    Grilled Octopus

    Delicious food. We ordered the Grilled Octopus, Cod Au Gratin, and the catch of the day - Sea Bream. The staff was so kind to let us come in about 15 minutes early while our 4 year old slept in the stroller. They also gave us top knotch service. The grilled octopus was one of the best I've had so far in Portugal and the Cod Au Gratin was very unique and is a must try. When in Cascais you might be tempted to eat at a restaurant on the water with a view but I highly recommend getting off the beaten path and coming here.

    The best octopus in the kingdom! The garlic shrimp was incredibly delicious also! The owner is quite the character. Very motherly. Makes you feel like you are sitting in her kitchen at home. Lot's of nice touches especially at the end of your meal. Dined there twice while we were in Cascais and wanted to go back a third time.

    My family ate here based on a recommendation from a friend who lives in the area. Oh man am I glad we did! The food was excellent, the service was warm inviting, and fast! It is very family friendly, they had special kid cups and plates for our small kids. the grilled octopus was my favorite (i am still thinking about it, it was so delicious! ) the dessert was also incredible! If you are looking for delicious, reasonably priced traditional Portuguese food, this is the place to come!

    Went here twice during our stay in Cascais it was our favorite meal while in Portugal. It's a small restaurant with very friendly people. The polvo/ grilled octopus was INCREDIBLE. Even down to the side potatoes were delicious. The second time around we came we had fish of day sea bass which was also the best sea bass I've ever had . Incredible food at reasonable prices. At the end of the meal they give you a souvenir mini Polaroid to remember your meal and also some port and almond liquor on the house. This is a meal to be remembered for a long time.

    Best service in all of Portugal! After being treated rudely by a couple restaurants, we came here after seeing all the good reviews. The servers were so kind and welcoming. They were so helpful and the food was amazing. We had the fish and chips and the fried cuttlefish and loved them. They were crispy and delicious. We also had the berry topped cheesecake that was delightful. The servers take a polaroid picture of you and give you the picture to keep at the end of the meal! We also got complimentary almond wine at the end, which topped of this amazing experience. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're in Cascais!

    Octopus

    This restaurant is just what we wanted: friendly atmosphere, good service and excellent food. We often eat octopus and this may be the best I ever had!

    The octopus was so very tender and sautéed with butter and garlic in a bed of roasted fingerling potatoes.

    Hubby's Birthday Dinner - we celebrated my husbands birthday in Portugal this year ! I was so happy…read moreto see that Yelp had a presence in Portugal so while planning the trip I started book marking all the cool exciting places I wanted to check out ! Sooo I was so happy to find Restaurante Mar Do Inferno! It had gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean and the best seafood ! We made our reservation online before leaving California. It was easy and had an English and Portuguese option. We arrived and once we got there we were greeted warmly and seated quickly . There were all these fresh seafood options that you could pick from in live tanks ! Service was top tier !! Our waiter was funny and very entertaining! He warmed up even more as the evening progressed! We had the best view of the sea and ambiance was lovely ! We ordered the seafood platter - langoustines, lobster, prawns, sea bream, potatoes in a garlic butter sauce !! Everything was SO FRESH!! So delicious !!! Great wine selection especially European wines and cocktails too !! Hubby loved it and we definitely will come back next time we are in Portugal!!

    I don't think I have ever gotten worse service anywhere. The large man that served us could not…read morehave been more indifferent towards us. We watched 2 other tables get seated and nearly finish their meals before we got our food. I am a former chef, so I know what the hard skim on top of our dishes meant - that they sat in the window while he catered heavily to other customers. What a disappointment!!
