Cuca

Nice food nice service, nice atmosphere. As you can see in the picture the fish is really fresh. We had the anchovies, delicious. Also codfish omelette. We came at 11.50 and the waiter kindly told us to come back after 10 minutes. But eventually he served us a beer and the 10 minutes went flying. The prices are unbeatable and the service is second to none. Keep it like this! Obrigado!

Small restaurant in an area with lots of others, we entered a bit by chance, following a short and heavy rain.
Specialty is fish, fresh from the day, perfectly cooked and delicious. Nothing fancy, just ultra fresh and well prepared.
Children could survive thanks to meat and French fries.
Dessert are all home made, displayed and with a nice choice.
I would recommend this place without hesitation.

A no frills local restaurant that serves beautifully fresh fish at a very reasonable price.

Best Sea Bass I've ever tasted! We dined here on the suggestion of a painter working on my friend's house. The owner rises early to fish and displays his catches for you to select. Perfection.

The very freshest seafood, a cozy and welcoming environment, and all at a great price!

Simple authentic food, done well.

Excellent fish. I had sea bass which was super tasty.

Such delicious fresh fish... it all tasted amazing! Simple yet extraordinary! And the staff are SO hard working! This is the authentic Algarve, right in the middle of the downtown. Muito bem!

Quite a good restaurant i would say.
I advice you to make a reservation before going.
The restaurant is quite popular.

Love time to time to have a lunch at Cuca. The restaurant speciality is grilled fish. Always fresh and tasty for affordable price. Lunch for two with wine will be around 25-35€. At high season it is difficult sometimes to arrange a free table. In Vila Real de Santo António no one restaurant accepting advance reservation. So, i would suggest just to come earlier.🤗

Simple good portuguese food. We had the tuna salad to start which was fresh and delicious, grilled seabream (exquisite), grilled salmon again lovely and then the pork belly and minute steak (very simple thin steak not the tastiest cut but at 8€ its a steal). For 4 adults (including a small jug of wine) the total was 65€. Bargain and delicious

One of my faves. Their fritada mista (assorted cuts of fried fish) is outstanding and their grilled fish is always very fresh. Make a reservation or show up early (12:00 to 12:30) because this place is popular and fills up fast.

Small family run restaurant specialising in fresh fish . No fancy menus, no fancy wine lists just good quality fresh fish served on the bone . Well worth a visit .

Best fish restaurant in town. Very reasonable prices. Fresh fish. Top friendly staff. Delicious! We are dining here each time we are here.

We ate a fresh and very tasty grilled anchovie. The orange cake (torta) was not homemade and also very tasty. The service was compete.

It is a very good family restaurant, the sword fish was done perfect, the service very good and friendly, very popular with the local people which says a lot, good value.

As authentic as the tourist area offers

Outstanding food and service, highly recommended fresh and delicious!!

Everything was amazing !!! Thumbs up !! 🙋🏻‍♂

This is the place to go to for great fish.
