Time Out Market Lisboa

Monte Mar

monte mar

The best fish and shellfish from the sea of Guincho.

If you have never been into a restaurant on the road to Guincho beach, this is your chance to try one, right here. The Monte Mar at the Mercado da Ribeira is a scaled-down version of the original one on the coast road outside Cascais – which in the opinion of Time Out is the best restaurant in that area – offering almost everything except the ocean breakers. There is fish and shellfish from the Atlantic, of course, but also that classic Cascais dish: filetes de pescada com arroz de berbigão (hake fillets with cockles rice).

Time Out says “Being lucky enough to catch a day when the waves crash before you as you eat locally caught prawns, warm and salty, is an almost religious experience. And then those hake fillets – fat and shining – with rice with cockles and a fantastic tartare sauce … this is a dish that should be classed as national heritage.”
