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.

I hope that helps you understand how much I loved this place. I cannot express how delighted I was at this place. I biked to Cascais from Lisbon, covering 22 miles in a few hours, and I was pretty exhausted when I arrived. I had to wait nearly 2 hours before I could go to my hotel, and I aimlessly wandered about town just trying to kill time. I saw that it had some gluten-free options, and decided to take a look. Greenwish has a great selection of gluten-free desserts, small pies and quiches, and a wonderful menu of healthy food including awesome salads and a brilliant daily soup. So brilliant that I ate the soup of the day here twice. I got a lot of stuff to go, hauling it to Lisbon with me as I embark on a hiking trip. Man. I wish I could eat here every day - I'll just have to hope it's still here when I come back next, so VISIT AND EAT HERE! You won't regret it!

My family and I had lunch at Paul a couple of times while staying nearby at the Citadel. We loved their Mediterranean caprese style sandwich and had those a couple of times.

The staff's English is limited; we lucked out by being there when the most English-proficient waiter was working. That said, a few words and a lot of hand gestures will easily get you by. The real plus to this bakery is its location. If the weather is nice, grab a coffee/pastry and sit out on the front patio in the morning to read a book, skim the morning paper, or simply people watch. The patio is perfectly positioned to get the most out of the morning sun while also being far enough from the main hustle of Alameda Combatentes da Grande Guerra with its market and many shops. They keep your tab on an RFID card that they'll drop on your table. Just go up to the counter with it at the end to pay. There are public/free restrooms in the park if you need them but I imagine they also have them inside.

The wait staff is incredibly friendly and remembered us by the 2nd time we visited. We enjoyed sitting down to eat but also took advantage of their Pastelaria where we would grab pastries and coffee to go for our activities. We had the eggs Benedict and the Benedict Florentine. We found the Florentine fresher with the salmon. The yogurt bowl was yummy and filling. The English breakfast is a classic. The beyond vegan burger was delicious. The French toast was the star of the table. It has a crisp outer shell but soft and moist middle. Delicious!

Appauling experience A friend from Australia booked a table…read morefor dinner for me ( long term resident of Portugal) & a local from Estoril. My Australia friend chose this restaurant as he had dined her alone & recommended the lamb chops which he enjoyed previously. The menu had pictures & the lamb was accompanied by mint sauce,salad & french fries . When it arrived it was a plate of crisps with 2x 3cm + 1x 2cm small pieces of Lamb , that was it . I challenged the staff so after 3 min the mint sauce arrived ,followed by the salad 5 min & finally the "1" bowl of French fries 10 min later . The waiter simply said the chef was new . The same member of staff had served my friend a few days earlier the Lamb "chops" with all the correct accompaniments. TOTAL LACK OF CARE & INTEREST SHOWN . The experience cost over €100+ TOTAL RIP OFF My Australian friend was upset by the experience & my Portuguese friend so ashamed he insisted on paying the bill . He simply said the restaurant didn't reflect Portuguese Hospitality VALUES . I TOTALLY AGREE

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!
