The sauces with the shellfish were delicious. The platters for two are a great selection. Worth a try.

If I can give you advice, it would be to go to the next door (restaurant o pescador), which is much better at all levels: food, price and service. read more If I can give you advice, it would be to go to the next door (restaurant o pescador), which is much better at all levels: food, price and service.

The fish was really tasty but not very hot, I wonder if it had been sat in the kitchen before coming out. Other people’s seafood looked great so I don’t want to put people off going.

One of the parties ordered tuna steak and the waiter didn't even ask how we wanted it to be cooked and we had to ask that it is medium/razy. When it arrived, it was medium/good done and looked quite dry and not very appealing. The other two guests of the party had the seafood they enjoyed. There was a TV in the restaurant and there was more of a violent/bleeding movie that wasn't really suitable for eating. The staff was pleasant, and the place was cleaned, but I would not visit or recommend as there are better places to eat in Cascais.
