The Monte Mar brand has been in the ascendency in recent years, like the miracle of the fish (and loaves). But our favourite is the one on the Guincho road. With its impeccable old-fashioned service, it has the best terrace in Cascais, where the waves break right next to the tables. The menu is enormous, as are the suggestions of the day, but these are just good reasons to keep going back and trying something new. That is if you can resist the house specials: filetes de pescada com arroz de berbigão (hake fillets with cockle rice), creme de marisco (cream of seafood) or linguado frito com açorda (fried sole with açorda).
The most important thing when it comes to eating fish is its freshness. But the art of behind its preparation, to ensure the ingredients are not damaged, is also important to the true connoisseur. And, finally, good service also helps a good meal taste even better. Cascais, home of seafarers, combines all three conditions in its many restaurants. In a town in which fish is king and master, with species such as sole, stone bass, octopus and white seabream caught offshore - and don't even get us started on the shellfish - it is important to know the best places in Cascais to dine on fish. Here we offer you seven good options – one for each day of the week.
