One of the best seafood dinners, ever.

Dear local friends recommended Majára. What a gem. Ambience is classy, a place to have a nice family dinner, a date or a fabulous time with friends who appreciate excellent food. No dress code detected, but do your best to make it a special time. This is a nice restaurant that takes care of every detail!

Greeter, waiter were very friendly. Augustin, our waiter, was funny, energetic, very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. His recommendations were spot on. Timing and rhythm of service was perfect, and no interruptions to our family chat.

On to the food. We eat excellent seafood regularly. Majára is among the top. Jumbo grilled shrimp was very tasty, added butter made an explosive party of taste in my mouth. The seafood platter was very generous, with plenty of shrimp, crab, prawns, persebe (barnacle) that were juicy, expertly prepared, tasty and incredibly fresh. Our waiter made an excellent pairing with local Vino Verdhe and showed us the fresh jumbo camarao. Salmon plate was also very tasty and a great option for those in your party that prefer fish over mariscos. Bread was freshly baked and buttery.

Creme Brule toped the night, but the star of the show was the incredible seafood platter.

Thank you team Majára. We...

Lovely seafood restaurant with amazing staff. A group of 5 of us plus a 1 year old stopped here for lunch. Seafood is fresh and amazing. So flavourful and well cooked.

We shared between 4 and had leftovers for dinner. My husband had the Special Fransesinia which he really recommends. The meat was very tender. The staff were super friendly and helpful, knew when to make conversation and checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. Very baby friendly with a High chair that actually has a foot stool and not just a cheap Ikea one. It was clean and comfortable. The baby change was also clear and comfortable. All in all would come here again and would...
