Cascais Hidden Gem: Don't Miss This Seafood Rice Spot!

Not sure if Portugal is just that delicious or if I got lucky—I barely planned my food stops, yet every Google Maps pick was a winner! (Trust those ratings, folks.) During a day trip from Lisbon, we stumbled upon Cascais. The town and its coastal views are gorgeous, but the main strip? Tourist central—packed with generic "we-serve-everything" restaurants (pasta, fish & chips, burgers... you know the drill 😅). Craving authentic local flavors, we found Melody tucked away in a charming alley. Just a short walk from the waterfront, but worlds apart in vibe—think cozy taverns buzzing with locals! 🍽️ Our Feast: House White Wine 🍷 | Crisp and perfect Grilled Cuttlefish 🦑 | Insanely fresh with a garlic-parsley punch Seafood Rice 🥘 | A massive pot brimming with ocean-goodness. That broth-soaked rice? Heaven. (Failed to book top spots in Lisbon—who knew Cascais would deliver?!) 💰 €20-30pp 📍 Rua do Poço Novo 195, Cascais Pro Tip: Free potatoes come with the meal—order mains wisely! Two dishes easily feed two. #PortugalTravel #CascaisEats #SeafoodRice #EuropeanFoodAdventures #HiddenGems
