Food Scene
One of the best restaurants in Cascais, attended by locals and tourists.
If you can, make a reservation for lunch in the oceanfront terrace and you might want to give a try to my all time favorites there:
- Starter: "Marinheira Style Clams"
- Main: Monkfish fillets.
But you can't really go wrong with any fish or seafood choice.
Enjoy ! :-)
