Rosa dos Ventos - Grilled sea bass

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My husband would be happy…read moreto eat here everyday for a year. The staff is the absolute best. They are SO very warm, so very kind, so very welcoming and friendly. It's a small restaurant with a lot of heart. They bring you the fish to choose from and they grill it up over a wood fire - you can taste the smokiness. I believe they only season the fish with flake salt. I'm getting ahead of myself. First they bring bread and olives and sheep milk cheese to nibble on. We ordered the clams - pretty sure it's cooked with wine, butter, garlic, cilantro & garlic and they give you a nice sized lemon wedge to squeeze all over it. SO GOOD. Back to the fish - that first bite blew my mind. It was so fresh, so perfectly salted, so smokey, so melt in your mouth. Whole boiled potatoes come to the table and a simple mixed salad with romaine, tomatoes, beets, come purple cabbage, cucumber. We used the olive oil and vinegar on the table, salt & pepper on the boiled potatoes and man was it tasty....so simple perfect. At the end of the meal, they brought us tiny terracotta cups that they fill with pomegranate & cinnamon schnapps that is such a lovely finish alongside some espresso that we ordered. We are honestly thinking about returning to Nazaré just to have this meal again before we leave Portugal. We can't stop thinking about it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were a little tickled to know we were from "America"…read more We met some nice people sitting next to us, as it's a cozy conditions inside. Lots of fun stuff to look at while you wait for your Meal. They are a popular restaurant and as soon as you try the fish you'll know why! Our cozy neighbors shared their calamari, and it was also amazing! Highly recommend to have a healthy, local and delicious meal here!

Eventhough most restaUranus in Nazaré are located in lower part of the village. The restaurant…read morecalled Sitio dos Peticos. The word Sitio in Portuguese means "the place" but in this case is the name of the area in Nazaré. Nazaré is composed of a Praia(the lower part or beach area), the Sítio ( the higher area where you go see the famous Big Waves) and the Pederneira (where the cemeterie is located and the earliest place of the city hall". The restaurant not being a Michelin its food and service is outstandin. The stall is super frendly. The food is very good. When I went set outside and spoke with another customer who was French. She had a dog and she was a regular. She liked the food and ordered a 2 fish dishes, one for her and other for dog.Waiter said that she was a regular and always ordered for her and the dog.LOL

This place is a good seafood restaurant in Nazaré. Many restaurants aren't open in Monday and this…read moreis one of the few that were open so opted to try. The restaurant has a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere right by the lookout of the beach. It looked like they were short staffed cuz the restaurant was full with only two servers and probably less people in the kitchen because I felt the service was slow I had the grilled seabass and shrimp for appetizer. Both dishes were excellent. The seabass was perfectly grilled, moist and flaky inside with just the right char, while the shrimp were plump, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The flavors were clean and really highlighted the freshness of the seafood. If you're in Nazaré, this is definitely a place to check out for simple, perfectly prepared seafood.
