What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Emma Beach Club & Restaurant is praised for its superb beachfront location and friendly service, offering delicious food at reasonable prices. While many enjoy the unique seafood dishes and relaxed atmosphere, some find the beach loungers overpriced and the service can be inconsistent, with occasional issues regarding food timing and staff attitude. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a popular spot for beach days and dining with a view.
"€40 for 2 sun loungers and umbrella (cash only).
Sat on the beach on the sun loungers, the two staff that were working on the beach taking orders were lovely, excellent customer service and very friendly! :) The daiquiri’s were amazing and the beach is lovely."

The best beach terraces on the coast
The restaurant at Praia da Conceição in Cascais is ideal for a snack on beach days, but it’s also a great option for lunch or dinner with a sea view, without stepping onto the sand. It’s suitable for family outings as well as for a romantic dinner for two. And it’s no coincidence: everything has been designed to meet the needs of this popular area, right on the beach with a view of Cascais Bay.
Cascais Food and Drinks Guide (updated 2025)
I love the buzz of this place and I have spent many afternoons hanging out in the sunshine here. Located right on Praia do Conceição. There are only a few tables outside but just find an empty spot on the wall and the staff will come and take your order.
