    Great dinner! We were in cascais for a few hours and wanted to enjoy a good dinner. The only places we could find were very touristic, However this one was something else. Very unique concept, you choose the seafood and they cook it for you. You can also choose main dishes. We loved the Crab (the way they cooked it) and the rice with lobster (it was supposed to be for 2 people and we were 3 and couldn’t finish it). White House wine was great. Everyone could speak English and they were all very polite and taking care of us. Price around 50pp but we bought many different shrimps, crab, oysters for starters, lobster rice , salad and side dishes, 2 bottles of wine and also dessert. We would pay double in a different country! Worth a visit.

    Located in a beautiful market square, this lovely seafood restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience. With a cozy and friendly atmosphere, the place uses fresh, local ingredients to make delicious dishes. The talented chefs skillfully mix traditional and new cooking methods to create tasty seafood plates. Try the amazing shellfish platter with a variety of well-prepared seafood, or enjoy the tender octopus carpaccio that delights your taste buds with its gentle flavors. The menu has a wide range of seafood choices, suitable for different tastes. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making sure you have a great time. They are also ready to help you choose from the large wine list. Don't miss this great seafood spot, as it offers an unforgettable dining experience for everyone.

    Dined here on my first night in Portugal (Cascais) and loved it. Right when you walk in there’s a counter presenting a wide variety of fresh seafood on ice which you can choose from for your meal. The prices are indicated for each, and you tell the employee behind the counter how much you want (by weight). At the table there’s a menu of cooked dishes. I really enjoyed my meal, everything was fresh and well seasoned, not to mention very fairly priced! Service is courteous and friendly. Definitely recommend!

    Highly recommend. The freshest seafood prepared simply to enjoy the fish. Very cool space in the farmers market building. You can pick your own seafood or select from the menu. The octopus was excellent. So was the service.

    This is THE spot! This restaurant has the real deal Portuguese cod dish. I also took a risk and ordered the traditional bean soup with seafood and it was a home run! My wife even loved it too. This was the best place we ate at in all of Portugal! If we weren’t leaving tomorrow I would come back again!!

    We came here after looking for fresh seafood. They didn’t disappoint us!! Their seafood are really fresh like in a fish market. The oysters are really good and in general oyster in Portugal are good. Their lobster are excellent and they even have a huge aquarium full of lobster for you to choose from. Highly recommended!!

    Nice seafood place in the Mercado de Cascais. The seafood is very fresh and can be ordered directly from the display counter by the entrance so you know exactly what you're getting and how much it costs. I love that the place is open all afternoon and closes late. It's a great place to grab a late lunch since must restaurants in the area close at 3pm. They're also open on Monday which is the day most restaurants close in Portugal for the day off.

    Gorgeous fresh seafood with homemade recipe. Everything came in huge portions so make sure you’re hungry. Service is fast and super helpful with great recommendations. Must try: shrimp in homemade garlic spicy sauce, crab meat and seafood risotto.

    Not only the best seafood in Cascais, the way they cook it is second to none. So fresh and the lobsters are grilled to perfection. You pick them from the tank and they cook to order. Special shout out to our two favourite people there: Lily and Francisco! Who always make us and the kids feel welcome. Recommended you book as it's always busy.

    This is worth getting off the beaten path of Cascais! No water front view but this is where the fresh fish are delivered! Near an open air farmers market and with a vibe that keeps you coming back. You pick the fish still alive and then enjoy it simply grilled in olive oil. Seasonal and simple, the best way to enjoy the coastal flavor of Cascais

    Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Marisco na Praça. Loved our waiter, he really took care of us. We targeted the restaurant for their percebes. The percebes and the monster prawns out of Malta were terrific. Our best meal so far in Spain and Portugal. Excellent wine choice as well.

    Hands down the best restaurant I have EVER been to in the world. The seafood is super fresh, and cooked to perfection. The service is amazing and considering the area this is in, with amazing views, amazing food and amazing service, the price is really reasonable. Me and my partner will be returning! Looking forward to our trips to Portugal to come to this perfect place.

    Loved this place! Great location in the market. Browse the vendors (clothes, vintage, pottery - depending on the day) and stop in for an amazing seafood meal. We loved it so much we went numerous times for lunch after visiting the market. Here's how it works: - Grab a table. - Go to seafood counter and check out all the offerings. - Discuss and order what you want at the counter. - Order the menu food from your table We were also blown away by the offerings. So many varieties of crustaceans, some I had never heard of (and I really like to eat seafood). On the numerous visits, we tried a lot: - cardinal shrimp: AMAZING, has ruined shrimp for me. So delicious and enormous, really worth splitting one! - limpets: classic buttery, always wanted to have this dish - sea urchins: so fresh and delicious - razor clams: cooked in olive oil, garlic, and cilantro - really good - brown crab: full crab served room temperature with the dip made of the goo served with Melba toast. Very interesting! - seafood soup: so so good, comes with chunks of shrimp - gooseneck barnacles: first time trying this. So interesting, tastes like a sweeter clam. - chips: hot, fresh cut potato chips - white sangria: really delicious and fresh Super good, you must try!! Service was always good

    Unfortunately the seafood wasn't as great as people describe here. It wasn't bad, but nothing ecstatic. Clams in oil and garlic were kinda blant, I did like the prawns and the crab, even though when it's almost overcooked it's not good . I would do a solid 3.5 stars. Oysters were also just OK

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 6 months ago on Google
    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, the wine selection was excellent and affordable, and the seafood couldn't have been fresher. It's the perfect spot to savor unique seafood delicacies like Percebes (Goose neck Barnacles) and more!

    They have fresh fish and seafood. I asked what can be eaten raw and I got them in the picture. The shrimps were very creamy and delicious! I also ordered grilled octopus (I would not recommend) and a glass of green wine and paid 42 euro!

  • 5/5 P L. 6 months ago on Google
    Superb! I was first timer here & the quality of food is amongst the best anywhere in the world in my travels. Simply cooked, wonderful suggestions from staff like Ricky, Lucio & Paul. The deep red shrimps & the small lobsters are to die for. I went there 3 nights out of three. And I am a world traveller. 😄

😐 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.
