Restaurante O Veleiro — Restaurant in Almada

I ate here alone and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The staff was not friendly, and I felt ignored as a solo diner. I ordered olives, toasted bread, and a 7Up — they brought the olives, but never gave me the bread or the drink, even though I was still charged for the bread on the bill.

To make things worse, I was charged €17 for just 200g of prawns (€85/kg!), which is extremely overpriced. The receipt also states it's not a valid invoice, making it difficult to raise a formal complaint. I left feeling unwelcome and overcharged. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place, especially if you're...

We went here with friends for the last dinner in Portugal. And it was obviously the best!!!

Our initial expectations were moderate but we've got the table inside and here the fun starts.

They had lots of fresh seafood, I even don't know the names for some of it in my mother tongue thus impossible to describe in English. But go there if you like fresh seafood and excellent service - even the white wine they proposed to the food was delicious.

We loved it, our kids loved it, and I believe you will love it as well.

5 stars out of 5 stars goes...

Terrible. Octopus salad with no seasoning or sauce, and octopus that hadn't seen the ocean for far too long. Pork with a decidedly rancid aftertaste. Reheated flaccid fries. One of those places where they display the uncooked ingredients, but maybe shouldn't. The fish and the meat looked decidedly forlorn and grey, and were both handled without gloves, as were the less than fresh slices of lemon put on the plates as garnish. Service was fast, and the drinks were cold. Otherwise, nothing good to say about this...
