Tapiocaria da Eli — Restaurant in Cascais

This family owned restaurant, located at 198 Avenida Gaspar - Corte Real in Cascais, is terrific and soooo reasonable. Although the restaurant is small (the outside has the look of a snack-bar) but dont let that fool you...it is spic span clean and the food is fresh and delicious. The 1st time we ventured in for a late evening coffee and a sweet treat, the very first thing we noticed was the atmosphere was super friendly and the kitchen was spotless and that is important to us, the desserts were great and coffee was very good, thus we decided to come back the next day to try the meals - best decision we've made. All the food is purchased and cooked fresh daily, mainly specials each day. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, they will cook whatever you wish (for real) nothing is too hard for them. They cook traditional Portuguese and Brazilian food. We came back several times since then and they made us amazing dishes of delicious fresh fish, (the salmon is the best), seafood rice, meat dishes, salads, all freshly cooked as daily specials and also meals made to order, all so reasonably priced - beats us cooking. This was a found treasure for us. We Love it here....

The service was very friendly and attentive (we were not made to feel bad for not speaking Portuguese yet 🙌🏼) It doesn't have an ocean view (upstairs of a local mini-mall (bonus: Amazon return is downstairs at the small shop with DHL sign and gift wrap/ office supplies on the window - inside, just around a turn), but it does have 80s music videos playing in the TV inside (so good!!! I had forgotten how much I loved those 🤩) - and the price is about 50% of the restaurants that tourists eat at 🤷🏼. We will definitely be back - happy to support a small, wonderful...

Great little restaurant in the community minutes away from the beach. The service is amazing and the owners/servers truly appreciate their customers. We ate there several times and they were always welcoming and making sure we were happy. The food was traditional and very well priced. Great fish meal for under $9 Euros and $2 more for the beer to wash it down! The menu is listed each day on a specials board. The produce is purchased fresh daily. If they ran out of anything they simply ran down to the grocery store in the...
