We stopped at this great restaurant at the suggestion of our tour guide (Philip) who often goes there with his family. Very popular with the locals and confident in their restaurant in the fact that there is absolutely no signage on their building, just a white building.
Very expansive menu. Very good portions and excellent food. We had two cod entrée’s with a shared salad, along with a great bottle of green wine and a single coffee. Total bill was 42.95 EUR which was very reasonable. It’s always a good sign of quality when locals stand in line for a seat!

We met Maria, a native of Nazare, who told us about this place so we went there our first night and were not disappointed. Wonderful food and atmosphere and very good prices. We had a fish soup and fried shrimp entree, followed by the grilled fish for 2 which came with salad and boiled potatoes. It was all excellent, washed down with a half litre of house red and a glass of white. Finished up with an almond cake, total €40, which is brilliant value. Still drooling at the memory of the fish. The only disappointment was we couldn't book again for the following night as the owner is having a well deserved night off.

Even our children (8 and 11) were happy after dinner! Everything was sound: accompanying wine, portioning of the fish, attendancy of the staff, hospitality and so forth. Traditional recepies, but made of very fresh ingredients. Classical - but absolutely convincing. If you love excellent seafood - don't miss Tonico!!!

Usually, people waiting for tables is a good sign. Luckily, today it was. We only had to wait 10 minutes and as we were chatting to others it was fine. Prompt and friendly service. Good food and wine. No flourishes, just good food. A super lunch.

When me and my boyfriend went to São Pedro de Moel this September we went for a late lunch and found the restaurant empty but we were served the most fresh fish and clams in a creative and delicious "cataplana". We were explained the origins of this southern popular dish and were treated with the best atention. We will certainly be back to Brisamar and we absolutely recommend it!
9. Taverna do 8 o 80
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 523 reviews
The tavern 8 o 80 is the second home of a family business with scrolls on Nazarene and national restoration, the first being the tavern D Adelia. With one foot in the sand, the sea on the horizon, the eye loses itself in a decor that transports us to the ancient taverns, but where the refinement and good taste are of a contemporary environment. Situated on the beach of Nazare, 8 Tavern Restaurant o 80 is the ideal space for a meal on the waterfront, a late afternoon or early evening in one of the most beautiful Beaches of the central region. Let yourself be enchanted by the traditions of this fishing village and enjoy the best wine list by the glass, in 2013 highlighted by "Revista de Vinhos", or if you prefer, a gin made to your liking and measure! Visit us!

Literally just got back from our delicious meal at Taverna do 8 o 80 served by the best waiter João and had to review this place. It came highly recommended by the locals and is an excuisite combination of traditional and modern food. Everything was brilliant and I couldn’t fault the restaurant. Service was impeccable and the recommendations by João were faultless. We tried the sea bream ceviche, fried goats cheese and veal steak for two. Easily one of the best meals we have had in Portugal and an experience I felt needed to be shared.

I just re-read my enthusiastic review from 2014. Oh, the dreams of youth, the wild imaginings of another time...
Back on earth I have re-visited the restaurant twice and both were a real disappointment. The location is still lovely (if very hard to find without GPS/SatNav) and the service friendly but the menu and food are just plain ordinary if not, heaven help us, mediocre.
The inventiveness and delightful gastronomic twists to good Portuguese cooking have disappeared. What remains is not even that good, just OK. I could get the same food in almost any average "tasca" (everyday small restaurant) in the region. Yes, it's fine. You can eat a more or less decent meal but in no way is this an experience. It is as memorable as a bus stop, as inspiring as a tax return. It's just boringly average. What a shame. Nuff said.
