GREAT SEAFOOD AND VIEW ======================…read more Our family member booked us a huge table for lunch at the end of July. We had a big group of ten at a long table overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches. Normally a great view and decent cuisine don't go hand and hand, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered sole after my family member recommended it. My husband walked out right after we got there because of the smell of seafood. He found another place to eat nearby. If you like seafood with a beautiful view make a reservation. You may need a private driver though because parking is a problem.

Came here on a Wednesday night about 8:30 with a table of 6. We were surprised that the place was…read morecompletely empty but wow did we get great service! This spot was decorated with wines on all the walls and a white table cloth feel. We got sat right away and they had menus in English and Portuguese. We started off with some bread butter olives and cheese for the table. Loved the different types of breads in the breadbasket as well as the variety of olives. The cheese was also fresh and creamy and a perfect combination with the bread. We opted for a bottle of verde wine and we got the gambas al ajillo and the fish for two. The gambas came out right away and they were delicious and with a hint of lemon they were a must. The fish for two was fantastic, it was served table side and the sauce that it came in was delicious. Great spot for authentic food and easy to accommodate a group.

Sadly, rhe one item we really wanted Lulas ( Grilled Squid) Rechadas was off the menu. We realized the menu in Portugués versus rhe English menu did not have the daily specials. So with the help of Google translator, i was able to figure out the menu. Our waiter could not take the order, so another waiter came by to assist, i dont soeak portuguese. Nevertheless, order was placed and the food cane out within 15 minutes. Our favorite dish was the grilled dorado fish, nice grilled-charred flavor, served with boiled potatoes and some steam carrots and broco. The beef tongue is melt on your mouth, tender, slice thin tongue beef. The brown sauce add a nice level of seasoning but it does not mask the beefy flavor of the beef tongue with just enough fat in the meat to induce the palate, the french fries for some reason were not as crispy as the fried we are accustomed in the USA. But I noticed the same when were in Greec, we actually had to ask for extra crispy fried- well that will have to be next time. The Garlic shrimp was good but it did not take me flavortown, felt like it could have used more garlic. By the way the Garlic shrimp was more like a tapas size serving, we also order some bread and butter. Unlike in the USA, here you have to pay for bread and butter, which is cant get used to it. The bread was rustic, crusty and cut into small pieces. We did not have dessert because we wanted nata from a store nearby. We. Oticed they haf roasted Pernil with mashed potatoes but that seemed heavy even if we shared it but it did looked very good, as the people next to is ordered it. The house wine was just ok, nothing great but a glass of red with lunch is a good option. We finished lunch with expreso shot. Great service, very clean bathrooms and nice upscale ambiance. Came here because someone recommended it as good local spot. Always check the daily menu. Simple preparation for sll the items but done well

Lamb chops - tender and juicy Cod cream soup - very flavorful and creamy Almond cake - a treat since we couldn't be home with family to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Rabbit). It was very good and not too sweet (perfect for us because you know the highest praise from an Asian palate is "not too sweet") would def recommend getting this In Conclusion: one of our best and favorite meals in Portugal. Very consistent as in we enjoyed everything we ordered... other restaurants, our meals were hit or miss around the table. Would highly recommend!

Unfortunately, it ended up being the most disappointing--and most expensive--meal we've had during our month in Portugal. The experience got off to a poor start. The hostess wasn't welcoming, and when I politely asked if we could sit closer to the window, I was told those tables had been reserved weeks in advance. We had also made a reservation for our anniversary, so that was disappointing. We were seated behind a pillar instead. Throughout the evening, not a single member of the waitstaff smiled. They all looked unhappy to be there, which created a surprisingly cold atmosphere. None of the staff ever came by to ask how our meal was, and no one acknowledged our anniversary. The restaurant itself wasn't nearly as elegant or luxurious as its reputation suggests. Aside from the lobster tank, the décor and atmosphere felt rather ordinary. To make matters worse, our view overlooked a wire fence and a parking area instead of the beautiful ocean setting we had expected. There were also several odd service issues. I ordered a gin martini. They said they were out of green olives, so I requested a lemon twist instead. The drink arrived with black olives and a lemon twist, which was confusing. As for the food, the complimentary bread with the crab pâté was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, everything after that was underwhelming. The sea bass was bland and forgettable, and the vegetables were overcooked to the point of being mushy. What made the evening especially disappointing is that every other restaurant we've visited in Cascais has been wonderful. Friendly, smiling staff checked on us, made us feel welcome, and served memorable meals--often at much lower prices. Given Mar do Inferno's reputation and premium prices, we expected an exceptional dining experience. Instead, we left wondering how it has earned such glowing reviews. I genuinely hope management takes a close look at the service, atmosphere, and food quality, because right now the restaurant simply doesn't live up to its reputation.

Alpendre is popular, so it is probably best to make a reservation. We arrived at 7:30 without a reservation and we were told we needed to be finished by 9:00pm. That was no problem and we glad they could seat us. Alpendre is simple and casual. The prices are reasonable. Sadly they were sold out of the grilled octopus and sardines. We did order the garlic shrimp and they were excellent. The Piri Piri fried chicken was also delicious. The chorizo and pickles was a strong dish also. The wait staff was super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I wish we had time to go back to try some more of the menu.

We were welcomed by a couple really friendly and funny young lady servers and ours was especially so cute, helpful, and funny to talk and mess with!! Wife had a great green wine and I got a huge sangria for one that was great and fruity. She ordered a "seafood rice" served invite own metal crock packed with octopus and stuff that she couldn't finish. I got the steak and chips (fries) and a perfectly sunny side egg on top (13.70 Euros). She loved hers and my server made sure mine was truly medium rare leaving it cooked and not bloody yet swimming in juice. Beware in Portugal sometimes the "steak" is a fillet if you don't confirm first like this one. So glad I went med rare!! Perfectly cooked fries too. These ladies were actually from Nepal and we enjoyed talking with them about that and we joked a lot. It was a fun welcoming lunch. Two police officers dined next to us talking with the Portuguese owner so it's a mix of locals and tourists. It's right in the center of it all and convenient. Large menu and great service. Very affordable as well! Not the best steak I've ever had but the best for this price point generally and we would def go back again next trip. Our server was named Asmee(what a cutie!) and her associate Greeta.
