Looking for an unhurried lunch and dinner in Costa da Caparica, with your feet near the sand and the Atlantic in full view? Café do Mar is a beach restaurant on Praia de Santo António, serving fresh fish, grilled dishes and honest Portuguese cooking on a sunny terrace. Yes, we do wonderful seafood too, but what brings people back is the whole experience: a long lunch in the sun, a relaxed dinner as the light softens, and the best sunset on the Caparica coast. Here is everything you need to plan your visit and book a table.
Lunch & Dinner by the Sea
From the first plates at midday to the last glass at dusk, we run a single, continuous kitchen, so you can eat whenever hunger (or the sunset) calls. Drop in after a morning on the beach, settle in for a leisurely afternoon, or come back later for a beach lunch and dinner that runs straight into golden hour.
- Fresh fish landed for the day
- Grilled meats and classic Portuguese mains
- Lighter dishes, salads and sharing plates for the terrace
- Cold drinks, local wine and that unbeatable sea view
