Art-
fully blending the traditional and the modern, the formal and the whimsical, this great new
restaurant specialises in produce from the deeps - fittingly, given its location opposite the
fish market. The talented young chef produces fresh modern cuisine, giving confident new
outfits to longtime local staples. Book for the popular Sunday brunch.
Maré Cheia
(Rua José Rabumba 8-12; fish per kg €36; lunch & dinner Thu-Tue)
Maré cheia
means 'high tide' in
Portuguese, but the adjective
cheia
(full) applies equally to the counter and dining room at
this fabulously popular seafood eatery, complete with 'meet-your-meal' fishtanks. You'll
often have to elbow your way through a crowd of locals just to get your name on the wait-
ing list. It's a great place to try the local
enguias
(eels), served fried, grilled or
caldeirada
(stewed).

Rua Mestre Jorge Pestana, São Jacinto; mains €14-18, fish per kg
€25-40; lunch & dinner Tue-Sun)
A block back from the waterfront in São Jacinto, this no-
frills family restaurant has the best fish in town and, many say, the region. There's always
a big variety of Atlantic species, simply and deliciously done - try the eel stew too.
