15 Best Restaurants in Cascais With Ocean View
15 Best Restaurants in Cascais With Ocean View
Cascais is lucky to have something many destinations don’t: great restaurants with real Atlantic views. From simple beach spots to Michelin-star dining rooms, there are plenty of places where the ocean is part of the experience.
One important note: this list is not in order of preference. Some days I prefer a relaxed beach restaurant, other days something more refined. Sometimes it’s seafood, sometimes pizza, sometimes meat.
So instead of ranking them, I mixed everything together — fancy places, casual spots, seafood institutions and pizza with a view. The advantage? You’ll have to read until the end.
