Reviews
Fresh fish, great service! Dinner from 4, server suggested we share the Sea Bass. Paired it with a lovely bottle of Portuguese wine. Portions were generous and everything was prepared perfectly.
This is a 3.5 Stars overall rating that is reluctantly rounded up to 4 Stars instead of rounding down. They are not as meh as a 3 Stars; they are not as good as 4 stars, either. If this was in the US or elsewhere, I would give them three stars. I have learned that in Portugal, plainly cooked seafood is the norm. Sete Mares is located across from a hotel with a ton of tourists from out of the country. Their guests are a mix of locals, business partners, and tourists like me. We arrived without a reservation. After a few moments, we were seated just fine. Service is reserved but also ‘commanding’ with ‘you should try this and that’. I am considering it as language difference. No biggie. The restaurant is sizeable with loads of seafood on display – very classic Portuguese style. The Food: Shellfish Bisque, 3.45€ - 3.5 Stars Shellfishy, somewhat bland, but also somewhat tasty, with several housemade croutons. It’s good for a bit of warmth in the tummy. Sole A-Là-Meunier, 32.95€ - 4 Stars This preparation is French style, sauteed in butter and served with lemon. The fish is cooked just right. Hubby liked the lemony butter flavor. Grouper Grilled with Potatoes and Vegetables, 28.95€ - 3.5 Stars The grouper itself is cooked just right. The flavors are nonetheless lacking and too simple overall. But I did enjoy the quality of the fish itself.
We really enjoyed our quick lunch. It was very busy for a Monday lunch so glad our hotel, Corinthia Lisbon made our reservation. Shellfish bisque and a creamy vegetable soup as entrees had great flavour. We then shared bread, garlic prawns and a mixed salad. Also very good. We will be back
This place perfected the grilling of fish! Spiced and cleaned to perfection! The potatoes were tender and the green beans were cooked right! Delicious traditional Portuguese food ! We enjoyed our visit because we had the best food! Thank you to the chef! 👌🏽
