Reviews
This is a good restaurant. We had a very good dinner for five, including the steak, Caesar chicken salad, and steak tartare. In this, as an entree, we had the beans, popcorn squid, and something else. Anyway, the food was excellent. It was really, really good. The service was fantastic. Everything about it was great. The only downside is the crazy thing going on with the tax not included in the prices. I am unsure why this happens. Restaurants should be confident enough to stand on its own two legs.Lose the tax-free pricing and just own it. You're actually a really good restaurant.
I must say we were disappointed with the experience. The service was very slow, this wasn’t due to business infact it was verh quiet. So slow that our drinks stayed on the side of the bar so ages… once the beer came it was warm. The food was very average, wouldn’t come again. The seating was very good as there was a balcony type thing so you could get fresh air with it being cold due to heaters.
Last night my partner and I ate at Mana. The atmosphere was cozy, comfortable and pleasant. The music wasn’t too loud, and each song shaped the relaxed dining environment. I ordered the Duck Magret, and it was delicious. Duck is one of the hardest meats to cook right, Mana prepared it effortlessly. My partner ordered the mushroom risotto which was rich, creamy and tasty. To finish off we had a delicious chocolate mousse. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Cascais.
Loved every second. SO DELICIOUS!!! I had the steak sandwich and has easily been my favorite thing I’ve had so far. Great atmosphere, kind and helpful staff, and yummy food! 10s all around!
We were able to get a table without having a reservation. Started with a local beer for my husband and a glass of white wine for me, both excellent! The salad with the pears and Gorgonzola was outstanding! Clean, bright flavors, beautiful presentation. I had the duck with parsnip purée and pomegranate. The duck was cooked perfectly, and was sublime. My husband had the roasted cauliflower and hummus, which was also delicious. We took a slice of the lemon cheesecake back to our hotel room, and it was a perfect sweet end to a great meal! Service was impeccable, warm and friendly which is what we came to realize is the Portuguese style of hospitality. There was an older gentleman selling roses, which was so sweet! Great for couples wanting a relaxed, romantic evening!
