Sagres Restaurants

Yes, this place is a little touristy and you could probably find a slightly cheaper restaurant. A Tasca is still worth a visit and a good meal. It literally sits right on top of the port and you can enjoy a great meal on their large terrace looking out towards the ocean. They serve seafood caught by local fishing boats and it’s all cooked or grilled to perfection. Some of the dishes are a bit of a mouthful like the giant prawns (shrimp) pictured. Their house wines are from the ‘DAO’ Region of Portugal, so it just cannot get any better. You receive good portions of great food at A Tasca. The service is slightly slow, but polite enough.

In addition to many types of grilled fish, they also do smaller tapas dishes, squid kebabs and stews.

Please note: They are open during the Winter, but closed on Wednesdays.

Favorite Dish:
I had the grilled sardines starter and was brought 5 large sardines marinated in oil. They were spiced to absolute perfection. I asked for the house red and was pleasantly surprised with a bottle of ‘DAO’ wine that went down very well. For my main meal I had grilled swordfish that was served with a salad. A large and very fulfilling meal! All this great food was served in absolutely fantastic sunshine and fresh air on their ocean-view terrace.
