Wow!! We stopped into this place after a long drive to Cascais. Not knowing what to expect we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The Beautiful ambiance and views makes for a beautiful dinning experience. A little on the pricier side but the food and service is on the higher end on the scale. I had the bacalao with potatoes and my husband had the fried filet of sole. Both portions were very good size and the filet of sole came with tomato rice and salad. We also had the vegetable soup which was delicious. Be ware they set your table with a bunch of apps that you didn’t order and even if you just taste it you’ll be charged. Once we got to our table the table was set with olives, bread cheese and some minced rabbit dish, We asked what it was and sent it back because no one in our party ate rabbit. The cheese alone was 23euros so make sure you want it before you start your meal. The view is beautiful and its a wonderful way to have lunch or dinner.

Absolutely spectacular, absolutamente espetacular! The restaurant was beautiful and the staff was so friendly and helpful. They start off by offering you appetizers which they state is up to you if you want or not and if you don't like he will take it away. Just have to say no thank you and it won't be eaten or on your bill. We did eat the suggested appetizers however and was not disappointed! The prawns, olives along with the different breads and cheeses were delicious. Sunset View of the Atlantic Ocean Fresh fish you pick out yourself before it is cooked. (seabass prawn, crab, spider crab etc.) 10/10 Also our sever Roy was so polite and helped me with my Portuguese when I struggled through a few sentences. Great view. Great food, friendly staff

The location of the restaurant is truly stunning, especially if you're fortunate enough to visit during a storm or windy weather. The view from inside is remarkable, allowing you to appreciate the dramatic scenery in comfort. The design of the place is simple yet elegant, giving it a distinct character that complements its surroundings. The service was also up to par with what you would expect from a five-star restaurant—attentive and professional. However, we were left quite disappointed by the food. The dish, which looked beautiful and promising, was nearly flavorless. It felt as though the seafood had simply been boiled in unsalted water, with no effort put into enhancing the flavors before it was served. Lack of seasoning and preparation was quite underwhelming, especially given the high expectations set by the ambiance and service. Even now I have mixed feelings about the place. It has so much potential with its stunning location and atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food fell far short of what we hoped for. Despite its beauty, it’s hard to overlook the fact that the culinary experience didn’t match the restaurant’s otherwise impressive qualities.

🤢🤢🤢So...we had an "extra" in our grilled octopus. A cockroach 🪳 Pointed to the waiter and asked for the bill immediately (oh yes I don't want a dessert after this). Waiter brought a bill, the octopus dish wasn't deducted. The only apology was from the waiter that he is sorry.. *Also gambas a guilho are more like some curry crap. Since when the traditional recipe has curcuma and bell pepper? If you call your dish "gambas a guilho", then bring me the classic version of it. Not the interpretation of your chef (?).. and yes, since you charge per grams, you have decided to leave heads- hahahha... seriously the worst tourists trap. Hey management? Do you know how this issue must be treated? A sorry from the waiter? Well, since you don't know, I will deal myself. Disgusting 🤢🤮 Ah yes, and in your style of apologies: muito obrigada e desculpa por um mal comentário

Great seafood restaurant with amazing sea views. We’ve shared “Mariscada Simples” and some octopus salad between my wife and me and we couldn’t finish all of it. The seafood plate offers plenty variability, both kinds of shrimp were incredibly juicy, crab was plain delicious, oysters came with sauce that complemented them well, everything else was just good. The stuff took good care of us and was generally helpful and pleasant. The parking at the restaurant is paid with the usual Cascais rates of <2EUR for 2 hours.

We had a great evening. The building looks rather old, but inside everything is new, bright and clean. Amazing views! The shrimp cocktail as a starter was perfectly fresh, the fish (sole and octopus) was very tasty, only the vegetables could have been more spicy. Wonderful experience and not at all expensive for the quality of this food and the atmosphere.
