Xakra Beach Bar — Restaurant in Peniche

Lovely setting, great service, fantastic sunset and food is very good, but not cheap. Came here because of the reviews - you need to walk across the sand from the bridge or up an unlit path from the car park, so better if you do it when it is light! Very nicely laid out with inside and out. I got 500g fish plus a couple of glasses of house wine bill came to just under €35 Came here again with my wife in Sept. 2021 and she said it was the best in Peniche. Again in Sept.2022solo and have decided it’s the place to be for a sunset meal….as good as ever…43€ for tuna pate starter + cod main course and a bottle of white wine…wonderful!! Back in 2023 as a couple and had to finish before 6.30pm as it es fully booked (Sunday). We had Cuttlefish to start and then Cod plus salad and a bottle of house white wine. They were as excellent as expected and the service still great. Total came to just over €100, so not cheap, but excellent. Here in 2024 - Thursday early evening solo on a sunny and warm day. I arrived at 5 o’clock and was greeting very well and able to eat my early dinner with no problem - how wonderful! It is very well looked after with comfortable chairs, clean tables inside and out plus a wonderful view of the beach, sea and sunset. I ordered the braised octopus and a mixed salad plus a recommended bottle of white wine - lovely! 15 minutes later it arrived and was absolutely beautiful - great in both quality and quantity. The cost came to €40 which is not cheap, but...

Park on the beaten track and walk 100 metres on to the first structure to your right, on the beach. Get some sand in your shoes and you know you are in the right direction! The young waiters exchange comfortably in Spanish and English. The food here has some added variations to the standard fare in most Portuguese eateries. That said, some of menu tariffs are not inexpensive. However, there are some exceptions such as the Hamburgers that are also designated DOP regional meat. These are reasonably prices and if you are a fries person these are extra. In summer they won't serve sandwiches and grilled toast etc around the lunch hour so prepare to have more than just a snack. I would guess they can oblige with take-out snacks? We opted for octopus salad that was good though above average in cost. We also chose the Camarão Xakra (6 medium sized prawns cut in half). Don't attempt to do this slicing at home without a sharp knife! Again, price of these were above the average out there. Dipping the bread in the remains of the crustacean sauce is recommended to add the calories. Overall, for a beach bar they have a winning formula as the view and service invite the punters. The fare gets a 7/10 at a...

My favorite place in Peniche when it comes to food. Yes, they are not cheap, but: They have one of the best "sapateira recheada". Anyone who loves the stuff knows when it's good and when it's not. And here it is excellent. It's not just about whether the inside of the legs is juicy, but also whether you can enjoy the "mixture". Been there probably thirty times in the last three years. I ate various fish and squid there. Extremely good every time. What I also like: Having a burger after surfing. It was a bit bigger three years ago, but still good. A little tip, if you think it's a bit too expensive, you should just go there for lunch, they have a daily special, which is always very good. But above all, this should not be forgotten: the team is simply a bomb. For real. So sweet, so good and so professional. Just great. And finally: It is the best place to enjoy the sunset, this view of the harbor entrance, of the waves and the surfers. Just awesome. (If I could recommend anything to the restaurant, it would really only be to have something more green and vegetarian things. And above all: really good salads, which can also be used as a main course. Your salads, at least the ones I ate,...
