3/26/2023 0 Comments Restaurante amarra o tejo ementa![]() □Largo Alfredo Dinis, 1, Rua do Ginjal 5, 2800-252 Almada This is the kind of vibe which is increasingly lacking in Lisbon’s city center’s seafood restaurants, so if you care for this kind of thing, do not miss out. ![]() Even if it’s neither lunch or dinner time, you’ll see plenty of locals at Farol de Cacilhas, particularly sitting by the counter, enjoying a cold beer and a serving of tiny shrimp which around here are snacked on almost as if they were peanuts. Farol de Cacilhas has been open for over 100 years, having become known for the quality and variety of its seafood. Farol is one of Cacilhas’ most iconic seafood restaurants and one you just can’t miss, as it’s the first establishment you’ll see when you step out from the boat which would have taken you here. Where to eat seafood in Cacilhas and AlmadaĪs mentioned above, Cacilhas is a great place for seafood and those living in the Greater Lisbon area sure know about that. Besides fresh fish and other sea creatures, there are plenty of other tasty options you can sample around here: Overall, this is a great spot to avoid the crowds which often concentrate in Lisbon’s city center, knowing that there’s plenty of Portuguese culture to soak up around here.įood wise, us locals associate Cacilhas to seafood restaurants and outdoor terraces, perfect for a complete meal or simply for a beer with a snack of tiny shrimp. Nearby, you could also visit Casa da Cerca, which is a contemporary art center by Almada’s municipality. When you come to Almada we’d suggest taking some steps away from the waterfront, and visit Almada’s historic center. You could easily walk between Cacilhas’ dock and the Sanctuary of Christ the King, going up the hill taking the Boca do Vento panoramic elevator – that is, after stopping for a drink and a bite somewhere along the way. Strolling by the riverfront, Cais do Ginjal, is by far the most common activity for those crossing to Almada. This is the area most visitors on a day trip end up exploring and, even if the area isn’t all that vast, there’s plenty to see, do and eat around here. But, for the sake of our virtual trip there today, we’re exploring the areas roughly between Cacilhas and the imposing statue of Christ the Redeemer (known locally as Cristo Rei), and which encompass Almada’s city center. Being a municipality, Almada includes other localities, such as the popular beach area of Costa da Caparica. The boats known as cacilheiros take you to the port of Cacilhas, which is part of Almada. As such, there’s no excuse why you shouldn’t hop across the river, if nothing else, for the sake of enjoying a meal there, with extraordinary vistas towards Lisbon. To reach margem sul, as we refer to it in Portuguese, it only takes about 15 minutes by boat from the super central station of Cais do Sodré, right across the street from the popular Time Out Market. Why? Because this is often where you’ll be able to meet local people, get acquainted with Portuguese lifestyle and enjoy an authentic vibe which is often elusive in more touristic areas.Īfter having shared travel and food guides for Lisbon neighborhoods such as Marvila, Benfica, Ajuda or Alvalade, today we’d love to take you to the southbank of the Tagus river, to Cacilhas and Almada. But, way beyond the more obvious activities, places and even dishes, we take it as part of our mission to invite you to also explore neighborhoods in and around Lisbon which tend to be less visited by international travelers. ![]() It’s part of our job to introduce you to the best things in Lisbon which you just can’t miss when you travel to Portugal.
