The fish was beautiful and fresh. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone. However, the absolute “must have” accompaniment for fish in the restaurant is the “açorda” (a type of bread sauce, quite traditional in Portugal). It was totally divine; the best, the lightest and...tastiest I have ever tried. Don’t miss it!More

Penultimate night in Portugal and we decided to treat ourselves. Searched Trip Advisor for a local recommendation and decided to give this restaurant a try. Perfect! Service was great, food was delicious and a local wine list, which included our currently favourite Alentejo wine -...a really nice bonus. Clearly a restaurant with a large local following too. Lots of people queuing to get a table - I am glad we got there early. We had a lovely evening - thank you 😊More

No doubt, Cascais is a great tourist town. We are here for a year and Vela Azul has become one of our favorites. It is outside of the tourist district in the Fisherman"s Village. It is a family run restaurant and if you sit in...the first room you can look into the kitchen and watch your meal be prepared. We watched the women preparing the food and the feeling was that we were watching what happens in every Portugese kitchen for dinner. Absolutely authentic with great service. Everything was fresh and the deserts were all home made and the service was excellent.More

The fish is really fresh,well prepared.Good selection of wines,not expensive. The staff is nice and helpefull.And the home baked desserts are amazing too.

Located off the beaten track this restaurant holds a simple premise - excellent fresh produce beautifully prepared in a traditional Portuguese style. If you, like me tend to be more a meat eater they also have some nice steaks - but you should try the...fish. Uncertain of what to order? Go for the grilled fish. The types of fish on offer vary every day depending on what has been caught. This is a family operation - which in Portugal usually means the best restaurants for good food, good service and cheap prices. The decor is unpretentious and functional with two dining areas, a small one as you enter and another room. As soon as you enter you will see all the different types of available. The Portuguese tend the leave the fish whole on display, this is so the locals can themselves judge the quality and freshness of the produce. A must visit, and if you're not a fish fan, you will certainly become one once you taste how fish is supposed to be prepared - no nonsense, rock salt, olive oil and a charcoal grill.More

...this is the place to go! Traditional Portuguese meals, made with fresh fish and seafood. Simple menu, friendly service. Always full for lunch.

We had dinner here last night. Traditional Portuguese cuisine with a great selection of fish which is displayed for you to choose from. Our waitress helped us choose fried fillets de groupa with tomato rice and grilled sole with spinach and boiled potatoes. We were...both delighted with our choices as the fish was fresh, tasty and tender. If you want to sample the local cuisine and atmosphere, try this restaurant - it's excellent.More
