe a salad. Excellent service from the team. A little gem in Cascais.

  • 1/5 Angie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ww tried to have lunch today and were welcomed by a rude server that said they had no tables for lunch. They had 7 empty tables! Too bad the owner wasn't there. I'm not going back anytime soon. I had lunch at Baiuka. . In response to your answer, the way your "professional " blonde manager pushed my son and family away....he had no time to ask for you so we were convinced uou were in England. Time will tell how professional that woman is. BTW. My son, his family my copadres Artur and Cristina as well as myself have been clients for many many years and this was the 1st time we were treated in that fashion.

  • 5/5 Tammy p. 5 years ago on Google

    I have been here many times, the view is amazing. A server even recalled our typical order from last year. That i what I call service..

  • 4/5 Adrian Q. 7 months ago on Google
    This place was a real find. Not obviously located, it's not right by the beaches in Cascais but it is on the seafront / boardwalk adjacent to a water sports centre and very close to our hotel (Miragem), but tucked away through an underpass that traverses the main road and rail line into town. The menu is not extensive but the food and drinks we have had have all been thoroughly delicious, the staff really helpful and friendly and speak excellent English (handy, as my Portuguese is limited!). Plus, in contrast to several other establishments closer to the beaches, they've been very accomodating. For example, as we walked into town on our first evening, despite the fact they were closing, they were happy to serve us a "Port Tonic" and sit and take in the view of Cascais harbour/town as the sun went down. Several of the bars closer to the town/beach just exuded a attitude of not being bothered if we took our custom there or not. This place couldn't have been friendlier, even when the weather took a turn for the worst! Friendly, great food/drink, clean and good value. Big 👍👌 from me.

    Reviewed June 7, 2023 via mobile Yum! 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!

  • 5/5 Nicola D. 7 months ago on Google
    20+ years later and this is still top of the list of “my happy places” in Cascais. Same welcome and friendly smile from the whole team. Food is always reliable. Their clams “à bulhão pato” are a must!! Their house white wine is always great! And the location couldn’t be better, overlooking an oceanic pool with the south bank of the Tejo and Lisbon as a backdrop, it’s top!!

    Very nice place by the sea for a simple lunch. The club sandwiches and wraps are nice. Milkshakes and sangria also good, and they serve a nice local beer. The location is pleasant as it has more space and is less cramped than the ones further on along the walking path towards cascais

  • 5/5 Jean C. 7 years ago on Google
    This bar is situated along the promenade in cascais. It's lovely to sit having a nice meal, watching the world go by and enjoy the wonderful view. I ate delicious clams and prawns with homemade garlic bread washed down with the best sangria. The staff were very helpful and attentive without being pushy. Spotlessly clean as a clean toilet is a must for me! Will definitely recommend this little bit of paradise.

😐 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.
