The name gives away what this award winning restaurant is all about: 'Peixe na Telha', Portuguese for 'Fish on a Tile'. So, you can expect to find here fine seafood prepared in an artisanal fashion, bringing out the natural flavours of all ingredients.

Though this restaurant is a bastion of fine cuisine, it has also a beachside bar feeling to it, with live music and an array of snacks and finger food available on the menu. You needn't worry about dressing up to enter: most visitors come here straight from the beach to finish off their morning with a superb meal and drinks.

The house special is definitely its view. The restaurant is right on the beach, and it even has a ladder in case you want to go for a swim while your dish hasn't arrived. All the open space makes this a top option in case you are travelling with your whole family, kids included.

In case you are looking for a more private experience, just climb the stairs to the first floor where the 'Encontro dos Mares' bistrô is located. The reserved atmosphere is ideal for couples and for those interested in more contemporary cuisine.
