Cabrinha A - Almada

If you like sea food; crabs, lobster, clams, tiger prawns etc and wish to try local fish dishes, this is a really good place to go. Very popular, very busy, prepare yourself to wait for a table to be vacant (10-20 mins) if you have not booked in advance. This place has lots of Portuguese style character. Enjoy it.

We only knew about this place because a friend had lived in Lisbon for some years and told us about it. Yes, it means crossing the river but it only costs a few euros and takes 10 minutes plus you get views!. There are one or two meat dishes but really it is all about the fish and shellfish. Note that the English menu does not include some of what is in the chiller cabinet so remember to have a good look in it before you order. Not a great deal of English is spoken in the restaurant so be prepared to point and use whatever Portuguese you have. We had some wonderful clams, followed by grilled squid and their fish rice dish, all very good. We were the only non-locals in a very busy, busy restaurant.

If you are looking for a real fish restaurant you should visit this place. Crew is cheerful, care and also good advisor to make a decision. We ordered monk fish rice and it was delicious if you are spicy person you should ask for pepper sauce they have. In the starters you should try the goat cheese. And after the fish if you are willing to honor your palate order farofias. Bon appetite!

Great local restaurant, good prices, good food the bacalhau was supreme!

Atendimento muito simpático, boa comida e ainda um rosé antigo e conhecido (Mateus Rosé . Comi um espeto de lula com arroz e salada. A porção foi mais que suficiente.
