Looking at The Atlantic while having a meal is my favorite pastime while in Cascais. While I'm not a real fan of Portuguese food, Opiparo's menu offers a nice variety of American food. Such as hamburgers, pizza and many pasta dishes. There are many attentive waiters and your wait time is minimal. I visit this restaurant every time I'm in Portugal. It is "A must visit" while in Portugal.

The calamari was salty, and the protein:breading ratio was off-putting. The wine was pretty sweet, but fine and not their fault. The arroz com mariscos had a great flavor but was way overcooked, making the seafood rubbery. The mousse was underwhipped and was more of a pudding than a mousse. It did the trick, but in a country of amazing food, we were underwhelmed by Opíparo, especially given its high star rating.

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.

We had a reservation for this restaurant at 10:00 pm, and we were told that if we were more than 15…read moreminutes late, we would be charged a €120 fee. We made sure that we were actually early, so we got there around 9:50 pm. We waited a very long time before being seated. While we were waiting, we saw several other parties who arrived after us and were seated before us. I have no idea what their situations were, if they were joining other parties, or if they had even earlier reservations. I definitely watched multiple groups walk in after us and be seated before us. We kept checking in with the hostess, and she kept apologizing and assuring us that we were going to be seated. After a while, they started getting an attitude when we were trying to check in on the status. By the time it was about 10:40, we were finally seated. I've seen a lot of reviews talking about the dress code for this place, and we all came dressed up. I will say that there were inconsistencies in their application of the dress code. They didn't actually say anything to us, but one of the people in our party had on white sandals, even though she was wearing a nice dress, and I had on some gold sandals. I think they were just so busy that they didn't really notice, but I've definitely seen other reviews of people saying that people didn't get in because they were wearing sandals. By the time we were actually seated, the head waiter came over and apologized to us about the wait. He also said that there was a big party that was just leaving, and they were busy trying to get the party situated and out the door. I didn't feel that was a good excuse because my thing is, if people made a reservation, you should have a table available for them, and the staff should be allocated to serve those people. He asked us if we liked alcohol and offered to give all of us drinks, which she did, and so we appreciated that. The food started coming out. We ordered several different things from the menu, including various sushi rolls. Two of us got different fish dishes. I got the cod. Someone else got the sea bass, and the other two people got a steak dish. We also ordered fries, regular fries and the truffle fries, and several of us ordered appetizers. I would say the food was pretty good, definitely overpriced, and the quality wasn't the best I've ever had, but it did what it needed to do, and it wasn't bad or anything. I think what's really giving me pause is the long wait after having a reservation. It's like, why are you waiting almost an hour after having a reservation? Other than that, the service was excellent, and the food was good. Now, this is not a place that I would come back to. I just didn't particularly like the vibe. They call it elevated, but it was definitely very homogenous in terms of the people that were there, and I didn't feel like I particularly belonged in the space.

GORGEOUS VIEW AND DELICIOUS PORTUGUESE CUISINE…read more============================================== Our family members who live in Cascais took us to Furnas Do Guincho for dinner on July 2, 2024. Personally the only thing I don't like about Portugal is Portuguese cuisine, but when in Rome you do what the Romans do. They like Portuguese food. The view can't be beat in this restaurant, so I was a happy camper. I love seafood, but hate bacalau and I refuse to eat octopus. Both of those are extremely popular. Luckily we were able to order a whole bass for our table. My husband was the only one that won't eat seafood, but he found something else on the menu. The bass was great. We had a few bottles of their vinho verde wine which was good. My mistake of the evening was trying the barnacles. Never again. Had I not had a couple glasses of wine before then I wouldn't have even tried one. I couldn't get that taste out of my mouth for days. You are forewarned. The relatives who live there love them. If you are in Cascais definitely reserve a table near the edge so you can enjoy the view.

I ordered fried cod which came with lots of toppings and chips. The cod was fresh and flaky, and the chips tasted homemade. The only drawback was that it was sitting in a pool of olive oil so some of the chips got soggy, but that seems to be the style for cod here. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and were happy to try some more traditional Portuguese food!
