    Sangria was SO refreshing!
    Theresa R.

    Up from the Main Street and busy Cascias alleys is this little gem. We were greeted immediately and sat down at a lovely patio table where you could feel the cool breeze up from the bay. We had a pitcher of Sangria that was amazing and so refreshing. I had the grilled octopus, and my friend had the steak, and we shared local cheeses and Portuguesas sausage. It was all very good. The octopus was so very tender and sautéed with butter and garlic in a bed of roasted fingerling potatoes. The steak was very flavorful, in a pool of gravy with a fresh fried egg, and a mound of crispy French fries. The cheese and sausage plats were plentiful and the bread and crackers were a perfect accompaniment. Worth the trip up the hill for a visit. The octopus was worth the visit, alone!!

    Grilled Octopus

    Delicious food. We ordered the Grilled Octopus, Cod Au Gratin, and the catch of the day - Sea Bream. The staff was so kind to let us come in about 15 minutes early while our 4 year old slept in the stroller. They also gave us top knotch service. The grilled octopus was one of the best I've had so far in Portugal and the Cod Au Gratin was very unique and is a must try. When in Cascais you might be tempted to eat at a restaurant on the water with a view but I highly recommend getting off the beaten path and coming here.

    The best octopus in the kingdom! The garlic shrimp was incredibly delicious also! The owner is quite the character. Very motherly. Makes you feel like you are sitting in her kitchen at home. Lot's of nice touches especially at the end of your meal. Dined there twice while we were in Cascais and wanted to go back a third time.

    Grilled Octopus and white sangria

    My family ate here based on a recommendation from a friend who lives in the area. Oh man am I glad we did! The food was excellent, the service was warm inviting, and fast! It is very family friendly, they had special kid cups and plates for our small kids. the grilled octopus was my favorite (i am still thinking about it, it was so delicious! ) the dessert was also incredible! If you are looking for delicious, reasonably priced traditional Portuguese food, this is the place to come!

    Went here twice during our stay in Cascais it was our favorite meal while in Portugal. It's a small restaurant with very friendly people. The polvo/ grilled octopus was INCREDIBLE. Even down to the side potatoes were delicious. The second time around we came we had fish of day sea bass which was also the best sea bass I've ever had . Incredible food at reasonable prices. At the end of the meal they give you a souvenir mini Polaroid to remember your meal and also some port and almond liquor on the house. This is a meal to be remembered for a long time.

    Best service in all of Portugal! After being treated rudely by a couple restaurants, we came here after seeing all the good reviews. The servers were so kind and welcoming. They were so helpful and the food was amazing. We had the fish and chips and the fried cuttlefish and loved them. They were crispy and delicious. We also had the berry topped cheesecake that was delightful. The servers take a polaroid picture of you and give you the picture to keep at the end of the meal! We also got complimentary almond wine at the end, which topped of this amazing experience. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're in Cascais!

    Octopus

    This restaurant is just what we wanted: friendly atmosphere, good service and excellent food. We often eat octopus and this may be the best I ever had!

    No joke, the best meal we had in Lisbon!…read more A Nossa Casa was recommended to us by a local when we were at her jewelry store, and she did not lead us astray. When we walked in, the restaurant felt so warm and cozy, like we had just entered someone's home (fitting for the restaurant name). It must have been our lucky day, as they have one table they set aside for walk-ins by the front door, and it was free and ours! The table was different than the rest of the tables in the place. Imagine a living room set-up - the table was lower like a coffee table and the chairs were comfy arm chairs, and we sat next to the window filled with hanging plants and greenery. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, though - we watched countless people be turned away at the locked door since they were fully booked up. But we didn't feel rushed at all - the host/owner spent the time with us to go over the entire menu and his wine recommendations - I landed on a bottle of vinho verde that was bright and crisp. He and his Brazilian chef wife created a menu that is a fusion of their two cultures, and the food is outstanding. We had a razor clams dish that was so good, it was my first time having razor clams and I'm a huge fan of them now. I cannot wait to go back if I'm ever in Portugal again!

    I liked it so much I went back for lunch. Easily the best steaks in Portugal. Also delicious foie,…read morecarpaccio, wagyu with caviar on top. Try the stinton sauce and get the chateaubriand. In my opinion, its better than the chuleton. Get the mashed potatoes. They're also delicious and so are the roasted tomatoes that come with the steak. Finish with the chocolate dessert. It is amazing.

    Great meat ruined by arrogant service…read more ​We dined at Sala de Corte last night with high expectations, but the shockingly poor service completely ruined the evening. ​The Good: The meat itself was fantastic quality and cooked perfectly. ​The Bad: ​Order mix-ups: The staff delivered the wrong steaks to each of us. Because the waiter didn't speak English, there was no explanation of the cuts, leaving us to figure out whose plate was whose. ​Arrogant sommelier: When we asked for a wine recommendation, the sommelier suggested a bottle for nearly €200. When we asked for something in the €70-€80 range, he condescended to us, asking if it was "our first time at a restaurant"--despite their menu having options as low as €30 . ​Disappointing management & service charge: I raised our frustration with the manager, who took over for the rest of the meal and brought the bill. He had automatically added a 10% tip, brushing it off as just a "suggestion." When I voiced my surprise at this level of service and the automatic tip addition, he looked down on us and simply ignored the feedback. ​Lisbon has far too many world-class dining options with top-tier hospitality to justify paying premium prices just to be looked down on by the staff. Save your money and go elsewhere.
