The weird thing about the Crow Bar is that it's in Cascais, not Bairro Alto. The weird thing about…read moreBairro Alto is that there are no rock bars. The other weird thing about the Crow Bar, a rock bar in Cascais and not in Bairro Alto, is that it's customer base doesn't appear to be long-haired metalheads. We first went in the summer of 2016 and we were very happy to go back (quite a few times) in September, 2018. Bruno is a good bartender and very friendly (in his own way). His colleague, a very pretty, tattooed lady, was a bit shy but nice. Where else can you get a caneca and a bottle of Heineken for a total of only €4.50? I'll tell you where - the bar across from the train station in Tunes (Silves) down in the south of Portugal! But you won't hear any rock and roll there! I don't know who owns this bar but my God, I hope they make enough money here to keep it open. We're rockers and even if it isn't a rock crowd (when we've been there), at least it's rock! And beer! Cheap beer!

I visited Na Medida last night with a group of friends and I really enjoyed the place. It's tucked…read moreinto a local neighborhood in the outskirts of Cascais square. Their selection of beer is great with lots of craft options, including Portuguese crafts and locals. They can serve you in the bar area or tables or you can serve yourself inside and try any of their taps by ml, imperial or pint sizes. We also ordered a few of their Turkish pizzas and you can tell they're homemade and they all tasted delicious. I got to chat with the owner for a bit and he was really nice and passionate about his business. All in all, if you live or are visiting the area, check out Na Medida and enjoy a few crafts with great artesanal pizza.

I was dining solo, and while that's never ideal for tapas (I can only order so many dishes for just me!) it's still very friendly for solo diners and I had two dishes (summer octopus and goat cheese salad, both to die for) and dessert (also a must here!). I really came for the cocktails, and those exceeded my expectations. So much so that I couldn't help but order three! If you're in Cascais even for one night, make a reservation here. If they don't have your ideal time online, give them a call. I was initially only able to book a 9:30 pm reservation and when I called, they were willing to change this to whatever time I wanted.

Within less than a minute, a man approached and told us we needed to pay inside, which we agreed to do. As we were still taking off our clothes and preparing to head in, a woman named Camini suddenly stormed out in a rage and threatened to kick us out. Her behavior was shockingly rude and aggressive. I've never in my life been treated with such disrespect. When I went inside to clarify the situation, she threw a tantrum for no reason and started yelling that she was the owner. Throughout the entire encounter, we remained calm, but we were humiliated in front of others - all within just two minutes of arriving. We ended up paying 40 euros just to be yelled at and disrespected. This experience ruined the start of our beach day, and we will be warning others not to visit this place if they want a pleasant experience. Avoid it.

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!

First off, you need to make a reservation. The restaurant is small and very popular. I was able to…read moremake a reservation for the same day though, because luckily Portugal had a World Cup match that night. We sat inside the cantina side. Our server was adorable and bubbly with a great sense of humor. She did get really busy though toward the end of our meal and it was a challenge to flag her down for our check. With that said, she provided exceptional service earlier. This is the kind of place you want to go to with others who love tasting a variety of dishes. I went with my family who is not into that concept, and so I had to choose just one dish that I would not be sharing, as no one else wanted to share theirs either. Some of the dishes were quite small, but mine was not! I ordered the octopus which was cooked to perfection and had a mix of potatoes and greens underneath. Would definitely order this again! It was one of the best octopus dishes I've ever had. The one thing we did share was the croquettes. They were delightful, but kind of expensive as they were 1.70Euros each and were literally one bite, but a very flavorful bite at that. I also had a few glasses of their summer sangria which I rather enjoyed. I would return here when in Cascais again, but maybe with a different group of people so that we can treat it as tapas as it should be instead of individual dishes. There's so much more I want to try from their menu!

My wife and I did not have a reservation but were able to get seated inside (small inside area but…read moreit was chill). We split 3 dishes and definitely couldn't do a 4th as the portions were perfect to share. Dishes we ordered were the octopus with Migas, the wild crispy shrimps and the Ze Povinho which is black pork cheeks slow cooked in red wine. The octopus was incredibly tender and served over potatoes that had a lot of flavor. The shrimps were 4 large (prawns not sure why they were called shrimo?) were fried but nice and juicy. The puree of the avocado and mango with the prawns was a winning combo! We were both pretty full but ate every bit of the pork beef cheeks which was served with au gratin potato that had a hint of dill in it which I was surprised I like as I'm not a huge dill fan.. Once we got to this spot and this are in general we knew it was the place to be at. Monday evening and packed!

This is the only restaurant in Portugal that asked for a tip. Afterwards I realized they ripped me off because VAT was included in my meal price. Don't fall for the tip is not included, it might be because I am American. My server was on the grumpy side and never once smiled, but I think that is his personality, he smiled for no one. Food: I ordered the pasta with chile, calamari, and shrimp. It was a unique pasta with garlic and tiny amounts of ginger, that played very well and there was like 2 chile rings and then calamari and shrimp. The pasta was cooked perfectly and right amount of sauce that just played well together. The calamari was cooked to perfection as was the shrimp but a few were not cleaned properly but everything tasted good. The chile did have a tiny bite so somebody might think this is spicy but was not for me, finally something with flavor. I did not eat all the pasta because then I ordered the octopus. The octopus was not cleaned properly but the texture was spot on and the taste was great, I added some of my own hot sauce on the side to give it some kick. Odd to have a boiled egg with the octopus, good taste but the green ring indicates the egg was overcooked. Everything was temperature hot and served fairly quickly. WiFi available. I should have just ordered the pasta because that was fantastic! The octopus was okay but took some work to clean. The pasta gives this place a 5. Service and tip with VAT already included would drop to 2. The octopus is 3 stars. But the pasta was the best meal thus far in Portugal.
