Mariscaria - Cascais

If I can give you advice, it would be to go to the next door (restaurant o pescador), which is much better at all levels: food, price and service.

Nice restaurant, good service. We had gazpacho to start with not sure if it was home made. We then shared a fisherman’s platter of fish. The fish was really tasty but not very hot, I wonder if it had been sat in the kitchen before coming out. Other people’s seafood looked great so I don’t want to put people off going.

The service was very good but most tables are outside and it was windy. There is a section on the menu titled 'so good you 'll want more ', which was true but mostly because the portions were so small . The grilled squid consisted of five small squid the size of finger puppets. They were very tasty and adequate for a starter but not a main.

I think we caught Mariscaria on an off night. Front of house was having some issues and I suspect that this impacted on the kitchen. The sauces with the shellfish were delicious. The platters for two are a great selection. Worth a try.

Vi delade en tallrik med grillad fisk och skaldjur vilket var väldigt god. Servicen var lite långsamt och given att stället var inte ens halvfullt var det lite konstigt. Det sagt, en mysig restaurang väl värd ett besök.
