O Pescador — Restaurant in Sesimbra

Got the carapau and a swordfish dish, both tasted fine. There was a hair in my side of boiled potatoes. Husband and I shared a dessert (a tarte), and he mentioned that it tasted like when a dessert has been sitting in the refrigerator for a while.

The staff are not the friendliest, they seemed offended when we didn't want some of the couvert 'options', and the few times we asked for things (another bottle of water, another beer) they made it seem like an inconvenience. Won't be back to inconvenience them again.
