We had an amazing experience at Almina Cascais. After making a reservation for the wrong day, they were able to accommodate us by sitting at the bar in front of the open kitchen. This was a perfect opportunity for us to see the staff busy at work perfecting their craft and see all the outgoing dishes. The Sous Chef was very gracious and engaging with us and gave us great counsel to navigate the array of wonderful dishes to choose from. We ordered the Almina Mezze which was a selection of their signature flavors with flat bread and artisan sourdough. We ate it all and cleaned the plates.This was followed by slow cooked carrots and Mediterranean spices on a bed of Labane which is like a savory thick Greek styled yogurt. This is a must to get!!! We also had a heirloom tomato salad with melon and fig oil. We finished with the Figs with mascarpone and toasted buckwheat. We would highly recommend this restaurant and would be back again the next night if our travel permitted. Staff was outstanding in all areas and we really appreciated speaking with the Sous Chef who was so personable and open to engaging us. A must for anyone...

Color palette of plates is lovely. The details of the interior are magnificent, the location is in a hidden quiet corner just off the beach, exterior seating is on a cute little street and the interior is homey and romantic. We sat inside and had oysters, carrots, burrata, mussels, and...
