Mar à Vista

Top choice in Ericeira


Crustaceans of every kind are on display at this hearty frill-free local marisqueira known for its shellfish (no fish, no meat). Phenomenal crabs (both santola and sapateira) are eaten from the shell, while lobsters (both lavagante and lagosta) can be whipped up into memorable seafood rices, massadas, açordas and cataplanas.

Excellent starters include doses of oysters, clams or garlic shrimp, all accompanied by beer on tap or a fresh white wine. Cash only. Reserve ahead!
