Inside was classically decorated with many square tables that could be rearranged for groups of 1-2 or larger. We did not need a reservation but it was a Tuesday night at 8pm. Service was friendly but could felt similar to the service you get in many tourist restaurants and the idea of American tipping seems to be taking root. Food portions were hearty and seemed to be a more formal take on Portuguese comfort food (I imagine). The Cod Duque was under seasoned with the Octopus done well and the sweet potato puree was just....there.

The Boca Santa restaurant was by far the best that we ate at, there are many others that are very good but Boca Santa is wonderful. The quality of the food is excellent! With a great mix of local delicacies and other dishes that lean towards a more international flavour, there is plenty to choose from their refreshingly modest menu. We're never fans of encyclopedic menus; less is more and quality and freshness of ingredients should be priorities as they most certainly are at Boca Santa. The food aside, the restaurant has an incredible location with various seating options. It sits beside the historic, and soon to be restored, Mar Linda restaurant and tea room, an evocative remnant of former seaside times in Santa Cruz. My girlfriend and I were fortunate enough to have great weather and we were able to watch the beautiful sunsets from the terrace as we snacked on olives, bread and cheese, all locally sourced, with chilled glasses of vinho verde. However, it can be very windy along the coast and so the restaurant offers a kind of 'indoor/ outdoor' space with a few tables in a sun room at the front with equally majestic views of the Atlantic horizon. The interior of the restaurant proper is so wonderfully cozy, beautifully decorated and in keeping with its maritime location in a bistro style. We dined on the Bacalhau á Boca, which is so beautifully presented as to be as much a feast on the eyes as it is on the palette. For us, the thing that brought us back time and again was the friendliness of the owner. Such a charming, well travelled man who made us feel like we were his only guests, a true gentleman and so proud of his kitchen creations. This is a bar restaurant, perhaps a bistro but that said, the location, food quality, decor and professionalism of its staff, lends itself to far grander establishments. Thank you so much Boca Santa for beautifully embellishing our visit to Santa Cruz 5

We told the server that we were referred by the place we were saying and he arrogantly said " Everyone recommends us"like he could care less. His superior and snarky attitude was a real turnoff. We were not super hungry so we ordered a few starters and some drinks. The server who brought our food was very attentive and kind. The food wasn't outstanding, earthmoving or even unique. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. The greeter stopped by our table, one more time to advise us that the restaurant would be closed tomorrow as a group of 40 Asians rented the place out "because we are so good." His total attitude turned us off. As we left, the restaurant was not even 1/2 full, so I'm not sure why he was put out that we had not made reservations. There are better places to eat in Óbidos.

The food across the board was excellent--every dish we tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and felt thoughtfully put together. You can tell there's real intention behind both the menu and execution. What really elevated the experience, though, was our waiter, Bernardo. He brought incredible energy to the table--full of personality, engaging, and genuinely fun to interact with. At the same time, his service was top-notch: attentive without being overbearing, helpful with recommendations, and clearly passionate about what he does. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with service like that, it turns into a memorable experience. Highly recommend--and if you get Bernardo, you're in for a great time.

I had read in Yelp that lines could be long, but we arrived early. They have a little red rope at the door where they explain the rules. The interior is kind of eclectic. They have wines at three price points, we got a really nice bottle of red called Pops reserve. For the tapas, we ordered the assorted cheeses, octopus risotto, duck breast with chips (not normally on the menu), and ceviche. All were superb. We started with the duck and ceviche. The duck was braised perfectly and seasoned well, wonderful. Then the ceviche had swordfish and tuna. I am not normally a sword fan, but this was very tasty. Next up were the cheese and risotto. The risotto was incredible, buttery and delicious. The cheese plate had 5 cheeses of different intensity. All were great, particularly the goat ones. It came with a pumpkin jam which I had never had before, but was very good. I definitely recommend this place
