In a town full of polished spots, Cantinho do Avillez is refreshingly down to earth. A go-to for Cascais’ crowd, it’s lively, local, and never too posh. Head here for lunch and stay for the vibes. Settle into a cosy booth -your little bubble- and order a crisp white wine with your fish soup or flaky cod. Lunch here moves slowly, in the best way: conversations stretch, second rounds happen; dessert feels like a given. The colourful interior hums with good energy, and the service keeps things flowing without fuss. It’s not flashy, but it’s full of warmth, laughs and a cheerful buzz that makes this a favourite place of neighbouring families and a place worth visiting twice.

The Ivens is a stunning boutique hotel, the design is stunning and attracts all sorts of creatives, artists, and Bohemians. It is truly a special property in the hippest part of town, Chiado. The restaurant, Rocco, is one of the hottest places to be right now for a delicious dinner or a great cocktail.
