Mandatory Eats. Carlos and his family and crew are what I aspire to be one day. He made a connection with every table. Asked us where we were from, thanked us for coming into his establishment. Brought me and wife into the kitchen to show us a dish he recommended. As an old chef, I appreciated the gesture and the spotless kitchen. Felt guilty not to eat that lovely fish stew for two as I was set on the grilled calamari. Served with chips,salad and a wonderful oil relish. Sea bass was pan seared in a light sauce with capers and garlic.. cooked wonderfully crispy yet not over cooked. Starters are simple and straight forward presented at the table, olives, shrimp, cheese breads.. vino verde cold and in an ice bath…this is a place where they lead you through an experience, not just a place that feeds you. Carlos joined us for a fast Porto before he sent us off.. bravo to this eatery and I’m most likely driving back in the next days and will wait happily to...

This place left me without words.

There was a long queue outside but Mister Carlos gave me (and the others) a glass of wine for the long wait while outside. To smooth the long wait But reminding us that we were very welcome at this restaurant.

The food was out of this world. I would give it 6 stars if I could. I went for dinner alone and him and his team were very special always asking if everything was ok. Very friendly and hard working.

I had pasta with seafood, a sangria and a dessert Calle something with granny in Portuguese.

But if the whole experience wasn’t good enough, in the end, mister Carlos toasted with me and gave me ice for my knee that was in pain.. and he even gave me cream to take to hotel with me so I could put it on my knee in the night !!!!

I picked the perfect place to go for dinner on my last night in Nazaré. I will never forgive it.

Thanks a lot. You do a great job and coming to this place is worth every...
