Mercado Restaurante Bar - Barreiro

After a long drive we were relieved to have found a table without having to book. Greeted by some traditional local produce like bread, olives,pate and cheese. Food was acceptable as was the service. I asked for the bill and was surprised that I've been charged for starters which we didn't ask for BEWARE. Drinks prices are also higher than those from other restaurants down the road.

Tasty food. I had a plate with fish, spinach and cheese (I do not remember the name) and it was surprisingly good. The best dinner plate of the entire trip. My boyfriend had a burger, it was good. Maybe more vegetables would make it better, but the meat was well done and tasty. Service was good. Worth the choice.

Overall not too bad, food was ok but service was mixed. Lady waitress was very nice but male waiter was at best unfriendly. They give you bread, olives, cheese and pate to “get you started “ but then added the cost to the bill. This additional cost was €9.20. I refused to pay this extra charge which the waiter grudgingly took off the bill, blaming the waitress for not informing us that it was not complimentary. Our visit was completely soured by this.

Only found this place by accident but ate here 3 times in a week. Lamb chops are magnificent but you need a big appetite as there are so many. The staff are really friendly and efficient. We will definitely visit again and again

Ate here last week very good sardines and piri piri chicken. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices
