Trem Velho — Restaurant in Cascais

Got sizzling prawns with garlic appetiser for sharing and this was excellent. There were 4 in our party. Each had varying experience. Son had a burger that was extremely rare in the middle. This might be acceptable to some but not to his taste so that was a disappointment. I had steak in pepper sauce. The sauce was very nice. I'd asked for medium steak but it was definitely medium rare. It was still OK but I'd have preferred medium. I didn't make a fuss and return it. Other son had pork ribs and sausage and that was very good. Wife had a steak that was cooked as she asked ie well done and that was fine. We had two desserts both eing the oreo mousse which was very nice. So a bit of a mixed experience. Staff were very friendly. It's probably worth another try but not on this...

PT and EN Um lugar bem aconchegante de fato, literalmente em um vagão de trem. A comida é boa, o piano (costela), é boa mas nem sempre é, ontem de fato estava muito boa, provavelmente foi cozida em fogo lento, os outros pratos um com molho de pimentas é muito saboroso. Fica um ponto negativo pelo atendimento, estava a correr tudo bem, um senhor grisalho começou a nos atender e super bem, até um outro empregado de mesa (Nuno acredito eu), muito arrogante, e mau educado, das poucas(3x) vezes que veio até a nossa mesa, nos tratou mau e com grosseria. Fica a dica, vale a pena visitar, mas se quem for atender for um rapaz alto, cabelo preto (estilo tigelinha), fujam, sua expedi não será boa.

A very cozy place indeed, literally inside a train carriage. The food is good, the “piano” (pork ribs) is good, but not always. Yesterday, it was indeed very good, probably slow-cooked. The other dishes, one with a pepper sauce, are very tasty.

A downside is the service. Everything was going well—an older gentleman with gray hair started serving us, and he was excellent. However, another waiter (I believe his name was Nuno) was very arrogant and rude. On the few occasions (three times) he came to our table, he treated us poorly and with rudeness.

Here’s a tip: it’s worth visiting, but if the person serving you is a tall guy with black hair (bowl cut style), avoid it—your experience won’t...

Avoid this place. The beef with peppers was not good at all. And my wife choose the pasta with shrimps... Both dishes were terrible. 1 extra star for the entries...

But... Better look another restaurant if you are in Cascais.

About the ambient... The place is close, the tables is near each other. The people that clean the tables uses some liquid and smell all the place around... Yeah... They keep clean... But the people around...
