  • 1/5 Marcel M. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was very nice. The views were nice. The atmosphere was pleasant and the decor also. The white wine was good, and so was the beer. So this is probably a good place for some beachside drinks. Now for the food: 40 minutes after ordering the grilled fish we were told they didn’t have any. Fortunately they instead had some prawns, which drew mixed reviews from the group. The soup of the day was good. The spare ribs were very dry, it was a workout to eat them. Teeth were stronger after. Lastly, the vegan burger. It was brioche bread with a pattie, and no sauce or vegetables or anything. It tasted like a boiled potato sandwich with strong coriander seasoning.

    Disappointed. Ordered fries, mixed salad and olives. Fries almost cold and part of salad looked as from yesterday or even day before. Lemonade was good. And views are great.

    Came here with friends. Didn’t like the beverages. Bland strawberry milkshake and horrible bitter lemonade. The view was amazing though. Service is ok, not great. The waitress gave us the wrong bill, good thing we checked the items written before paying.

    Wish I could give 6 stars. Any person' s experience is influence of her/his expectations. After several hours biking I needed a not so crowded place were Mr and my friends could park the car close to us and have our lunch. What we reviewed was very very nice and helpful employees, a good table with a sea view which our bike was exactly near us, wonderful soup, very good sandwiches , fresh orange juice, not too crowded place , good value for money, snd very clean place. I mentioned cleaness bcz few days ago I visited again one other restaurant and bars in the same area name Dr Bernard which has a good food and good music, but what surprised me was the dirtyness of tables and environment (walls were full of spider nets) and the service was so bad). So am I happy with cafe do mar? Yesss, do I go back there ? Yesss.

    Just popped in for a beer after a lovely stroll along the walkway. Friendly staff and nice view of beach. The food I saw people having looked great and I would have had some but I was going back to eat at hotel with my wife and friends.

  • 1/5 Heike N. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been several times at this place and it was always good, nice stuff, decent food. However, today, the waitress cheated. She charged for our scrambled eggs with veggies the price for a omelet with shrimps and explained at length, that this would be the same price, and that she is not charging the toast (which normally comes at free). A discussion was useless, because she refused to redo the bill and kept on going that she is not charging for the toast. We ended up paying 21 Euros for two scrambled eggs and two coffee. Very disappointed! Nadja P. S. for the Café's response: I live here, know the prices and can tell when someone is cheating. This is why l posted this review to warn especially tourists. When I was there alone, or with Portuguese friends, everything was okay. But this time, I was there with a friend visiting and the owner made a big point talking English to us. Some corrections (the one who answered was not there and this can't know what we ordered): We did not see the menu We did not have two ingredients in one meal We did not have two cappuccini

  • 1/5 Zé De Freitas G. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow I never got to eat or drink. I got here took a seat and open my pc to attend my work emails, watch, watch the sunset, have a drink and grab a bite to eat. When the arrogant waitress come to my table she told me that they wouldn't allow me to have a laptop and uf I wanted to use it I would have to go to the back of the place and hide. I genuinely asked if she was serious, she arrogantly replied "yes why?" There was a smoker on the table beside me and at this point i got covered with cigarrete smoke. So i got up and left and told her that my laptop open is probably going to disturb the smoke of the guy next to me so I better go else where. She replied with a " good"... I left... If you need to work and enjoya drink go somewhere else where there is a better vibe...

    (Translated by Google) It seems to be a good place, but the attendant did not want to inform where the bathroom is because we were not in the place. That's sad. (Original) Parece ser um bom lugar, mas o atendente não quis informar onde é a casa de banho pq não estávamos no lugar. Triste isso.

  • 1/5 Ana O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Terrible attendance. We went in the afternoon to have a drink and enjoy the beach. We asked what he had, to which the normal responded. We politely tried to understand what was normal in space. Apparently, we were bothering. When sitting the table was dirty, as they were not willing to clean, we asked them to do it, as it was not hygienic to be serving us with the remains and dirty table from previous customers. They cleaned it badly and nothing was very clean. To finish we request a straw for the lemonade that never arrived. I do not recommend. (Original) Péssimo atendimento. Fomos à tarde, para beber algo e aproveitar a praia. Perguntamos o que tinha, ao qual nos responderam o normal. De forma educada tentamos perceber o que era o normal no espaço. Aparentemente, estavamoss a incomodar. Ao sentar a mesa estava suja, como não se prontificaram a limpar, solicitamos que o fizessem, pois não era higiénico estarem nos a servir com os restos e mesa suja dos clientes anteriores. Limparam de mau agrado e não ficou nada bem limpo. Para terminar solicitamos uma palhinha para a limonada que nunca chegou. Não recomendo.

    Café do mar is one of my favourite restaurant in Caparica, I love the food, it's really delicious, plus all people that work there are so nice and friendly, the ocean view is fantastic, full of good vibes.

  • 4/5 Marco P. 1 year ago on Google
    On the beach boardwalk, with excellent people watching and sunset views. (See photo.) Food was good. House wines delivered. The waiter was friendly and relaxed, just like the town in general. If you want a table along the boardwalk, you have to order a full meal. Do it. Hang out for the sunset.

  • 5/5 Marilia C. 1 year ago on Google
    It became a tradition to get the cheese burger everytime we come to Caparica! It’s so tasty! I also recommend you to sit by the road and enjoy the sunset! It’s the little things in life 😊

  • 5/5 Ruth K. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolutely friendly service-team. An absolutely beautiful view and - the most important information - an absolutely delicious menu! We had the Caesar salad and the tagliatelle with seafood. Promise me - you should try this wonderful place by yourself.

    Great restaurant right on the seafront, perfect for watching the sunset over beautiful food. The Pichana steak was huge and both the steak and the beans were amazing. The salmon was also really good. Highly recommend but get there early as the front seats often fill up quickly.

  • 1/5 Be N. 6 months ago on Google
    The service is very nice, the fried prawns were spoiled. I only really noticed this with the last two pieces, they were just liquid-decomposed inside. The chef probably saw this and had it served anyway. Too late, food poisoning resulted.

  • 1/5 Mario F. 4 years ago on Google
    Too bad I can't give it a negative rating. The worst of the restaurants I've been to. Group of 7 people including 2 children. We arrived long before 14h. At 2 pm they made the request after much insistence from us. At 2:40 pm, no drinks, no cutlery, nothing. The employees looked like dizzy cockroaches. All the tables complained. And the officials argued among themselves. Orders left the kitchen and were returned. At 2:45 pm I went to the manager and surprise surprises respond - there can be nothing on the tables because there are no orders in the kitchen !! And no apologies ... I lack a lot of humility, professionalism, organization and above all lack respect for the customer. I do not recommend.

    (Translated by Google) September 2020: excellent service. Whoever says that "beauty doesn't set a table" never went to the sea cafe. Service speed has improved a lot. Perhaps a consequence of the virus, I don't know. I recommend. September 2019: Good service. 30 minutes to serve a garlic bread. They served the starter next to the main course. Shrimp came improperly with head and tail. (Original) Setembro de 2020: atendimento excelente. Quem diz que "beleza não põe mesa" nunca foi ao café do mar. Velocidade do serviço melhorou muito. Talvez consequência do vírus, não sei. Recomendo. Setembro de 2019: Bom atendimento. 30 minutos pra servir um pão de alho. Serviram a entrada junto do prato principal. Camarão veio indevidamente com cabeça e rabo.
