The waiter brought us bread, olive oil, olives before we could digest the menu, without asking and charged us for it.

After a bit of a struggle trying to find some place that offered vegan options (besides Indian food and Beyond Burgers), we came upon Your Healthy Kitchen, located on the second floor within the TimeOut Cascais Marketplace. We grabbed a seat out on the balcony overlooking the fresh farmers' market. Our wait staff was young and welcoming. We shared an appetizer of guacamole and chips, which hit the hunger pangs. For my main, I went with the Tofu Poké Bowl. It was a large bowl stuffed with mouthwatering goodness; really refreshing and 100% satisfying. I don't normally do desserts, but I couldn't turn down the opportunity to try their vegan "Snickers" dessert. OMG, it tasted just like a frozen Snickers bar! And three enormously filling chunks, to boot! YUM!!! Needless to say, I was stuffed to the brim when all was said and done. Again, wait staff was super friendly and attentive. (Jay went with a curry tofu dish and thoroughly enjoyed his order, as well.) Overall, it was a very fine and filling late-lunch, and would definitely come again! :D

Even in Portugal you can find raw vegan! Mom and I didn't want anything too heavy but we also…read morewanted to have a treat. We shared homemade hummus with carrots and celery, a vegan cashew cheesecake with açai/blueberries and a chocolate bliss smoothie. The smoothie has Brazil nuts- which I'm allergic to and they were very accommodating to make mine without. It was one of the best chocolate smoothies I've ever had. Rich, chocolatey with undertones of banana (so I guess if you're not a fan of banana, then maybe this isn't for you) But we loved it! Lovely staff, a little slow to take the order but we're in Portugal and that's pretty typical here. Very clean toilets. Great location right by the train station and the Cascais bus.

Nothing was even close to being mediocre, from the pappadam to the mixed pickles. The Shahi shrimp was truly fit for royalty in a rich, creamy cashew sauce, their take on a mint and coriander tandoori chicken is stunning and their aloo Gobi is out of this world. You can't miss with this restaurant. There are a zillion places that try and get you in, Ghandi Palace has a guy at the door, he'll bring you in but he's a doorman not a tout, honest food, excellent prices. Eat here. Regrets? You'll have none.

After an amazing day exploring Cascais I couldn't leave without eating here. We order the three sauces , house wine, mushroom pilau rice and lamb curry. The service was wonderful.

This place had quite a few tripadvisor awards which drew us in for a quick lunch. They have a vast…read moreselection of menu items, which is enough for any palate. Here's the rundown of the food we ordered: - Butter chicken: every place you go to will prepare it differently, and this place was heavy on the cream, butter, cashews, and earthy spices as opposed to hot spices - Mixed tandoori: meat was cooked well and was tender - it was falling off the bone - Garlic / plain naan: both were great, this was honestly my favourite part as the naan was very fluffy and perfectly cooked - Rice: plain basmati rice, nothing out of the ordinary Overall would say this is a very solid spot, worth checking out. The food was good, however the spice level was extremely mild, even for the spicy versions - it would've been great if they added a bit more heat to their dishes.

The restaurant had a small indoor area but the few tables outside were where you should sit. We ordered apps and by the time they arrived there were people already waiting for an open table (reservation recommended). The staff was helpful and provided great recommendations. The grilled polvo was amazing. One of the most tender octopuses I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Given the opportunity I would definitely return.

It's a tiny place with less than 20 seats inside, but weather permitting they expand to outside seating in weekends starting Friday. Run by a very friendly lady who speaks good English. The menu revolves around Octopus (hence the restaurant's name) and this focus pays off; it's simply an irresistible journey of extremely tastefully prepared starters and main courses of octopus, accompanied with potatoes, homemade chips (UK: crisps) and greens. If you're looking for something non-touristy and high quality, at very reasonable prices, then make sure you reserve a table and try this gem!

Um... what? I can't order a bowl of rice at a sushi restaurant?? When our food finally arrived, after 40 minutes of waiting (and only TWO other customers in the restaurant) our food was just gross and awful. Weirdly, she did end up bringing us a bowl of rice for our daughter after all... and it was dry. Yup, the lazy "chef" messed up plain rice! Unbelievable. How is this place still in business?? I want my money back.

Food was exquisitely prepared (a notch above the touristy stuff I sampled elsewhere) and the service was attentive and quick. I had the ceviche app (octopus salad was sold out) and sea bass with coriander rice. Both were excellent. The ceviche was fresh, tasty and you are given a good amount. Hard to tell what everything was, but there were definitely different kinds of shellfish and fish in there. The sea bass was cooked just right and the accompaniments were perfect. Presentation was also very cool as the thin filets were rolled into two spirals (without breaking). All in for two courses, glass of wine and tip was 44 Euros.

My favorite spot. Honestly it's one of those spots I don't want to write a review about, because I…read morewant to keep it a secret. But here goes, because "sharing is caring". Food/drinks are self-service here, which means you straight walk in to the cafe and order to your left. You'll take your drinks (coffee, etc.), and they'll bring the food out to you. They have a menu in both Portuguese and English, but the menu isn't always visible so just ask them for one and they'll pull one right up from the counter. I like their Dutch Sandwiches (I think those were what they called it), which is basically like flatbread sandwiches. The sandwiches and salads are prepared onsite, surprisingly - you wouldn't think they can actually cook much in such a small kitchen/counter space. Their pastries are ok too, but I don't think the pastries are prepared there. Note that "cafe" in Portugal basically means an espresso. You can also order your coffee decaf, but it'll still be an espresso. If you want something milder, like the American cup o' joe, ask for an Abatanado - I didn't see it on the menu in this cafe, but usually other Portuguese cafes have this option. They do have Garoto, which they call "latte", but really it's just the same espresso with maybe three teaspoons of milk (atleast it tasted that way) - don't expect to find the typical latte you would get in the States. If you're okay with very milky coffee (milkier than the standard American latte), order a Galao (usually about three quarters of the cup is milk) or Meia de Leite ("Half Milk" = half of the cup is milk). The cafe is pretty small, about 5~6 picnic tables outside, where you can see the Dune and the Ocean from afar. They always keep a bowl full of water for dogs, and hence my family calls it the "dog cafe". They also have indoor seating, but it tends to be a little warmer and a bit stuffy. Still, nice natural colors. Parking is a bit tricky here, especially the way out - which is typical of parking lots in Portugal, since they seem to have smaller individual car spaces than the ones in California usually do. Be careful not to scratch any other car on your way out! Tip: You can walk down the dune from this cafe. Just follow where the people are going, or follow the signs! It's a narrow walk, but quite nice. Many people either jog or walk with their dogs.
