"Booked a table by the window with a view of the ocean.
Prawn curry served with rice and a sweet relish - not spicy and slightly sweet. Bean soup was light.
Black Forest cake for dessert was light and a little odd with the strawberry on top as it’s usually a cherries. Cake was light and not too sweet but could have done with some kirsch. Coffee was great.
Also got some cookies to go and they were all different in taste and extremely tasty and well made.
Service was outstanding."

"Great coffee time with excelent desserts. Pavlova and Crem Brûlée was perfect. If you don’t know what to choose you can always ask a nice lady there she is absolutely gorgeous. Whatever you will ask is better than you know from the past 😂. But it’s true. Everything is so delicious 😋. Maby except the burger …."

"Incredible. Went here for breakfast on holiday and it was amazing. The atmosphere was brilliant and peaceful, despite the amount of people there. I ordered French toast with banana and it was amazing. I also had their hot chocolate with salted caramel which was just so smooth and rich. Staff were lovely and quick considering the size of the restaurant and everything came within a more than reasonable time."

The best of Estoril
Best known as a pastry shop - one of the finest along the Cascais line - but it is equally excellent as a restaurant. Take note - they only serve lunches. But what they do serve is of the highest quality: from home-style food such as omelettes and croquettes - three croquettes and a side of rice will make a child (and an adult) happy - to more complex fare such as prawn curry or the famous Garrett steak.
Restaurants in Estoril
This pastelaria has been serving delicious cakes, pastries, and other goodies since 1934, and is more popular now than ever. It serves full meals at lunch, but the real pleasure comes in taking your pick from the glass display cases of custard tarts and other confections before sitting down to devour them alongside an espresso, fresh juice, or a glass of Portuguese wine.
