Frente D'Mar is located along the scenic beaches of Nazaré, approximately where the boats on display and seafood being dried is located. We were strolling along hoping to find a less touristy place for a bite when I spotted construction workers dining inside. Jackpot!
The outside menu has four languages, so do the menus they provide after being seated. The prices are very, very reasonable, ditto with the basic drinks. Inside sat the construction workers, local teenagers, local older ladies, with less than the usual tourists. Win. The staff spoke English just fine.
The Food:
Bifana, €3.90 - 5 Stars
Bifana is a popular Portuguese pork sandwich. Thick slabs of pork filled a fresh bun. For 4€, this is a serious bargain with my American mind. I wish we can get this at home!
Octopus Salad, €9.50 - 5 Stars
Circles of tender octopus are mixed with bits of veggies in a vinegary dressing. This is a perfect small bite for a light lunch bite. Also wish I can get this meal at that price at home!
With a small beer and small sparkling water, we left with a check of less than 17€. Sweet! read more
