    Very nice location, in front of the ocean, looking right at the sunset. The inside is cozy for bad days. They have a special deal for tea during rainy days. Nice service and large portions. Recommended

    O. M. G. What a find! This little shack is truly a hidden gem. The place itself is nothing to look at, but the viewwwwww is to die for! Honestly. I almost thought twice about reviewing it because I don't want more people to find it! It's likely to be overwhelmingly busy in the summer. Even in early April we had to wait inside to get a table outside. (Believe me, you don't want to sit inside....). We had chicken salad with mango dressing, a prosciutto/mozzarella/lettuce/tomato sandwich, and white sangria. The bread is fabulous and the salad was light and fresh. We were too full for dessert but they seemed like huge portions and looked good enough to share. The sangria...yum! And such a delight to look at. I'll post a pic. Our uber driver said he thought the food was so-so, but We disagreed. Our little lunch was really great. This is a go-to for brunch, lunch or to watch the sunset. I'm not sure if it's open late but it would definitely lose its charm without the view. Prices were about right for the offerings, and we uber'd but this place isn't far from the train station, so you could walk if you want to.

    A beautiful spot with a dazzling view. Open all year round. Good salads, wraps, toasts, etc. Excellent environments. Good to go with friends, children or alone and read a book. Located on a scarp facing the ocean.

    Beautiful views, wonderful service, and good food. Just make sure you have cash as they don't accept card payments.

    Fantastic placing! (When you find the quite hidden way to there...). Good and, for the area, reasonably priced food and drinks (style tapas/petiscos). The outside patio offers an amazing view over the Cascais bay, and even being full in afternoon /lunchtime it still feels quiet and cosy. 😍 ++++5*: Your dogs are welcome too! 👍

  • 4/5 alaa k. 4 weeks ago on Google • 40 reviews New
    Love this place! While I only tried the appetizer, which was delicious, the highlight for me was the rosé sangria—it was fantastic. However, the best part of this restaurant is its unbeatable location right by the beach, offering stunning ocean views. I’ll definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Sarah D. 2 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    We stumbled upon this unassuming little spot while out for a walk. We were getting rained out quite hard and thought we would step in for a brief respite from the rain. We ended up staying for AGES! The view is beautiful (and probably moreso on a clear day) and the atmosphere is so calming. We enjoyed some wine and shared plates. The service was lovely.

  • 2/5 Nuno C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good just the location and the view. The food is nothing special. They served salad with wilted leaves, seasoned food, amateur service. It has no ATM, being the nearest bank at 1km. It's a shame to take advantage of location to attract customers. Surely for the food and service, they didn't win me over. (Original) Bom só mesmo o local e a vista. A comida não é nada de especial. Serviram salada com folhas murchas, comida sem tempero, atendimento amador. Não tem multibanco, ficando o banco mais perto a 1km. É pena, tirar proveito da localização para atrair clientes. Seguramente pela comida e serviço, não me conquistaram.

  • 5/5 Zane R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Antonio C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went at the suggestion of a friend. Very nice place, with great frequency, excellent table service and care, where a pleasant surprise awaited me. Probably the manager? He suggested that my pet stay inside so that it would be more comfortable and protected, providing a bowl of water. Only this gesture made me whenever I was around, give her a pass .... very friendly attitude. I liked it 😁 (Original) Fui por sugestao de uma amiga. Local muito agradavel, com otima frequencia, atendimento de mesas excelente e cuidado, onde uma agradavel surpresa me aguardava. Provavelmente a gerente? sugeriu que a minha pet ficasse no.interior de forma a estar mais comoda e resguardada, Providenciando uma tigela com agua . Só esse gesto fez para que eu sempre que esteja por perto, la dê uma passagem.... muito simpatica a atitude. Gostei 😁

    (Translated by Google) It is always wonderful to go to Alcatruz. And it is always impossible to say what you liked best because the service is 5 *, the food is wonderful and the view is beautiful. (Original) É sempre maravilhoso ir ao Alcatruz. E é sempre impossível dizer o que se gostou mais porque o atendimento é 5*, a comida maravilhosa e o visual é lindo.

  • 4/5 Paulo Seica L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After the change is much worse. The benches are not comfortable, the tables run like taverns to share with the other customers next door (who in times of covid ...). What a bad taste and lack of sensitivity for the well being that is the soul of this business. The place is spectacular for this bad taste, the old Alcatruz was much better (Original) Após a alteração está bastante pior. Os bancos não são confortáveis, as mesas corridas tipo tasca a partilhar com os outros clientes do lado (que em tempo de covid...). Que mau gosto e falta de sensibilidade para o bem estar que é a alma deste negócio. O lugar é espetacular para este mau gosto, o velho Alcatruz era bem melhor

  • 5/5 Nuno C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quiet and pleasant place. The appetizer board is fantastic. The view is wonderful. (Original) Local calmo e aprazível. A tábua de apetizers é fantastica. A vista é maravilhosa.

Vista deslumbrante e staff simpático. Gostaria apenas de ver mais opções na ementa mas tudo o que provei estava delicioso, incluindo a sangria rosé com frutos vermelhos!

I strongly recommend it. (Original) Tudo é maravilhoso!!! Serviço e comida TOP! Só experimentando se percebe realmente o encanto deste espaço com uma vista indescritível para o mar. Recomendo vivamente.

  • 3/5 Carlos D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a pity that such a pleasant place with good service excels in banality with regard to food and drink: a disconsolate lemonade and banal toast, at a high price. I may have been unlucky, but I think a place like this deserved better. (Original) Uma pena que um local tão aprazível e com um bom serviço prime pela banalidade no que à comida e bebida diga respeito: uma limonada desconsolada e uma torrada banal, por um preço elevado. Posso ter tido azar, mas acho que um local destes merecia melhor.

  • 2/5 alda c. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The terrace area was full of flies. It gives the idea that they leave consumables unprotected, so they exude the odor that attracts them. (Original) A zona da esplanada estava cheia de moscas. Dá ideia que deixam consumíveis desprotegidos, de forma que exalam o odor que as atrai.
