    We were recommended here by our tour guide during our first, but brief visit to Cascais. I was slightly hesitant because of the reviews, but also quite hungry and wanted seafood. It almost seemed questionable if we would get in, but the downstairs was empty, and the hostess asked for our phone number and sent us upstairs. We were seated, albeit like sardines between two other tables. I will say it did take about 15-20 minutes for a server to even come by, and we just ordered everything at once. We opted for a bottle of wine, the crab dip appetizer, and two plates. As we watched the tables on each side of us order plate after plate, each one getting progressively larger and more extravagant, we thought perhaps we under-ordered! Our wine arrived, which was light, and complimented our food perfectly. The crab dip was served in a large hollowed out crab shell, and was delicious, probably the best I've ever had, as it actually tasted like crab, with big chunks! My husband ordered a fish dish, and I went for the octopus, as I hadn't yet had any in Portugal. They were absolutely delicious, and quite large! The octopus was especially wonderful, and blew away every other piece of octopus I've eaten in my whole life. My husband didn't believe me when I said it had the consistency more like chicken, and none of the typical chewiness that they usually have...until he tasted it and nearly fell out of his chair. It was perfect. I wish we had gotten the fish soup, but I don't think I could have made it through the octopus if I had. The fish dish was also cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and so fresh! While it may be a bit cramped and crowded inside, the service could be a little friendlier, and it's a tad loud, the food far and above makes up for it all, which is what counts most!

    After a terrible meal in Lisbon the night before, this was redemption and an excellent meal with friendly service. We had a couple huge platters of seafood - salmon, turbot, sea bass, squid, prawns, and clams. My favorite was definitely the clams, so good. And service was friendly. Wine was good too. We also ordered some Portuguese cognac which was nice. If you love seafood this is the place to go! And amazing views too.

    Baía do Peixe is an upscale chain seafood restaurant offered throughout Portugal. It's often situated along a tourist spot area by the water, which can give a great view of the city. We ordered one of the all-you-can-eat seafood platters, and each tray came with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes. My overall experience was much more defined by quantity over quality-- the seafood themselves were standard fare. Just don't make my mistake and eat so much that you're now sick of shrimp and mussels.

    Fish soup and grilled shrimp

    Delicious meal, great views, service amazing. We had the fish soup, the grilled shrimp and the grilled octopus. This last one was probably the best one I've had in my life. Tender, flavorful, absolutely delicious. Definitely would go back.

    Table setting

    After walking and touring nearby museums, we decided to try here. We had no reservations but were able to get a table quickly. We ordered the polpp salad, mussels, and grilled prawns and squid, which came with sautéed veggies. The portions were good, and we had leftover polpo salad for another meal. Service was good as well.

    Fabulous sea food, and when we finished our huge platter of fresh fish they brought us some second helping. Highly recommended!

    This is in the tourist area of Cascais, but it was recommended to me by the hotel. It is located…read moreright behind the police station. They are closed on Wednesday. This is the only restaurant in Portugal that asked for a tip. Afterwards I realized they ripped me off because VAT was included in my meal price. Don't fall for the tip is not included, it might be because I am American. My server was on the grumpy side and never once smiled, but I think that is his personality, he smiled for no one. Food: I ordered the pasta with chile, calamari, and shrimp. It was a unique pasta with garlic and tiny amounts of ginger, that played very well and there was like 2 chile rings and then calamari and shrimp. The pasta was cooked perfectly and right amount of sauce that just played well together. The calamari was cooked to perfection as was the shrimp but a few were not cleaned properly but everything tasted good. The chile did have a tiny bite so somebody might think this is spicy but was not for me, finally something with flavor. I did not eat all the pasta because then I ordered the octopus. The octopus was not cleaned properly but the texture was spot on and the taste was great, I added some of my own hot sauce on the side to give it some kick. Odd to have a boiled egg with the octopus, good taste but the green ring indicates the egg was overcooked. Everything was temperature hot and served fairly quickly. WiFi available. I should have just ordered the pasta because that was fantastic! The octopus was okay but took some work to clean. The pasta gives this place a 5. Service and tip with VAT already included would drop to 2. The octopus is 3 stars. But the pasta was the best meal thus far in Portugal.

    Very nice restaurant recommended by our tour guide so I feel it may be a bit touristy. The food is…read moregood but a little pricy. Service was good but it was the only restaurant I was asked if I want to leave an additional tip, hence place for tourist. There's no need to leave a tip in Europe.

They describe it as a gastronomic experience, so to say that my friend and I were excited is an understatement. Already sat on the table were some tasty morsels - the bread Selection with homemade butters, tuna pâté, crab pâté and cheese that was marinated in olive oil and paprika. This was a charming start to the meal and experience. We quickly followed it with starters of roasted scallops with sweet potato purée and bacon and garlic Shrimp and green wine sauce. Our excellent waiter recommended the veal entrecote with onion purée and the whole grilled seabass for main course and we went with his recommendation. He certainly knows what he is talking about. Lesson learned - listen to your waiter! Making room for dessert is a speciality that my friend and I have mastered over the years. This time we made room for Cheesecake with Passion Fruit Coulis, Dark Chocolate Dome, Caramel and Cherry Ice Cream and Sardine Ice cream. Not our usual trio but tasted great. All the while, we watched the beauty of the ocean from our elevated view. It was an amazing way to spend a lunch. Highly recommended for anyone at any time. Take a short train ride to get your fix of great food and stunning views in Estoril at Atlantico next time you are in Lisbon.

    Excellent seafood!…read more Located in a market, big restaurant with seating indoor or outdoor. Unique experience because you go to the seafood display case to select what you would like and how you want it to prepared, then they will bring it to your table. Kind of a nice touch as you get to see the wide selection of fresh seafood to pick from. We had gooseneck barnacles - which were surprisingly delicious!! (you can YouTube how to eat them - LOL) Also had the mussels prepared in lemon, butter, and garlic - sooooo good!! And my absolute favorite - Shrimp, so tender and sweet. A must order!! Would I go back? Yes!

We loved it so much we went numerous times for lunch after visiting the market. Here's how it works: - Grab a table. - Go to seafood counter and check out all the offerings. - Discuss and order what you want at the counter. - Order the menu food from your table We were also blown away by the offerings. So many varieties of crustaceans, some I had never heard of (and I really like to eat seafood). On the numerous visits, we tried a lot: - cardinal shrimp: AMAZING, has ruined shrimp for me. So delicious and enormous, really worth splitting one! - limpets: classic buttery, always wanted to have this dish - sea urchins: so fresh and delicious - razor clams: cooked in olive oil, garlic, and cilantro - really good - brown crab: full crab served room temperature with the dip made of the goo served with Melba toast. Very interesting! - seafood soup: so so good, comes with chunks of shrimp - gooseneck barnacles: first time trying this. So interesting, tastes like a sweeter clam. - chips: hot, fresh cut potato chips - white sangria: really delicious and fresh Super good, you must try!! Service was always good
