Atlântico Restaurante Bar is a family owned business located towards the marina (east) end of the beaches of Praia da Rocha. Taking advantage of their strategic location, they sell everything from simple ice cream treats like those found at convenient stores, to house made crepes, snack meals like hamburgers, and full dinner plates. They sell them all. Service is friendly; one of the owners/family members is also server. Cooking style leans towards simple, home-cooking.
The Food:
Fish Soup - 5 stars
Hubby really like this. Many bits of fish in a clear, veggie broth.
Vegetable Soup - 3.5 stars
This is the classic Portuguese preparation, lightly creamed, mixed with some greens in the soup. I'm not a big fan. I know others like it more.
Grilled Seabream - 4.5 stars
This is their fish of the day. Very lightly grilled with lots of lemon, served with potatoes and veggies. It is a good simple, homey meal.
Piri-piri Chicken kebab - 3.5 stars
Piri means chili. I think they forgot 1.5 of the piri and there is 0.5 piri on these chicken chunks. Meaning there isn't much chili flavor. There is a slight orange tint only. Some chicken pieces are quite dry.
Orange cake - 3 stars
This is supposedly a classic local treat. It tasted more sweet than orange.
Strawberries cup - 5 stars
Sometimes I like things basic, this beautifully presented cup of strawberries made me light up. read more
