    Nice food. Fussy service We were the first customers in early evening, before 7pm. The lady serving us was overly fussing around us, we couldn't relax and enjoy the food. Then an acquaintance of theirs posted himself at the small counter right opposite our table and as the restaurant was empty, he had nothing to do but stare at us while drinking a glass of wine, we thought this was odd. We ate our food quickly and left without dessert or coffees as we felt uncomfortable with all the attention. We pass this place daily and there is a buzz from the place after 8pm, so go later, it will be more enjoyable!

    We had a great time at this cozy ambiance and lovely music restaurant. Friendly hosts, delicious food, local Portuguese wines and Gin. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended ;)

    Really nice environment and perfectly located in the old commercial area of the village. Right at the centre, 1 min away from the beach. Didn't eat, just went in for a glass of red wine, which will cost you, at least around 5 eur. Bottles start at 20, roughly. Staff is educated on their wines. Thinking about returning, maybe for some tapas. They looked amazing.

  • 3/5 Robin A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very nice, the service was very chaotic. The red wine was served too warm, for a place that has wine in its name we were expecting a higher standard there. Also the staff wasn't able to provide us with a lot of information about the wines. Missed opportunities there. The very good food made up a lot for our overall experience.

  • 5/5 Alexandra G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy place with great food and wine. The black pork dish is an absolute must try (the best pork I had in Portugal so far)

  • 5/5 Irena A. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food and wine, attentive service, beautiful interior design, nice music.

  • 5/5 Vitalii M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best wine bar in the city 🍷 here is delicious food, charming staff and hosts 🥰 be sure to order a bottle of red wine and roast beef 🥩

  • 5/5 Gil F. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. Best pork i had in my life... That dish was amazing!. Small but perfect selection of wine. Trust the host/owner she knew what she was recomending. In term of value for money that place is amazing and they do try to give a service and not just give u the food.

  • 4/5 Niko A. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give them 5 if the service weren't so bad. Kudos to the current chef, I loved the seasoning he used (I know it's a man and I didn't assume, so chillax please). Take the mushrooms, don't take the "ceviche". The best wine is the one for 22 Euros. It's awesome, that's the first white wine. Everything quite overpriced.

  • 5/5 Ted W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great wine. Great snacks and friendly service. Was a warmer day and was tired from walking the town. Have learned that some of the better places to stop are on the back streets of cascais. This one is a prime example. Cozy with friendly servers who speak english. Wine and snacks were tasty at very reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Ovidiu R. 1 year ago on Google
    it easily beats any Michelin star restaurant. the food - all of it - it's simply AMAZING! tuna, octopus, beef, it's as close to perfection as it gets. many thanks to the host for their hospitality!

  • 5/5 Morgan T. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful restaurant with amazing food! We went twice during our five day visit to Cascais. The tapas are incredible and you have to try the chocolate cake. It's to die for!

  • 2/5 Jan B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice place in the center of Cascais with nice service and a nice menu. For us, however, it was a letdown. The restaurant is small, half an hour after us a group of 8 men came in who got all the attention. Our food arrived much later and we never saw the tuna cakes. We had ordered a nice bottle of wine, but then the attention unfortunately disappeared. Too bad, now we are annoyed, it could also have been a very nice evening. (Original) Heel leuk tentje in het centrum van Cascais met leuke bediening en een mooie kaart. Voor ons was het echter een afknapper. Het restaurant is klein, een half uur na ons kwam een groep van 8 mannen binnen die alle aandacht kregen. Ons eten kwam veel later en de tonijn cakes hebben we nooit gezien. We hadden een mooie fles wijn besteld, maar daarna was de aandacht helaas verdwenen. Jammer, nu hebben we ons geïrriteerd, het had ook een hele leuke avond kunnen zijn.

  • 5/5 Joseph D. 4 years ago on Google
    I recommend the stuffed mushrooms and the mojito! Regardless you will not be disappointed!

  • 2/5 Rui C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The super nice owner for some foreigners who certainly don't come back and for me who live nearby and who might come back, nor did she say good night. It seems the Algarve from many years ago that only cared and cared for foreigners until they realized that it was better to treat everyone well (Original) A dona super simpática para uns estrangeiros que certamente não voltam e para mim que vivo perto e que talvez lá voltasse, nem boa noite me disse. Parece o Algarve de há muitos anos que só se preocupavam e atendiam bem os estrangeiros até que perceberam que era melhor tratar bem toda a gente

  • 5/5 Anna T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super tasty food, the black pudding and black pork are definitely recommended. The caramel mousse melts on your tongue. The lua cheia red wine is also highly recommended. In a word top! Great experience. (Original) Super lekker eten, de bloedworst en black pork zijn zeker een aanrader. De caramel mousse smelt op je tong. De lua cheia rode wijn is ook een grote aanrader. In een woord top! Zalige ervaring.

  • 5/5 Nils B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This place was a discovery in Cascais, searching on Google for a nice restaurant. Upon arrival a warm welcome by the friendly waitress. Nowhere else can you eat as well in Cascais as here. The different tapas are all finger-licking good. The pig recommended. The caramel mouse is softer than your mother's heart. Finally, the wonderful music to enjoy all the dishes at its best. In short "this place is underated". It is a pity that democracy decides taste. (Original) Deze plek was een ontdekking in Cascais, zoekende op Google voor een lekker restaurant. Bij het binnenkomen een warm onthaal door de vriendelijke serveuze. Je kan nergens zo lekker eten in Cascais als hier. De verschillend tapas zijn stuk voor stuk om vingers bij af te likken. Het varken een aanrader. De caramelmouse is zachter dan je moeders hart. Tot slot de heerlijke muziek om alle gerechten op zijn best te kunnen van genieten. Kortom "this place is underated". Het is een spijtige zaak dat smaak door democratie beslist wordt.

    The food was from another planet and with very good price. Recommend the ceviche, the stuffed mushroums and the octopus rice. Heaven. PS the music was fantastic as well!

  • 5/5 Julija M. 4 months ago on Google
    Cosy atmosphere with tasty food and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Andreea 8 months ago on Google
    A cosy place to have a good wine and some food. Had the ceviche which was wonderful and super fresh, the Tiramisu (went twice for it 😂) and a cheese platter. Tried a few of their wines too. The greatest thing about this place is Klaus, who was so accommodating, so friendly and nice and made my stay there very enjoyable. Ended up going back with friends just for him ☺️

  • 5/5 Karl D. 7 months ago on Google
    Best meal I had in Portugal. They should have a Michelin star. Gluten free options catered for and excellent wine at very reasonable prices. Each dish is excellent

  • 5/5 Karl D. 7 months ago on Google
    Best restaurant in Cascais. We had a wonderful meal with some of the best starters and main courses we ate in a long time, there were excellent recommendations by the team. Great wine, food and wine reasonably priced - definitely reasonable for the quality, and accompanied by an excellent background of music from the 80s the night we went. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing food and good service. Well guided for menu choices. The black pork shank is a definite recommendation.

  • 4/5 DemanDeSoleil 4 months ago on Google
    We visited this place a year ago and I remember it being very nice. The food was good, drinks were great, service was good.

  • 5/5 Mike H. 5 months ago on Google
    Wow! Kinda low key, off the tourist track. Went there because of the recommendations, and it did not disappoint. Perhaps the best meal in Portugal (so far) and it’s been a week. Went for fish, but our server, Thomas, steered me towards the black pork shank. Absolutely delicious! Cool relaxed vibe with good tunes.

  • 5/5 Aj S. 10 months ago on Google
    You gotta check this place out for tapas! Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Food could not be better. The green eggs were awesome along with the carpaccio and stuffed mushrooms!

  • 5/5 Anise Y. 9 months ago on Google
    You must visit this place if you are in Cascais. The food was AMAZING. We had dinner there and went back there the next day. We recommend the Octopus rice and stuffed mushrooms.

  • 5/5 harold c. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is so great, especially the black pork or choose duck with fruits. You need to take time and enjoy the food and music.

  • 5/5 Laura G. 10 months ago on Google
    This wine/tapas bar is gem. Sonia and Klaus are lovely. They took such good care of us! Try the 21 house ceviche, octopus salad, and gluten free cheesecake (Sonia’s speciality). Everything was delicious and made with love. Also enjoyed the 80s music, perfect backdrop for the six bottles of wine we consumed.

  • 5/5 melissa g. 9 months ago on Google
    Having lunch here was the highlight of our trip in Cascais. Sonia and Klaus created such an inviting and communal atmosphere in every way, they were so funny and charismatic. Also the food/wine was delicious! Sonia's gluten free cheesecake was my favorite thing I had my whole time in portugal.

  • 5/5 Teresa Gomes da S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great wine selection! We had Insurgente from Dão region and we loved it. Great and friendly costumer service. We’ll be back.

  • 5/5 kt s. 1 year ago on Google
    Small café with wonderful atmosphèr And delicious food. You will soon be talking to your neighbour and soon be talking to two tables. There is an occasionally Fado singer. But shhh, we don't want too many people knowing about this Tapas Bar. Reserve.

  • 5/5 Mariah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible food and service. You must try the house made olives. The stuffed mushrooms were so good (and cheesy) and the tuna was fantastic.

  • 4/5 Patrick 4 years ago on Google
    Nice ambience, pleasant experience. Food a bit overpriced. Somewhat uneven in taste; the stuffed mushroom caps were tender and enjoyable but somewhat bland. The grilled sausage pieces over spinach and under a fried quail egg were savory and delicious. The large charcuterie board was also somewhat bland and predictable, as well as overpriced. Octopus rice was very enjoyable; tomato based broth was well seasoned and the octopus was very tender. Service was attentive but not pushy. Altogether a pleasant evening.

  • 5/5 Stewart S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Meals are served tapas style and each dish was a wonderful surprise. Dishes come out freshly made. Barbara is friendly, accommodating, attentive and helpful. 6 of us went early evening without reservation, but I would recommend phoning and reserving. I had red wine which was delicious.

  • 5/5 Tammy p. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great little place this is! Delicious wines, divine little tapas (order the cheese with red berries-to die for!) and such wonderful ambiance, I can’t wait to come back. OH- did I mention- VERY REASONABLE PRICES! 💗 Truly a gem!
