Ondas Sobre o Mar — Restaurant in Matosinhos

You have to request to see a menu as it’s the same menu as 80% of all dining places in Portugal, so you should know what you want when you sit down. One menu was to share when we are two people. Same uninteresting unhealthy options. Not a single vegetarian option other than cheese with bread. Sewage being pumped out during service was not great. All our plates arrived to the table at different times, it was a game to guess what might arrive next so the kitchen is not able to do a la carte. No direct ocean view so felt the pricing to quality and dining experience did not match for Portugal but I do also understand running this sort of business in this country.

Our server was refreshingly friendly but not sufficiently trained. The food was all out of the freezer or a processed packet. Not a home made quality experience but a white processed bread sort of place. The parking was handy but you’ll find 25 identical underwhelming experiences in less than 1km on...

I recently visited Ondas Sobre O Mar, and I wish I could say the experience was a culinary delight. However, the restaurant left me with a lingering sense of disappointment and utter disgust. The overcooked shrimp we were served resembled rubbery, flavorless blobs drenched in a pool of oil, with each bite making me question my decision to dine here.

The deep-fried cod was evidently sourced from frozen, its texture lifeless and soggy. It was as if the chef had never heard of the term "fresh seafood" before. The tasteless main course of cod and potatoes only exacerbated the situation. It seemed like the chef had forgotten to use any herbs, spices, or seasoning, making the dish as bland as a piece of cardboard.

In summary, Ondas Sobre O Mar is a prime example of a restaurant that serves poor quality seafood, devoid of any creativity or flavor. I urge anyone considering dining here to look elsewhere for a satisfying...

It was a hidden gem on. Our road trip. It’s an unassuming location but the food was outstanding! I had the soup, bread and coffee because I wasnt too hungry but it totally hit the spot. The soup had an amazing homemade flavored and it paired nicely with the bread. The coffee was very strong and hit just right

The others in our group loved their fish and turkey dishes and I tried one French fry. It was really tasty!

You get a beautiful view and the service was very friendly but you might need a translator if you don’t speaks da...
