Adega Oceano

; Av da República 51; d Aug €85; )
This cordial little ocean-
front place offers much nicer amenities than you'd expect from the exterior appearance.
The rooms should all have been remodelled by the time you read this; they are compact,
with flatscreen TV and excellent modern bathrooms. Those at the front have nice views
across the beach to the cliffs and waterfront. As with any place this close to the action,
street noise can be a problem.

; Rua Gomes Freire 9; d €70-90; )
Rooms at this seafront hotel
are brighter, frillier and airier than the musty and lugubrious halls might suggest. Bath-
rooms are clean and nicely tiled, and the two corner rooms (11 and 21) have little bal-
conies with great ocean views. Price varies according to the vistas; low-season you can
bag a room for half the rate. Streetside revelry can be noisy here.

A Tasquinha

(Rua Adrião Batalha 54; mains €6-10; lunch & dinner Tue-Sun)
This exceptionally friendly family op-
eration serves excellent seafood in a pair of snug but pretty tiled dining rooms. High qual-
ity and reasonable prices make it hugely popular. Expect queues on summer nights but
however many people there are, the delightful owners always try and squeeze you in, even
if it's at someone else's table! Top value.

This authentic, simple place on a
backstreet square serves good-value seafood, including wood-grilled fish and delicious
açorda de marisco
(thick bread soup with seafood; €11). Many nights there are more loc-
als than tourists.
