Atlântico — Restaurant in Cascais

Maybe me and my girlfriend went on an exceptionally bad day for them. It was a sunny and hot day, nice outside setting so we decided to give it try. We knew it wasn't cheap, as any place named " marisqueira" is usually expensive and often overrated. It was a very bad decision. €56 for two people. We order half bottle of white wine (€10), a bottle of water, one octopus salad (around €5 and the size of a small ashtray). No entre or ´couvert`. The mains: one salmon for her (€14) and one grouper (€19) on the grill. Both portions were really small. both accompanied by steamed green beans, "fist smashed" potatoes and poorly cut carrots and broccoli. The green beans, served on a crescent moon shaped dish, arrived hanging out of the dish (remember these are 14 and 19 euro mains). For dessert we picked a egg yolk pudding. Tough, tasteless and served with a touch of corn syrup (a cheaper version of honey). 2 espressos and a bad aftertaste and indisputably my worst dinning experience in...

I don't know where to start. On the last evening of our holiday we chose a local fish restaurant with a rating of 4.3, although the prices of the dishes corresponded to a higher category.

Well, no problem, but when he filled it halfway with Aperol syrup and topped it up with sparkling wine, it started to get suspicious. My husband ordered meat cubes on vegetables and I ordered fish stew. Both tasted great. However, after 4 hours things started to happen. I felt sick, although I eat seafood regularly and I like it. The night was cruel, I didn't sleep and spent it on the toilet, intermittently vomiting and diarrhea. I was taken to the airport totally devastated. It is not my intention to damage the good name of this restaurant, I rarely write negative reviews, but I think the good old days are gone and the quality...

If you Love seafood this is a must go place to eat ,Although a little more pricey than the other restaurants surrounding this square the seafood is fantastic and the portions are large .We had garlic prawns to start that were very fat and jucy followed by the Lobster seafood rice .There is ample lobster and clams and prawns in the stew and would suggest there is no need for a starter as it is a big portion even for 2 people.Often very busy and you can not book so turn up before 7pm if you want a better chance of getting a table at busy times...
