Salineiro — Restaurant in Alcochete

We walked in at 4pm... A difficult time to have a nice lunch anywhwere, as restaurants won't be serving a normal meal... We were pleasantly surprised with the amazing space, both indoors and outdoors where we chose to sit, with ambiance pleasant music in the background, and the glass large front door amazing views of the river front, the perfectly framed Vasco da Gama bridge, and Lisbon on the distance! And, the best is yet to come! We were offered the option to have appetisers, not main lunch or dinner dishes, and... after a quick read of their Menu, we chose "Picapau" (dices of fried meat served in a "soup" of garlic and buttery lemon sauce with fresh herbs... We then inquired if we could order a tomato sliced and seasoned with Balsamic vinegar and traditional Portuguese Olive oil, and a side order also of fried potato chips. When the latter arrived, we were super happy to notice these were NOT frozen chips, but traditional "real potato chips"! The Portuguese sliced selection of bread was another pleassnt suprise: besides white and brown fresh bread slices, it included also a slice of "broa de milho" (a traditional and tasty corn flower based bread). To finalise, some house wine, served by the glass...

And we had an amazingly tasty meal for 2, which cost us less than 25€, all in!

The cook, a young passionate and talented 22 year old, with a Degree in Cooking and Food Management from the Hotel Training institute in Lisbon was very pleasant, and the polite and clearly professional Manageress of this Restaurant were easily aproachable and we had a nice chat at the end of our meal, to congratulate them on our 1st experience at "Salineiro", which opened only 2 years back, and is still "trying" to create its name and reputation, amongst so many other restaurants in this town of Alcochete, known for its good food "choice" of local restaurant owners.

In short, if you go to Alcochete for a day of shopping at "FreePort" (a very pleasant Duty Free shopping outlet), or just a day out for a meal, don't miss this still relatively unknown "hidden gem"! You wont...

We had an exceptional dining experience at Restaurante Salineiro in Alcochete. The food was delicious, with beautifully prepared dishes full of authentic flavor and generous portions. From the starters to the main courses, everything was fresh and perfectly cooked.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were attentive and friendly, always making sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of.

Their wine selection is excellent and pairs wonderfully with the menu. While prices may be slightly above average, the quality of the food and service absolutely justifies it.

Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be...

que dizer? decoração diferenciada minimalista mas acolhedora pragmatismo no aproveotamento de um hangar, recuperado com limpeza de linhas e palete em torno das bétulas que dá ligeireza e modernidade talvez um melhoramento a nivel.da iluminação interior centrada nas mesas e a esplanada beneficiada no pavimento e em alguns elemento decorativos que se sente um pouco despida dia atipico da ponte pascal mas composto em número de comensais o que permitiu maior atenção da cozinha e da sala Destaca-se no contexto local e pode merecer a viagem de Lisboa ou de Setúbal Pão de sementes com triptico de azeite balsamizado, manteiga de ervas finas e apontamento olivar, seguido de almondegas, chamadas croquettes de rabo de boi, proposta atrevida devido ao tamanho das ditas em que os interiores lutam com a cozedura, do rabo de boi imaginado, fibroso macio e atomatado, tudo era ausência. Massa saborosa mas com muitissimo mais potencial na promessa..A cebola confitada em cama chamava algo cítrico ou vinico de companhia. Seguido de pastel folhado de bacalhau mais desfiado do que às lascas num revolto de verdura com algum grão, num mesmo dilema de afirmação das texturas com os sabores confinados pelas massas envolventes. Aqui talvez romper com o corrente da forma da almondega ou o apastelamento do folhado libertasse esses sabores que intuimos a cozinha nos quer mostrar. Isto acompanhado por um fresco de salada bem temperada mas que poderia separar-se no prato que não o do folhado, para o deixar crescer. A terminar uma farófia plena de clara cozida coberta do creme da ordem, com a surpresa de umas amêndoas laminadas, que suscitam um crocante bem vindo. A melhorar os sucos caldosos que se encontravam ausentes. Acompanhado de duas estrelas belgas e uma água de baixa pegada de carbono. Descafeinado muito equilibrado que foi marchando com os açúcares da sobremesa. Pessoal muito atento e agradável, beneficiando da atenção exclusiva. Com uma promoção adequada e o acompanhamento da cozinha pode-se tornar um caso sério às bordas do...
