HOWM BALEAL — Restaurant in Peniche

We had lunch here and the food was exceptional. I had sea bass, potatoes, and vegetables and an Americano. My husband had grilled octopus with creamed chickpeas, ginger beer, and a green juice. We also shared the burrata salad. All absolutely fantastic. This place has the vibe during the daytime that you could come work on your laptop in a cozy corner with a coffee or you could have a lunch date. The server was friendly. And the location is on the main stretch in Baleal so it is very accessible and nearby...

Got seriously food poisoned a few days ago (Saturday 31st if August) with Chicken Ramen that I actually eat there so often there and its my favourite. This time the stock had a strangly whitish colour and different taste, did not look so clear as usual (for sure I eat at least 10 ramens in this place before). I decided to eat it anyways and had the worse night ever after. Now a few days later I still cannot think about the food, still feel sick. Guys, take care of your food...

The staff here are amazing! I’ve never seen all staff work so hard and fast at a pub, Sage in particular was so friendly and for someone who was only on her 2nd week here, it looked like she ran the place. The chef on the other hand needs some work. After having to return the poke bowl because it was simply inedible, the beef burger I got as a replacement was basically raw. My partner had one the first night which was great, so I was disappointed with the inconsistency...
