When I asked my friend in Lisbon where to go for seafood, she told us that she usually go to…read moreSetubal for seafood as the ones in Lisbon is not quite as fresh. Then another Portuguese local recommended this place. We didn't come during peak lunch hour, but the place was still rather busy. This place is not exact on the waterfront, separated from it by a wide street, though the view is quite open. We are glad the menu is available in English and the waiter is also fluent in English. We ordered a sole, and a risotto. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dinner, the quality of seafood is very good, and the price very reasonable. There are lots of seafood restaurants lining the street and as it was our first time eating here we don't know how it measures up to its neighbors, but it was definitely a pleasure experience.

Halfway into a very informative historical tour of Portugal, our tour guide informed us that we…read morewould be having lunch at Restaurante O Miguel. Since he is a local, he highly recommended that we order the Fried Squid meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly employee that led us to a table within the outdoor seating area. After providing us with menus, we ordered one fried squid meal and two glasses of the Periquita Rosé. 10 minutes later our meal arrived at our table. The fried squid was absolutely delicious. It was perfectly fried so that the exterior of the squid was crispy (not dry), and the inside was surprisingly juicy. The pairing of fries with the squid was so delightful that we ordered a second fried squid meal to share amongst ourselves. The Periquita Rosé was just ok in our opinions. However, my wife and I are not fans of Rosé, we merely tried it because our tour guide recommended it. We ended up ordering a round of the Planalto dry white wine, which was better in our opinions. If the fried squid meal was an accurate depiction of how the other meals on their menu taste, I'm disappointed that we couldn't have revisited this restaurant at least two more times. I HIGHLY recommended this restaurant to any seafood lover!

We've been in Setubal almost a week and eaten out two meals a day. This restaurant is the best we…read morehave discovered. It has a great atmosphere--beautifully decorated and very romantic. And the food is outstanding. Love the amazing Shrimp dish with ginger, garlic and chilis. It's not spicy just very flavorful! The grilled veggies and tomato rice are also delicious. We also love the lemon tart (pie): best dessert ever! On top of all this, the service is great, servers are so nice and personable. Thank you to Rachel, Pamella, Andre, Filipa, and all others we met in this lovely restaurant!

It is nothing fancy, however, you get to pick out your own fresh fish and they will grill it for you. The salads are waste of time but potatoes are delicious.

One thing I really liked is at the end of their luncheon, the owner sits with all the staff and they share their meal before siesta, definitely nice to see.

It was always wonderful and the service fast and friendly. The place has been full every day of the week, including dead-season winter months. The meals I would recommend is any grilled fish (dourada, seabass, salmonette, sardines, etc). Seafood rice is delicious. Also try any Cataplana dish. It is a rich fish stew with potatoes, onions, bell peppers, etc. As far as wine, try Ermelinda house wine. We only drank white, it was great and inexpensive. Bon appetite!

I've visit this restaurant every time I'm in Setubal and I'm never disappointed. You'll be greeted…read moreby one of two owners who speak great English. I was able to select my dish from the fish display which I learned is restocked daily. I always start with the choco frito which is similar to fast food fish and chips but the fish is denser, like a scallop. It is always very good. They have beer on tap and an excellent house wine as well as many other options. I stick to the beer. If you're adventurous you should try the sardines, locals swear by them but I've never been able to get all the bones out. The bones are not much of an issue if you've ever eaten fish. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, I've never been disappointed when dining here. It's a casual environment, you can catch a football game (soccer) on one of the large TVs and they typically have music playing. At the right time of year street performers will come by and entertain you if you're sitting on the patio area. The patio look out over the harbor and makes for an excellent backdrop for a casual lunch. I'll be back in October and I'll be heading there for sure, I'll be sure to add a few pictures to my review.
