A Barca Tranquitanas

We’ve been to all top rated restaurants in the area but this one is really special and the one where you want to come back again and again. Lovely food, lovely stuff, amazing view, fair prices. They let us in and made food for us when we arrived after closing hours and were desperate to eat. They are the only ones who serve lunch after 16 and don’t send you away like other places. They are always friendly and happy to see you back. Definitely worth a visit!

This restaurant was a great discovery. Does not look anything from outside but wow the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had crispy shrimps, grilled octopus and trigger fish fillets. All were delicious and fresh with a bottle of white wine. Total about €57. Well worth 3km cycle from Zambujeira.

Amazing food, good prices, clean And amazing service! 100% recommend and 100% will return!

So friendly service and fresh seafood!

Absolutely amazing polpo and claims. The potatoes were also amazing. 🖤

I am very very seldom moved to write a review but this has to be an exception. Do not be misled by the fact that this great, good-value restaurant is disguised as a corrugated iron shack at a road junction. The ambiance is relaxed, simple but sophisticated, the staff unhurried, friendly but efficient, the wine list intelligent but not excessive. And the food was magnificent in its faultless simplicity. I had fish soup followed by grilled cuttlefish with clams and garlic, served with a well-recommended wine. I will come back for certain. Sadly, I'll probably have to book ahead if you heed this review. Perhaps I should've kept quiet about it!

We had a very tasty lunch here.
The fresh fish (salmoneta) was prepared delicious and was a great size to share for 2 people.
Waiter was very friendly.
At the end of the lunch time, the crew had their lunch also in the guest area, which in our point is a very good treatment and shows that the owners care a lot about the restaurant and their staff.

Delicious food
We had the ceviche and octopus carpacio and the kids had bitoque. Lovely view a very good surprise

On the top5 restaurants in Alentejo Coast. The best relation quality/price possible. Very good seafood and fish but the signature dish is “Choco à Barca” and it’s wonderful. Very nice staff and service with a good wine list

We came here for lunch and had to come back for dinner to try more delicious food! We ordered fresh grilled dourada for lunch (perfectly cooked!) and monkfish and pasta stew for dinner. The BEST food we’ve had so far in Portugal, can’t wait to come back again!!!

Had a great experience! The food is amazing. The service is very good. It doesn't look much from far away. But as the sun goes down and you've reached the end of the night, after some good food and wine, you know you've made the right choice.

The food was great and the staff as well !
Great place ❣

10/10! Super kind staff that cooked for us after 16.30. The fish soup was excellent. The vegetarian options, plenty. Terrace with ocean view and quiet road. Obrigada!

Amazing food, I was starving and it looked so great I completely forgot to take some pics. Beautiful place with an amazing sea view. Staff was super friendly and the from to the starters to the desserts, everything was exceptional. Make sure you book in advance

We were here during our roadtrip through Portugal and can recommend this restaurant with local food. I have tried the grilled octopus and it was very delicious.

Possibly my favorite restaurant in all of Portugal! I was in the area for only 3 days and had dinner here twice. Everything I ordered was outstanding, and the views of the sunset are blissful.

Really good! I usually have lunch here on my way to or from vacations, and it never disapoints. Fish, meat, seafood, everything is prepared with care and good taste.

Try filetes peixe pamplo com migas. Very nice typical Costa alentejana disse. Perfect spot to stop by when traveling.

Delicious fresh food especially the fish!

The.food is amazing and super fresh.
