Yes, there are some upscale restaurants nearby. While wandering away from my tour group, as was typical of me, I was fascinated by the village of sheds and what appeared to be some eating place tucked inside. I’d just been up the promenade at the fish market (don’t miss that either) where I’d eaten and was already full. But ROSA MARIA FIDALGO (pictured here - on the right - with a dear friend, maybe relative or coworker - we spent most of our time pantomiming and laughing, who wanted me to post something of her) is the queen and leading presence here. I speak NO worthwhile Portuguese. Didn’t matter. Place was unexpectedly clean, so not he typical ‘dock shack.’ A restaurant was carved out of the open space beside the new-ish shacks. Open air grills and tent-like awnings. Fishermen were coming in or heading out, stopping for a bite and a beer, while I ate my sardine and drank my (it was well under a euro) short beer. The atmosphere was more than just welcoming and decidedly working class. The food was simple, salty and delicious. Far from expensive. Picnic tables and a limited menu. I regretted having eaten elsewhere. You’re entering a community, away from the ‘city lights’ of the town and its attractions. But it is well, well worth it.

The best bar ever with amazing food!
This is a really chill place in the Fishermans huts which is mostly attended by locals but they are so welcoming and friendly to tourists too.
They cook grilled sardine sandwich for €3 super tasty. They make fish soup and other food. Fish is fresh from what they fished that morning.
They serve drinks very cheap.
They sometimes have parties and all the locals get together for a dance but anyone is welcome and we were invited straightaway for the nights party when we went to eat there in the day.
Lovely scenic location, seating available and toilet.
So friendly and lovely, great place
Most authentic place in the city. Highly recommend visiting it, if you are looking after basic local vibe. People working here couldn’t be more friendly. 10/10.

Acabamos aquí por casualidad, los restaurantes de la zona , con colas para entrar, además de muy caros. Leí una buena reseña y fuimos. No es un local cerrado, es como un chiringuito de playa, es un bar para los pescadores, auténticos portugueses.
Éramos 4 pedimos 20 sardinas, nos trajeron ensalada y pan. Las Sardinas grandes bonitas sabrosas, deliciosas. Acompañaban las Sardinas 3 patatas cortadas . Bebimos 1 botella agua 1,5 litros y una jarra cerveza.
Pero me pareció caro. Pagamos 47€ los 4.
Pedimos 2 raciones más de pan y 1 ensalada más. 20 sardinas 2 platos ensalada 3 de pan y 1 jarra cerveza: 47€.
Eso sí, nos chupamos los dedos con las sardinas. Mira las fotos
Increíble sitio local, sardinas riquísimas y ambiente igual, una pena haber llegado tarde al caldero de pescado, estaría buenísimo. Recomendable 100%

Sardinha assada da boa!! Na hora!! Batata cozida tradicional, pão e broa e salada de tomate, pepino e cebola!
Mais tradicional impossível!
Mais que comida boa é tradição, são gentes com devoção ao santo padroeiro que as guia nas suas lides da pesca e afins.
Que bem que me soube este almoço! Vou voltar, absolutamente!!
Que maravilha.. local mais típico português não há.
Sardinhas assadas na hora, num mini assador.. 5 de cada vez.
Esqueça os restaurantes caça turista e venha comer umas sardinhas neste bar .. em vez de estar 30min à espera ao sol, por uma mesa, num dos restaurantes próximos.
