The best restaurants Ericeira

Its privileged location on the waterfront makes it the perfect place to take a break at sunset and enjoy a cold beer accompanied by the famous canned bread, all while listening to the sound of the waves. We will admire its ceiling covered with wine boxes and the lights suspended at the end of thick ropes. You will be warmly welcomed and well advised on wine. Just next door at number 24A, you can find its gourmet restaurant where you can enjoy fish or seafood dishes.

A few steps from the mercado, this family restaurant has a room on the first floor, decorated with all the kitsch marin (tiles and fishermen's nets). A great option to eat the fish of the day (sold by weight), roasted lulacs or pink pageot. Alternatively, you can also try some grilled sardines. The lively house is frequented by locals (it's a good sign) who discover the undeveloped map of the day, but only good or very good! Some of the servers speak French. You will not be disappointed.

This establishment is famous for its prego no pão (the famous beef sandwich), carnivorous friends you are warned! This is an ideal place to eat locally and cheaply, which is becoming increasingly rare in the small village of Ericeira. This restaurant even has its own coat of arms, like a historic house. Here you will find mainly burgers and other meat-based sandwiches but also soup as a starter, all served with homemade beer. There are a few tables on the street to enjoy the sunny weather.

Located along the ocean, near rua das Furnas, towards the yacht club not far from Santa Maria Park, this is a superb restaurant (with a neighboring marisqueira for seafood) with a seafront terrace. A warm welcome awaits you as you choose your fish of the day, which will be grilled on a barbecue by the grilled fish chef and his acolytes. In an irresistible kitsch marine setting (ropes, knick-knacks, colored porcelain...), the ocean invites itself to your table.

Sunset Bamboo Bar boasts the largest tostas (XXL tostas) and it's true! You'll have a hard time dealing with it on your own. Unless you have an ogre's appetite or are at least two to share, we advise you to order only one half. We wonder where they get the bread to get such large slices. To refresh yourself, you can choose fresh fruit juices such as guava or mango or detox juice. Otherwise, you will also find pancakes, açaí bowls...

This pastry shop, which also serves as a cafeteria, is a great option for lunch or dinner at any time of the day. It will also be your best option when the other restaurants are closed. There are several addresses in Ericeira, but we recommend the one overlooking the square with its terrace. On the menu you will have all the traditional snacks, sandwiches but also dishes or salads. Everything is very good with very reasonable prices. The team will welcome you warmly and the service is impeccable.

This recently opened establishment offers bistro-style cuisine. Located in a small and quiet street, you will be able to have a brunch or lunch in the sun on the terrace, without being disturbed by cars. In your plate, the flavors mix to create original and gastronomic dishes. Those with a sweet tooth will love the brownie and its miso caramel sauce. For those who prefer salty food, you can be seduced by mac'n'cheese with truffles or steak tartare with seasonal fruits and cashew nuts.

This chain, which also operates in Lisbon, is a great place for a snack break or a quick lunch. The concept is simple: filled croissants with a wide selection of toppings. Choose from sweet or savoury options! Because yes, in Portugal, the croissant is an option for a savory sandwich... The croissants are baked throughout the day, so they're always fresh and crisp.

Not far from the seafront and just outside the town center, this restaurant offers vegetarian cuisine and brunch formulas at any time of day. Its aim is to offer healthy yet tasty cuisine, breaking away from the clichés we may have in our heads about vegetarian and vegan dishes. Popular with locals and tourists alike, you'll need to arrive early or be prepared to wait for a table. How can you resist this plate featuring a mountain of pancakes with banana and hot chocolate flowing down the sides?
