Taberna do Ganhão

Peniche


This 'new-school tavern' is a reconstituted 'old-school tavern' where fishermen bought wine and groceries (plus it was the first in the area to have a telephone). The current owners have reinvigorated its spirit by maintaining its red-and-white-checked tables and elevated traditional daily plates (sweet and sour fried chicken on Tuesday, cuttlefish with garlic on Friday and so on).

In the evenings, grab a beer and a petisco (tapas) or three (€5.50 to €13.50 per plate). It's in a stunning location at the end of the causeway.
