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.

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.

The restaurant is much larger than anticipated, spanning across a few floors. Servers were friendly and gave amazing recommendations, even stopping us from ordering too much. The sangria was one of the best we've had and the bread was excellent with the butter the cheese. They do charge for these starters, but it's listed on the menu. I made the mistake of eating too much bread before our mains came. We enjoyed the clams and grouper head with a side of greens and potatoes. everything was delicious! It's big enough to share for two, and we still couldn't manage to finish all the food. We wanted to try dessert as it was our last meal in Lisbon, but unfortunately ate way too much and couldn't stomach anything else. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant! They also gave all the ladies a parting gift (a single flower), which I thought was a cute touch. Paid via credit card and they didn't ask for us to leave a tip.

I don't understand all the hype. The restaurant was good, not great. The service was very good for…read morethe most part. The decor was dated but in a kind of cool way. Though I must say it does not match the vibe portrayed by the website. It is very bright inside and feels very 1980s-1990s. People said it's high end and to dress well but there were tourists showing up in shorts and t-shirt. Which is fine but again, not the vibe I expected. To start I said I didn't want the couvert. They took away part of it and left the rest. We just decided what the hell and ate some of it. The cured meat (I forget what kind) left a strange film under my tongue I've never experienced eating similar meat so I didn't eat much of it. The cod was very bony. Parts of it were cooked beautifully and parts were very overcooked and chewy. The potatoes were too salty but well cooked. The greens had grit in them and crunched uncomfortably in my teeth. The steak was lovely but the accompanying rice was hard and bland. It was the only place I've eaten in Portugal (and I've tried a pretty large variety of types) where the sever held the credit card machine in front of me asking if I wanted to enter a tip as I was in the process of looking at the bill and paying. I would have tipped anyway but it was definitely off-putting. Maybe the hype is just residue from a bygone era? I was told I had to try it so I did but I wouldn't go back and probably wouldn't recommend it.

Havia uma mesa grande com cerca de 16 pessoas e várias crianças, e a situação estava totalmente fora de controlo. As crianças estavam a gritar, a correr pelo restaurante, a aproximar-se da nossa mesa, a colocar coisas em cima dela, a bloquear a porta da casa de banho e a comportar-se de forma extremamente perturbadora durante toda a refeição. O pior de tudo foi a falta de intervenção por parte da gerência. Não houve qualquer tentativa de controlar a situação ou de garantir um ambiente agradável para os restantes clientes. Um restaurante deve assegurar que todos os clientes possam desfrutar da sua refeição, o que claramente não aconteceu. Devido à falta de gestão e ao ambiente caótico, não voltaria.

When in Lisbon... seafood! We found this decently reviewed restaurant that is also located on a…read moremain square adjacent to the sea/port. It sports a large outdoor dining area (roughly 20+ tables). Our waiter (as so many in Lisbon) also spoke English, Spanish, and a little French. We all had fun(?) trying to practice our own other language with him (me Sp and her Fr). He was... polite. There are multiple seafood platters on their menu and they are somewhat grouped by theme such as primarily shellfish or primarily fish. We opted for the shellfish (crab, shrimp, clams, snails, even barnacles!) all ocean-derived and nearly all are served precooked/chilled FYI. I lamented to our waiter that there might be too many shrimp and maybe not enough crab. He said, but why, it's all you can eat! Whaaat? This is nowhere clear from the menu but that made our decision easy. We tweaked the initial order and subsequently got a couple of refills on the crab claws once we finished the (enormous) first platter. The barnacles were our least favorite - roughly 1 inch long rubbery, super salty tubes. In Portugal, as most of Europe, there is no free tap water. Anywhere. There is ample plain (bottled) or sparkling (bottled) and each always comes in glass (different brands) and typically runs about 3 Euros for either. Throughout the week I made accidental requests for "seltzer" and always received a "pardon?" Their terms are sparkling or "with gas." Our bill total came to €101 which included about €10 in VAT tax, two orders of bread; two glasses of wine and a bottle of water. Not bad at all. Service was consistently slow and you had to "find/hail" your waiter for anything. We learned this was the norm in most restaurants throughout Europe and tipping is generally not expected because they all receive standard wages. We tacked on 5-10% nearly everywhere because, well, one less reason to dislike Americans?
