Paparoca Saloia — Restaurant in Cascais

Hayoooooo this was epic. A semi-small diner run by an elderly couple just bringing the.best.food. Truly, this rocked our day. The food is simple and beautifully made. Everything is prepared on the spot, even the fries are handmade. You walk into this restaurant and are charmed by both the cluttered style of interior as well as the kind generosity of the proprietors. As I said, the food is pretty straightforward but full of flavour and effort. Prices are reasonable and the place invites you to have a good time. We shared three main dishes, after having two small starters and ended up having 4 desserts too. Because of the pandemic it was very calm but I can imagine it’s something else entirely when you’re visiting in...

A bit overpriced but good quality fresh food. The place looks lovely, decorated with many traditional Portuguese symbols.

At this price point (€14-15 a dish) we can find more sophisticated Portuguese restaurants and maybe get better servings, but it won't be easy to beat this cozy and lovely atmosphere. Plus, they serve few exquisite dishes and homemade desserts that you may not easily find elsewhere.

It makes a great place for the occasional dinner out with a group of friends...

Definitely a must try when in the Estoril area! the restaurant feels like the owners home where they welcome their guests with big smiles and something even hugs! We had the couvert with a dorada with vegetables and veggie plate mainly with rice and vegetables. Not 5 stars as the service became a bit slow when it got crowded and the flavours of the veggie plate...
