Formiga — Restaurant in Sesimbra

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying drinks and snacks at O Formiga in Sesimbra, Portugal, and it was a truly delightful experience. The highlight of my visit as undoubtedly the garlic prawns – they were absolutely fantastic!

The prawns were cooked to perfection, with a rich and flavourful garlic sauce that was simply irresistible. I highly recommend pairing them with bread to soak up every last drop of the delicious sauce – it's a match made in culinary heaven.

The atmosphere at Taverna Alfacinha is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a wonderful experience.

If you find yourself in Sesimbra, make sure to visit O Formiga. The garlic prawns are a must-try, and I promise you won't be disappointed. I look forward to...

OMG, delicious! When I came to do this review, I realised they did meals and read the excellent reviews. We are only here for 2 more days, but we will go there again before we leave....A true family...
