First of all, the current picture on this listing is not Bar do Guincho, it is the much more rustic spot down on the sand by the beach rentals. We absolutely loved this place. We were staying in a beautiful Airbnb just up the hill northwest a mile. We could see Guincho, but Bar do Guincho is tucked up just off the beach with a big beautiful open deck with glass railings. Other outdoor sections are more protected from the frequent wind, and then there is a great room indoors with a big fireplace for the off season. Service was awesome. Each table had a unique QR code on a caddy that allowed you to not just see the menu but order at your own pace and also pay at the end. They also offer regular table service for curmudgeons and luddites. (just joking!) We ordered the delicious passion fruit sangria and it arrived in 5 minutes. All of our food was excellent, particulary the Portuguese fried shrimp (sauteed to Americans!) and the ceviche. The fries and bread were also delicious. You will not find a more beautiful view or a better vibe. We never go back to the same place during a short visit but we hit Bar do Guincho twice in three days. Can't wait to return next visit! read more

Death of a legend... the Guincho burger used to be an undisputed champion of burgers and now I'm afraid that it has lost its way. Very disappointing but still a fantastic view and overall atmosphere. On the Plus side the Octopus was rather tasty. Will give the burger another chance in the hopes of redemption. read more

The location is amazing!! That right there gives it 5 stars! And surprisingly the food was good too. You never know when a place has a beach vibe and a great view. It can be all about the view and the food can be lackluster. This place did not disappoint. We ordered grilled cheese, vegetarian salad, veggie burgers, fries and drinks. The entire table was satisfied. It is choose your own seating and then you get in line to order food. You bring it to your table also. The view is this amazing little beach surrounded by jagged cliffs. We went at sunset. The landscape is full of colorful windsurfers. It was one of the best moments of my life! We attended with a baby and two toddlers. They had high chairs. Great place. read more

I have been going to this place for over 10 years. Prices have tripled and quality has plummeted. Elevator music playing in the background. Just go to the amazing beach and skip the bar! read more

The most awesome beach bar! Great Cocktails. Awesome Burgers and just a cool place to hang out!

In April of 2017, my wife and I stumbled across this wonderful restaurant in Guincho, tucked away in a cove overlooking the surfer's beach. We had a delightful and simple meal - panini sandwiches with a bottle of crisp white wine - while seated by the railing overlooking the beach. You order at the counter then pick up your meal when ready - easy and fast. The view is superb and the people-watching fantastic. More importantly, after our meal, while walking on the beach far from the restaurant, my wife cut her foot fairly badly on a stone buried in the sand. We returned to the restaurant and they provided wonderful assistance - helping us to clean out the injury and get it bandaged up. They were incredibly helpful and calming and turned what could have been a bad situation into what we look back upon as a wonderful day. From the great food and wine to the views to the great assistance in an emergency situation, I cannot recommend Bar do Guincho highly enough. read more

Lovely beach bar - food basic but good and chilled place to watch the waves come in. Don't go for the gourmet food (it isn't). Do come for people watching and beers in a beuatiful setting read more

This is the beach water whole at Guincho beach. It's great and you get a great gin or sangria, but the food menu offers very little for someone that is not keen on burgers and other type of junk food. But it's a nice place. read more
