This is a very small village near Sintra with one of the greatest landscapes Portugal can offer. I like the ocean brease between the rocks and I very much enjoy the restaurant on the ocean side. Try it.

The restaurant is built on the cliff which offers a beautiful panoramic sea view. You wont be disappointed about the selection of fresh seafood however there's a big pricetag attached as well. Make sure you book in advance.

The restaurant is very well located, overlooking the sea, in one of the most pleasant locations around Sintra. The food and service are good enough, although a bit expensive. The decoration is cosy and the tables on the balcony, facing the sea, are very nice. We went there on a week day and there wasn't a wide variety of fresh... More

We were amazed with this location. Ocean. Rocks. Shape and sound of waves. Color of the water - always changing. Misty and humid, salty air. Don't miss this place if you're there!

There's no denying that this restaurant is in a fantastic location, right on the seafront. You arrive in the daylight and the sun sets while you enjoy your meal. The food was great - you choose which fish you'd like - but if I was being picky I do think it was very expensive. But you're paying for the view... More

Azenhas do Mar is a little old village located on the cliffs. The restaurant itself, is down, almost on the beach, with a great seaview. Fresh fish, with good staff, but could improve a little. Price is not cheap, but well worth the visit. Overall experience is excellent.

We "discovered" Azenhas and returned twice to eat there. Located above a large sea pool, the waves crashed a few metres below and so it was a wonderful theatre with the windows opening in the January sun. The staff spoke excellent english and we sampled fresh barnacles, razor clams, and grilled octopus. Ask for a window table in the non-smoking... More
