Bar # 1 em Peniche

16/12/2024: Accueil souriant, poissons grillés (marlin, morue..) et toutes sortes de spécialité bien cuisinées. Copieux avec un bon rapport qualité/prix. Sans hésitation

03/10/2024: Came here for a late lunch since it had good ratings and was open till 4pm. Easy to find - follow the signs. Even at 2.30pm the restaurant was very busy with locals and tourists. The waiters spoke excellent English and immediately put a set of ‘taster’ hors d’euvres and menu in front of me. The menu had a wide selection of options - in portugese. After some 15 minutes I waved a waiter down to take my order which was Octopus Al Sardinha but I asked for no mashed potato, just more vegetables instead and a bottle of rose wine. I nibbled on a few olives and within 10 minutes I received my dish - surprising as the reviews said the service was slow! It was a whole octopus grilled on a small bed of vegetables and mio - they hadn’t added any more veg., just removed the mashed potato! It tasted very good and was not too chewy, so quite fresh. The wine also was very good. The bill for one main course and a bottle of wine was around €46, which also included nearly €2 for 6 olives, so is quite expensive, since they charge for bread and any ‘additions’. Overall a pleasant and very good experience, but not cheap.
