Paulinha

Stopped in mid-afternoon, we were Paulhina's only customers. She served us the most delicious food! We were only going to eat half and take the rest home with us. And we did take it home - in our bellies. The more touristy restaurants a couple of streets over are all good, I'm sure. But if you want something quieter and home made ambience along with chef-homemade-food, stop in here for a visit. You won't regret it!

What a wonderful find!! Just a few steps away from all the tourists and oh so tasty! We had the Dourado, the Tagliatelle, the Moqueca, and the Bifanas do Frango assado. Every one was mouth wateringly gooood! The woman who owns the place is lovely, kind, and speaks English. We ate on the outdoor patio. They even have gluten and lactose free desserts, which was a lovely surprise. Please spend your money here and not down at the tourist traps. Your soul, your wallet, and your taste buds will thank you! Sorry for the bad photos. We started eating before we remembered to take photos.

We had the Bacalhau con nata and Cod confit. They were both very good. I did like con nata much better. Grandma was the cook, cashier and waitress. It takes about 20 minutes after you order for your meals. Home cooked Portuguese meals. Her chocolate cake was oh so good.

Highly recommend. The food was made by a woman that clearly loves to cook. She was so sweet and explained all the options to us prior to ordering. Cash only but she did speak English! Would definitely go back.

What a find! The lady who runs this place is very sweet, and evidently puts her heart and soul in to the food on offer. I had the hake and my girlfriend had the codfish, both delicious. A bottle of wine in the sun, no complaints. Obrigado!

Great local food and wine done by a very nice super friendly Portuguese lady. Thank you Paulinha 😊

Nice little restaurant run by a lovely lady who was warm and reminded me of my family back home. Codfish with potatoes was insanely tasty and fairly priced for what you receive. Would highly recommend to try.

Nice little restaurant with delicious food and a very kind lady running it.
We had two fish dishes and both were super tasty and quite reasonably priced.

This was the most authentic lunch we had on our Portugal trip! The owner managed everything on her own and was such a sweet and nice lady. Very welcoming. We call this kind of food “Mamma kitchen”, like if your mum made you this dish and you can feel all the love and tradition she put into it while cooking. We loved it here, we loved her, we loved the food!! Hidden gem for sure!
She lived in Brazil for 25 years but is Portuguese so that’s why some of her meals got a Brazilian twist to them.
The food was incredible. The fish was so nicely seasoned with garlic and cilantro, and she asked beforehand if we love cilantro or not. The smashed potatoes were good too and the salad was very fresh and crispy.
For dessert I had a piece of her perfectly baked chocolate cake, which was one of the best I have ever tasted.

Will definitely come back if I’m ever again in Cascais/Lisboa.

Great small restaurant with delicious local food. We tried codfish with potatoes and cream and grilled codfish. Both dishes were very tasty. Restaurant maybe don't look modern like some others in the town but food and wine definitely deserve highest rating. Paulinha was very nice and friendly.

Everything is fantastic, food atmosphere, service, great experience!

The sweetest lady inside, running the place by herself. The bacalhau com natas was possibly the best dish I had the entire week in Portugal. Highly recommend.

So happy I found this restaurant by chance. Food is gorgeous, homemade with lots of love. Paulinha is a very talented and lovely cook who takes pleasure and pride running her restaurant. It is so genuinely atmospheric, you feel like you are at Paulinha’s home, in her kitchen.
The Brazilian style fish was really nice and the desserts were just divine.
Why is not very restaurant like that?

Amazing food and lovely service!

Great service, great food! Would highly recommend if anybody is in Cascais

If you’re curious what it would be like to have a Portuguese grandmother, this will answer that question! The sweetest lady greeted us, took our orders, cooked the food, and served it for us too. I felt genuinely guilty not doing the dishes. The food was as authentic as you can get, and the chocolate cake was absolutely amazing (and gluten and sugar free but honestly you won’t know or care).

Great, friendly service. Food was amazing including the cake

We couldn't have found a better place to eat in Cascais, and Paulinha is a very kind host. Highly recommended!

Really good atmosphere. Sending all the best from Slovakia.

Very friendly service, good food (bacalao con nata), reasonably priced. It's small, so you are lucky if you get a table.
