… “the fisherman”: Authentic seafood and people – as natural and down to earth as it gets! We love that little family restaurant and would’ve starved many times after surfing, if it wasn’t for Luisa and Maria whipping us up some fresh seafood rice or octopus salad. Carlos and his helpers make sure all comes to your table in no time! If you want calderada (a yummy fish and seafood stew) or a good size fresh fish from our area, please call and order at least a day ahead. Seafood is always available, they also have veggie and meat options. Try the seafood Rice or the grilled octopus!
With first row ocean view and amazing traditional seafood plates, there is not really too much more to say: this is a must for food lovers! Not cheap, but worth every penny – and did wie mention the view?
Hidden away, at the tiny fishermen’s harbor, in Assenta lies this special secret restaurant: fish and seafood that will probably make you cry 😉 The restaurant is part of the local fishing club and “fresh” is programmed here.

Typical family restaurant with amazing grilled fish. The heart of the restaurant: its massive grill, where a typical “Jagoz” (= an Ericeira native) keeps control of all seafood. Noemia, her husband and their son will help you to choose your own special culinary object of desire which shortly after will be served on your plate. Trust us, you won’t forget this.
A magical place right on the waterfront, almost always busy! A variety of yummy starters will be served right away, which will, combined with the beautiful sea view, make the waiting for your main dish part of the experience. Definitely go for the gambas al Ajillo or the Robalo!
Reasonable priced, cool interiors, local owners and guests and a great variety of seafood, fish and meat. Also, desserts are fantastic! Our tip: the famous pregos (the Portuguese version of meat in a bread – our favorite worldwide version) or if you’re not in the mood for meat try octopus in corn crust. Yummy!
“Grasshopper” – the typical Portuguese restaurant with excellent value for the price. A must for every tourist who wants to experience Ericeira as a local.
