    I have been here 5 or 6 times. Each time was very enjoyable. The staff are friendly and professional, the dishes are fantastic, and each time the chef has come to our table to chat with us. I highly recommend the duck leg confit.

    Fresh, perfectly grilled seabream (dorade). Excellent service with good wine recommendation. Cold beer :) Highly recommendable.

    I live on the ocean, in Peniche. We have arguably the best seafood in Portugal, coming in through our markets. And until eating at Peixão, I was certain I had the best of the best. Well, not only was the fish at Peixão the best I’ve ever eaten (I had the sea bass which was caught hours before and on ice when I arrived), I would say that after living in the country for now 3 years, Peixão is the best restaurant in Portugal. Service, cooking technique, recipes, presentation, correct seasoning, ambiance, cost, everything. The chef/owner greeted us as we walked in and guided us through the menu as we were settling in. My girlfriend is a vegetarian, which is always tricky in a country still stuck on meat. However, Chef made a perfectly cooked and inspired veggie dish, especially for her off the top of his head. To top it off, there was a hand typed, personalized note waiting for us on the table! I’ve been to Michelin all over the world. Which is fun. But when it comes to perfect ingredients executed perfectly, I am grateful Peixão is just the next town down the coast from me. Bravo!

    I booked this restaurant via email and I received a warm reply. I requested a table near the window which was granted. This restaurant is in a fantastic location and it was possible to watch the sunset. The deco inside is very tasteful and up to date. Good choice of music. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu is the right size and plenty of choice. During my visit to the Restaurant Peixão, the Sapateira festival was going on so we decided to go for it. The food was tasty and pleasantly presented on the plate. Despite the fact we could order as many as we like we did not order more sapateira, but we requested more toasted bread to finish the dish. And unfortunately this was added on to the bill. Overall I consider that 76 euros (without desert) for 2 people was a bit overpriced.7

    Delicious food and friendly service. I would have loved to have a gluten-free dessert option other than fruit salad.

    Favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz. The chef prepares traditional Portuguese food, usually with a little twist. Every meal I’ve had, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I’d recommend the polvo à lagareiro or the risotto! The staff is kind and attentive and the beach view is a plus! The price is a bit more than typical Portuguese restaurants but we’ll worth it and won’t break the bank either.

    O Peixao became one of our favourite restaurants in the area. We had chargrilled Rascasso, which was a true delight. Table service is quite something, and felt like a luxurious experience.

    Delicious from start to finish - the grilled whole fish was amazing and the little ones really enjoyed the dessert. Staff is super nice and helpful; a great night out in Santa Cruz

    Very nice restaurant and atmosphere. Service was great. Fish was fresh and delicious. Chef Pedro is kind and provided excellent recommendations.

    Very nice staff. They can speak in English very well. The soup and the fresh fish was amazing. The restaurant is a very good visit card of St Cruz, Torres Vedras in Portugal. I went there with my family from Netherlands and they stayed amazed with the decoration, food and staff. At the end after payment, they gave to us a gift of custard cakes. 🍮 5* definitely!

    Amazing fish meal. Had the ceviche and grilled halibut, with the Portas do Vale white whine (gem of a Portuguese white wine). Great and helpful staff.

    What an unexpected great experience we hat at Peixão. Looked for a late dinner, didn't really know much about the place and felt very welcome from the beginning on. Nice atmosphere, good service and really great food for a moderate price. Best food we had in the Santa Cruz area. Can only recommend it. And props to who ever is responsible for the nice 80s playlist that was playing over the stereo. Really enjoyed everything about our time there.

    Food was fine, service was fine. Decor was modern. Perhaps a bit expensive for what it is.

    We visited the restaurant for the sapateira festival. The environment is fancy and personal which is refreshing. Unfortunately the staff is divided by tasks leading to confusion and unattended tables. Staff is super friendly though - they offered us 2 mini pasteis de nata. Princes are okay, not cheap nor expensive. The cooking of the sapateira was brilliant but the sapateira paste was a shame.
