Pérola da Cruz de Pau — Restaurant in Seixal

It's a bit crowded, but it's fairly easy to get a good (and cheap) traditional Portuguese food in this place. You should ask for the daily dishes 😜 We had the fried squid with bean rice! It was amazing, the squid was tender and soft, and the rice was well made and paired nicely with the squid. My mother had the chickpea and cow dish (called 'mao de Vaca com grao') which was fairly tasty! We wished there was more meat but the portion was pretty big for one person

The environment is traditional Portuguese but...

Loved it.... Food was delicious.....people are very nice and make you feel at home...... 5 stars because I can't give 10.... Went back today 14th of January and let me tell you that the cozido à portuguesa was marvellous...... I will carry on giving 10 stars and...

Dos piores restaurantes que fui, pedimos bife á pérola e caldeirada.

No início, mal chegamos, pedimos uma sangria que chegou quase a meio da refeição, demorou uns 45minutos, tivemos de pedir imperiais antes para não comermos a seco.

O bife vinha tão batido de martelo que parecia já estar mastigado, para além disso vinha a nadar em óleo.

A caldeirada, vinha com batatas partidas a meio que ocupavam quase metade do prato, sem sabor e com fatias de pão inteiras, a ponto de ser quase impossível cortar e separar o peixe.

Para terminar da melhor forma, fomos incomodados com um vendedor de rua a vender artefactos de madeira, e ao pedirmos para não ser incomodados o senhor riu-se de nós e ainda gozou por termos dito tal coisa, como se tivéssemos a pedir algo de especial.

Não recomendo...
