1. Bacalhau&Afins
Overall Ratings
4 based on 531 reviews
Specialist in cod fish and he's derivatives ..... also with choices of fish and meat .... We believe in customer sensitization to the possibility of each starter, main course or dessert , to set aside a vinic harmonization . Besides a signature cuisine ,

Most English people coming to Portugal will shudder at the idea of Bacalhau - salted cod which is actually the national dish not sardines - mostly because itâs far too salty for Anglo Saxon palates. However there is an exception to the norm and Bacalhau & Afins serve the salted cod (bacalhau) with a modern twist, furthermore the way they prepare the bacalhau most of the salt has been removed and itâs well within the tasting palate of most non Portuguese. So if youâve never tried the delicious salted cod known as bacalhau this will be a good place to dip your toe into the water of this rather delicious foodstuff.We had the âovos com bacalhauâ - in reality this is a quailâs egg wrapped in bacalhau and potato - not unlike a scotch egg but with salted cod - completely and utterly delicious. You get two as a starter so fine for sharing or a good brunch for one!The mains consisted of bacalhau à Zé do Pipo - fried salt cod with buttery mash, veg and mayo - again not too salty and acceptable to the English palate. The other main was Bacalhau with a seafood risotto with clams prawns and mussels- again utterly delicious but very filling.The quality of the food is very high and I would recommend this place to any non Portuguese person who wants to try salted cod - bacalhau- for the first time. The only problem I can see is that when you have elsewhere it wonât be as good as it was here!!!

Four of us had a very nice lunch here sampling some Portuguese specialties......I had the sardines which were tasty as well as a tuna salad, my husband had grilled fish, our friends tried the cod which was too salty for them, but the beers were excellent and the ambiance of sitting outdoors in the pedestrian area made up for what might have been lacking in the taste department. There are so many restaurants to try and so little time, and we found that every place we chose could not be gourmet fare......this place gets pretty decent marks for a light lunch!

I ate here with a friend while staying locally, the TripAdvisor reviews paint a pleasant, atmospheric picture of a unique tapas style bar / restaurant. It's not. I wouldn't say it had a lively or even ambient atmosphere, it's very quiet & almost library like inside. You feel like you'll get told to keep it down if you speak too loud!! Food was ok/average, nothing special just ok. We had a special local Portuguese sausage dish, which was ok and as a vegetarian I looked at the menu & wondered what to have, 1 option (literally 1 choice) but credit to the waiter he said the chef would "knock me up something ", it turned out to be a spaghetti with various vegetables & a soy sauce, it was a bit salty from the sauce but it was thoughtful of them to make me something. But the restaurant allows smoking inside, not a separate area or corner of the room but anywhere you want. I think it's unacceptable to allow this in a modern restaurant, it's certainly off putting while eating & the table next to me is puffing away like a chimney......Overall it was a very average meal, service was poor due to lack of enthusiasm & personality and the smoking was the final straw. I wouldn't go back again & wouldn't recommend it either.
