Lisboa Portugal - Caldas da Rainha

Highly recommend this restaurant! The seafood rice and octopus were amazing. The rice especially had a lot of seafood. They also kept our wine cold with a wine ice pack! We also tried their three fish dish; the salmon on it was amazing (wish we could have just ordered the salmon). Make sure to make a reservation using Google maps.

This little gem is mighty! Paõlo sat us quickly and was attentive. The olives, bread and oil was our starter. I had the sea rice and my husband had the grilled bream, both were delicious. Despite the cozy quarters, everyone is there for the food and accommodates the limited space. They have 3 locations on the same street, don't be discouraged by the line. Be sure to talk to them about seating options.

This restaurant is on the small side, but they have another location down the street? I saw the host take some people there. We didn't have reservations, but were able to snag a seat by the entrance. They have sardine cans and brown paper with drawings on them as decor. My friend got a glass of wine and a beer while I opted for a lemonade. She also ordered some olives to snack on. For entrees, we shared the arroz do Mar and polvo assado no forno. I believe this spot won some awards. The food was pretty good! There was plenty of seafood in our dish and the octopus dish had good flavor. It was a good thing they take credit cards because we were low on cash!

Went to Duque for dinner on May 5 2025. My wife likes the ceviche. Octopus is good but not as good as the one we had in Madrid. The Tiger Shrimp is ok, nothing special. Pork cheek came out delicious. Small restaurant space is very tight. I would rate it above average. It just does not have the WOW factor

We went to some amazing restaurants in Lisbon, but this is the one I can't stop thinking about and am dying to go back to when I'm there again in a couple months. I absolutely love seafood and pretty much always opt for seafood over anything else. My seafood dish was great, but after tasting my husband's duck, I was seriously tempted to order a second entree so I could have more of it. The whole meal was wonderful, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about that duck. I can't wait to go back. (I really hope they still have that duck dish!
