Restaurante Duche Bar - Cascais — Restaurant in Cascais

While this place has a lovely view, the service and experience I had while visiting was atrocious. On June 23rd, I was with two tables of 9 people; two of whom live in the region. I ordered a Mojito cocktail and others ordered small bites and cocktails. The Mojito was not just average, but was pretty bad and tasted like sprite soda. I did not wish to insult whomever made the cocktail, but did politely tell the waiter it was not to my liking, and not very good and asked if I could switch to a Sangria, which most of the 9 in my party were already drinking. The server waved me off and said, "No. Oh well, that is too bad." I was incredulous, as were the others in my party. While others enjoyed their sangria's. I left the drink entirely and ordered a sangria, which was good, with another server. When our bill arrived, I noticed the Mojito on the bill and asked the server who I ordered the sangria with, to please remove it explaining what had happened, since our initial server never came back to our table. He brought out the manager (or owner) who said I could take the drink with in a cup, but had to pay for it. My instinct was, and this was what those who could understand Portuguese thought as well, was that the owner/manager did not get the correct story from the rude server. This literary became a public scene they created, embarrassing me greatly and accusing me of having drank the drink, and now the ice melted so it appeared as it it were full. It was horrible. I ended up just paying for everything, knowing I would write a bad review later, to save my companions and I from further trouble and embarrassment. Iv'e never been treated this way at an establishment, and wanted to warn other unsuspecting tourists of such behavior and treatment. Portugal is such a lovely country, filled with really nice and friendly people. I enjoyed every moment in Cascais and the rest of the region, as did my travel companions. I can't say enough good things about this country, but this place was the one...

Considering the location of this beachside bar/eaterie, the food was excellent value and alot cheaper than some of the more overpriced restaurants in Cascais. I plumped for a light lunch of sardines, which were fresh, well seasoned and cooked to perfection (crispy chargrilled skin and tender fish). My partner had cheeseburger and chips which was substantial, tasty and very good value. This isn't fine dining and doesnt pretend to be, its good well cooked wholesome food served by polite staff in a fabulous location looking out to the bay-...

Incredible bad service - waited to be seated & no staff took notice, seated ourselves & told we could only order drinks, ordered food at the bar & was given a buzzer to collect ourselves even though it’s table service then received our $40 seafood paella in a take away container with wooden cutlery. Paella only had one prawn, 2 calamari & the rest was a below average rice. Only positive was the view of the beach but not with the seriously disappointing...
