Went for an early dinner and got one of the last tables available, others came after me and still waited a bit for a table. Nice food and reasonably priced, service was ok.

This is an amazing restaurant because: 1. It is only open for lunch 2. They have only one main course dish: grilled sardines 3. You can eat as many as you want (they refill your plates!) 4. The sardines are delicious 5. There's a sign in the restaurant that says (politely) "If you don't like the service, you don't have to stay'. 6. You can have the eat-all-you-can sardines meal for a mere 10 Euros. 7. It's located above the beach but with perfect beach and sea views.

Super local little place with a big reputation, we waited an hour to get a seat for lunch and didn't regret it. From a table outside, there is a great view of the beach. The service was chaotic but charming and the food was spectacular.
We drove out of our way to get to this place and it was worth it.

Nice entries (sheep ricotta cheese and cold meats, bread and olives)
Mixed feedback on the fish plates: skate, very good, fish-rooster, on the bland side.
Dessert on average level -- butter-cookies cake.
Very nice and attentive personnel.
Fabulous space and surroundings.
A little mishap with the reservation: it was lost, somehow, but that did not pose a problem, at all.

From the start to the end, this is definitely the best italian rest in Figueira da Foz, and perhaps in Coimbra district. All the pizzas are great, light and made at the correct italian way, tasty, unforgettable. The pastas, anti-pastas and Deserts are all great. The staff is completely "crazy", the best italians in sympathy.
Try the Vesuvio Pizza (if you can eat all) or the tagliata (fantastic!!!) and for dessert the semi-fredo (unique!)
Don't miss if you are around

If you are enjoying the beautiful (but cold) Figueira da Foz beach, or simply driving or walking along the beautiful seaside road in Figueira da Foz, you can go to this restaurant, located only a few hundred meters away.
The food is very good, either fish, meat, seafood or desserts, are all very good. The service is very good too. The restaurant is not big, so you may have to wait a while to get a table.
7. O Peleiro

Located in a former tannery it evolved from simple tavern to a large restaurant. Generations have changed but kept the art of cooking and the main strongholds that continue to attract diners: Stone Soup and Oven Baked Goat. In familiar surrounding you can find other specialties: Cod in the Oven, Pork Cheeks and the “Couvada”, a delicious mix of cabbage, bread, garlic and olive oil. Several kebabs (squid, prawns, beef and pig) are greatly appreciated.

Having been a place where furs have been prepared (O Peleiro) the place turned into a very good restaurant with very good food and an excellent choice of wine.Also the appetizers are always very tasty and of course the "Sopa da Pedra" -Stone soup,which is a heavy beansoup with all parts of pork meat.May be in between some hot Shrimps with some garlic sauce and you roll out the restaurant fully satified.

I came in late and in a cold night so I was the only one in. Service is quite good as well as food. This is the tipycal place where the locals come for take home food. Probably in summer time it is more... warm.

Reviewed By RussK54 - Centerville, Ohio
We were looking for someplace serving an early dinner, with a focus on Portuguese cuisine. Casa Havanesa was perfect. The degustation menu provided six different tapas, all of which were good. And we could have seconds of any we really liked. Our favorites were the fried kingfish, and the black pork, which simply melted in your mouth. So after two helpings of each of those (plus the dessert and glass of port), we waddled out of the restaurant very happy.

My boyfriend booked this restaurant as a surprise for my birthday whilst we were on holiday, and it couldn't have been more perfect!
The food was superb, plenty of tapas options and the staff were very helpful in providing recommendations.
The wine list is extensive and we weren't sure which one to go for. The waitress came with a recommendation and we were initially worried it would be expensive but it was incredibly good value and refreshing of the restaurant to recommend one of the cheaper options!
In addition to what we ordered, we were given 'special bread' and a glass of port, both of which were complimentary and tasted delicious.
The dessert 'the vine' was a chocolatey treat that comes in the form of a plant pot - worth seeing for yourself!
Loved the wine box decoration on the walls, great little restaurant and really nice, relaxed atmosphere.
Would highly recommend!
One small thing to note - book in advance via phone if you can, we booked via Facebook a month in advance and they didn't recognise the booking when we arrived. Quickly sorted it though.
