Food & wine
Grilled fish by the harbour, octopus by the beach and sunset tables above the ocean. These are our favourite places to eat around Lourinhã.
By the sea
Praia do Areal Sul · ~10 min
Beach bar & grill · sea view
Celebrity chef Chakall's relaxed beach restaurant, right on the sand next to Areia Branca. Argentine-meets-Portuguese grills, salads, tapas and brunch, made with produce from the Oeste region, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Perfect from lunch through to sunset.
Praia da Areia Branca · ~10 min
Modern Portuguese · panoramic view
On the clifftop above Areia Branca, with views over the beach all the way to the Berlengas islands. Portuguese cooking with international touches, from lobster salad and stuffed crab to seafood rice. Book a terrace table for sunset.
Praia da Areia Branca · ~10 min
Traditional seafood · on the beach
A classic right by the sand on Areia Branca's seafront. Octopus is the speciality: try the breaded octopus with bean rice, octopus rice or octopus fritters. Closed on Mondays.
Atalaia · ~15 min
Hotel restaurant · ocean view
The restaurant at the Noiva do Mar resort sits above Porto das Barcas beach, looking out over the Atlantic towards the Berlengas. A good choice for a special evening with a view.
Close to home
Lourinhã town · ~8 min
Seasonal & local · vegetarian-friendly
A town-centre favourite cooking with local, seasonal produce, with a menu that changes through the year and always at least two vegan main courses. Look out for its octopus dishes during the octopus festival in May.
Porto Dinheiro, Ribamar · ~5 min
Seafood · by the fishing harbour
Down by the fishermen's slipway on our nearest beach: generous plates of fresh fish and seafood with no fuss, just a few minutes from the house.
Praia da Areia Branca · ~10 min
Indian · vegetarian & vegan options
For a night off from fish: a much-loved Indian restaurant on the square behind Areia Branca beach. Try the shrimp pakora, lamb tikka masala and garlic naan; spice levels adjusted to taste.
Taste of Lourinhã
Octopus festival. Every May, restaurants across Lourinhã take part in the Quinzena Gastronómica do Polvo, a fortnight of special octopus dishes, from classic polvo à lagareiro to octopus ceviche.
Lisboa wines. Lourinhã sits in the Lisboa wine region, where cool Atlantic breezes make fresh, easy-drinking whites and reds. Ask for the local wine by the jug or the bottle.
Aguardente DOC Lourinhã. Finish with a glass of Lourinhã's own aged brandy, from Portugal's only demarcated brandy region.
