Authentic Stories from Diners
I ate here twice in a row. The grilled sardines were good (it’s hard to mess grilled fresh fish). The caldeirada needed 3x seasoning (I wouldn’t eat it again).
Excellent service, the waiter spoke French and noticed we were from Quebec. The food and price were very honest. Complementary port wine when we went.
Amazing lunch at O Varino, our favourite Nazare restaurant. A warm welcome, exceptional service and food was absolutely delicious. It was every bit as good as we remember from our last trip in 2019. Special thanks to the amazing chef Isabel who truly is the "Rainha da grelha"! We will certainly be back.
First 5-star review I've ever given. Freshest fish and shellfish we had in Portugal, amazingly genuine service, and great value, what else could you wish for? The Arroz con Mariscos was divine, and so much better than anything in Porto or Lisbon. Went for dinner and again for lunch the next day. Would do the same every day I'm in Nazaré. The other clientele was almost exclusively locals, which speaks for itself... Just a really special place I feel lucky to have experienced.
Lovely early evening dinner. Chose to only take the olives for starter, they weren't too salty but yet very tasty. For main we shared the swordfish and the seafood rice. Both dishes were delicious, right down to the green beans on the side. The chocolate moose for dessert and the wine were divine. Overall a scrumptious meal with great service.
