At Cascais Marina, Omonni brings the true essence of Korean cuisine to the Lisbon Coast. Created by entrepreneur Kelly Choi, the restaurant moves away from fast food and pays tribute to her mother’s traditional homemade recipes, using sauces imported directly from Korea and locally sourced vegetables. From seafood pancakes to premium cuts of meat grilled at the table, the restaurant’s main mission is to introduce diners to traditional Korean dining rituals, showing them how to enjoy each dish as if they were in Seoul.

At B-Life Kitchen, at Cascais Marina, chef Nelson Soares proves that healthy food can be both delicious and creative. With dishes such as protein scones, fresh salads, sweet potato gnocchi and sugar-free desserts, the restaurant combines nutrition with great flavour.

MYKA’s artisanal Greek yoghurt has also arrived at Cascais Marina. Following its debut in Campo de Ourique, the Spanish brand has introduced a food truck with a seafront terrace. Its yoghurt stands out for its rich texture and is made with pasteurised milk and goat’s milk kefir, without ultra-processed ingredients. The menu focuses on the natural version and rotating flavours, which can be customised with signature toppings such as crunchy mykataifi, homemade granola, olive oil or honey.

YAM is a restaurant dedicated to the flavours of South-East Asia, with sharing at the heart of its concept. Whether small plates or more substantial dishes – from Vietnam and Thailand to Indonesia, China and Japan – everything is designed to be shared around the table. The venue features several spaces: a terrace, an Asian-style counter, an indoor dining room and an Asian garden with direct access to the bar, where cocktails are served.

It’s well worth heading to the Lisbon Coast if you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe with laid-back clothing. More than a decade after closing its previous standalone store in Portugal, Osklen opened at Cascais Marina last summer. Known as one of the leading names in Brazilian minimalist fashion, the 70-square-metre shop brings together style and sustainability. You’ll find men’s and women’s clothing, footwear and accessories. If you’re a fan of Brazilian-made fashion, there’s another address worth visiting: Embaú (Travessa do Poço Novo, 8), known for bringing together a range of brands from across the Atlantic.

Originally opened in 2016, Páteo do Guincho reopened at Cascais Marina in May 2024, in an elegant new space with a refreshed menu that still features the dishes which had already become firm favourites.

Founded in 1988 by French entrepreneur France Ame at the legendary, now closed, Hotel Estoril Sol, Espace Cannelle may have started small, but it quickly became one of the most stylish concept stores on the Lisbon Coast. In 2003, it moved to larger premises at Arcadas do Estoril, opposite the Casino gardens, where it remains today, showcasing renowned fashion brands such as Etro, Alberta Ferretti, Diane von Furstenberg and Max Mara. In spring 2024, it began a new chapter in its more than three-decade history by opening a second location at Cascais Marina – a glass-fronted boutique overlooking the sea on the Fashion Promenade. The brands available here are the same as those found in Estoril, although the selection of pieces is different. “The style here is more sea, more beach, more Riviera. It suits the marina,” says Anne Amorim, Head of Communications. Highlights include swimwear by Brazilian label Lenny Niemeyer, leather sandals by Greek brand Di Gaïa, colourful patterned dresses by Borgo de Nor and accessories by Gas Bijoux, perfect for both the beach and evening occasions.

Marisco na Praça first opened at Mercado da Vila before expanding to Cascais Marina a few years later. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a plate of amêijoas à Bulhão Pato while looking out at a beautiful sailing boat – even if it isn’t yours. Customers choose their seafood from the counter at the entrance, depending on the day’s catch, before it is weighed and taken to the kitchen to be prepared, making the experience even more special.

The Smoke is the only lounge in Cascais – and one of the few in the Lisbon area – dedicated to cigar enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy cigars from a range of brands and origins, either in the exclusive, classic indoor lounge (with ventilation and seating for around a dozen people) or on the spacious outdoor terrace, where live sports are shown.

Regular customers can even rent a locker, either monthly or annually, to store their cigars, ensuring they always have one ready to enjoy whenever they visit.

The cigars are best paired with a drink, and at The Smoke that means signature cocktails crafted by the bartenders. Highlights include the Cocktail Cigars Smoke (€12), made with vodka, ginger, lime juice, coffee and sugar syrup; the Marina (€14), with white rum, Malibu, Blue Corazón and pineapple juice; the Cigar Mojito (€14), with white rum, mint, lime juice and sugar syrup; and the Expresso Bombom (€14), made with vodka, Baileys, condensed milk and Kahlúa.

The Smoke also hosts events, offers shisha and serves a selection of appetisers, an area the team plans to expand. “One of our future projects is to open a proper kitchen for cigar lovers who come here to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere,” says manager Iliana Silva. “We also want to attract other customers who simply want to come for a drink.” The lounge also sells accessories, including ashtrays, lighters and cigar cutters.

This ice cream parlour and crêperie is here to sweeten your day at the marina with a range of indulgent treats. Alongside 18 flavours of Artisani ice cream, the menu features crêpes and bubble waffles, available to enjoy on the spot or to take away (perhaps to the nearby garden). The possibilities are almost endless: keep it simple with a Nutella crêpe or bubble waffle, or add a scoop of ice cream and extras ranging from classic toppings to sliced almonds, Smarties or marshmallows.

K Bueno is a steakhouse inspired by Miami’s waterfront restaurants, opened by a Venezuelan couple. Unsurprisingly, the main focus is on premium cuts of meat, from sirloin and 30-day dry-aged entrecôte to picanha, dry-aged chuletón and a 30-day dry-aged T-bone. The menu also includes a selection of vegetarian and fish dishes, as well as a variety of starters. Set on the upper floor, the spacious restaurant boasts a terrace with stunning views.

Luxury jewellery and exclusive home décor pieces. Pricci is a Brazilian jewellery brand with two stores in Portugal, both located in Cascais. Founded by entrepreneur Priscila Szafir, wife of one of the marina’s partners, Benjamin Katz, this boutique stands out for its strong selection of home décor and tableware. As for the jewellery, choosing between the brand’s earrings, necklaces and bracelets is no easy task – each piece is unique, with no two designs exactly alike.

Gordinni is one of the best-known restaurant groups on the Lisbon Coast. It currently has venues in Estoril, Oeiras and Cascais Marina. The restaurant is best known for its Brazilian-style picanha, served with black beans, cassava flour, baked potato, rice and salad. The menu also features a variety of other meat dishes, alongside Italian favourites such as pizzas and pasta. To offer an even broader selection, the marina restaurant also serves sushi.

Alexandra and Marco Briosa are the founders of Zutto Design Store. They began their careers in the property sector, renovating homes in Lisbon’s historic centre, and it was through this work that their passion for interior design grew. It wasn’t long before they decided to open their own shop, specialising in exclusive decorative pieces from premium brands. In fact, zutto is a Japanese word meaning “continuity” or “forever”, reflecting the high quality and timeless nature of the products they sell. They ran a store in Campo de Ourique for two years, but it coincided with the pandemic and the business did not develop as they had hoped.

They then turned their attention to Cascais Marina, where customers have “greater purchasing power” and a “refined” taste for the lamps, furniture, cushions, throws, outdoor pieces and other homeware they have been selling there since May 2022. At the same time, they continue to undertake interior renovation and design consultancy projects, creating bespoke plans tailored to each client’s preferences, budget and home. At Cascais Marina, the displays are constantly changing, with different pieces showcased both inside the shop and in the outdoor area in front.

A Brazilian café with Japanese design and philosophy – that’s the concept behind The Coffee, a brand with locations in several countries that also has a corner at Cascais Marina. It serves speciality coffee, lattes and gelato frappés, along with a wide range of other hot and cold drinks. There are also desserts and a selection of pastries.

The unusual “industrial-tropical-brunch-every-day-all-day” concept, created by Paulo Côrte-Real and Luís Marques, opened at Cascais Marina in October, delighting the growing expatriate community as well as locals looking for something a little more exotic. Alongside its all-day, everyday brunch, Kafeine serves crafted cocktails and more substantial dishes, including the New York Prime Steak, the Original Lobster and the well-known Surf & Turf.

Mercearia Vencedora is another restaurant at Cascais Marina that brings together Italian, Brazilian and Portuguese flavours. The menu features a wide selection of pasta dishes and salads, alongside fish, burgers, steaks and the picanha menu (€22.50), served with baked potato, black beans, rice and salad.

Since 2018, Maria Minez has dedicated herself entirely to her own brand. The self-taught designer, who creates the collections and works with a team of three seamstresses, has a boutique at Cascais Marina where she sells her “versatile” clothing, characterised by clean, straight lines and minimal use of patterns. Jumpsuits and long dresses are among the best sellers, while the handmade pieces crafted from Portuguese wool are also particularly popular.

With five restaurants across the Lisbon region, La Brasserie de L’Entrecôte is a well-known name. Its signature dish is, naturally, the tender sliced entrecôte, served with crispy French fries and a velvety herb sauce made with 18 ingredients. At Cascais Marina, you can enjoy it while overlooking the yachts and sailing boats.
