Zico — Restaurant in Aveiro

Three of us had dinner on a Monday night. We dined early by Portuguese standards. Service was quick and attentive. I like the atmosphere of this place. One of our party had sea bass. Excellent. One of our party had grilled salmon. It was really dry and nearly tasteless -- she left half of it, and so I tried the other half. I've grilled salmon myself, and it's not that hard to get right.

This was our first time eating here. We will...

Waiters were busy and a bit harassed, we weren't brought any bread or anything like that (unlike other tables) but our waiter showed us what was still available on the menu. Unfortunately the chicken (cheapest and apparently most popular) was gone but the steak and secretos were pretty good. Sardines ok, not fabulous. Nice...

Delicious, delicious, delicious! Definitely off the tourist strip but not far from it. We had the traditional roasted chicken which came with fries, a big salad, a bowl of vegetable soup, two beers, a fruit salad that was so good that we got another one to take home ~€40 Amazing value, great flavour. We came right at 7pm when it opened for dinner and it filled up very quickly afterwards. We enjoyed it so much, we plan to go a second...
