Sardinha

Really good restaurant where the quality of the food can be appreciated even by the people that are not expert. The prices are adequate and you cannot be disappointed by the dishes which are great. The position of the restaurant is not great but is the only problem. Greatly recommend

Very nice food. Super friendly stuff. Will be back.

Absolutely amazing experience at Restaurante Sardinha in Peniche. The food is simply superb — fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. Every dish felt made with care and pride. What really sets this place apart is the service. The service is outstanding: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Being a family-run restaurant, you can clearly feel the love and passion this family puts into both their food and the way they treat their guests. This is not just a meal, it’s an experience. One of those places you leave already planning to come back. Highly recommended

Rude waitress, telling me very rude way for me to stand up from my seat ,for her to serve another table, while I'm having my lunch. And come back again and grabbed the wine bottle from my hand without asking my permission/excuse,while I'm taking picture of the bottle (since I find the wine bottle is kinda interesting with a little arts on it). After all she ruined our lunch (we were super excited to having a great time with our family).

Unplanned visit to Peniche led to this restaurant and what a great surprise it was! Great selection of fresh fish with a prompt and friendly service. Owner came to help is cut the fish. The quality if the food was so good we ended up coming here twice!

What a nice restaurant! Gets very busy on weekend but service remains excellent. Food is so fresh and choices abound!

The place is nicely located in a side lane from the main street. It would be amazing if the vity could close the road for cars which would make the location even more perfect. The staff was very friendly, eventhough the language was a bit of a barrier. However, I got the food that I ordered and the grilled Octopus was really lovely. There could have been a bit lor vegetables on the side. Also it was ready very fast giving the impression that I might not be prepared fresh. But as the taste was great I am not sure about that. I would come back to the place :)

Came here for a late lunch since it had good ratings and was open till 4pm. Easy to find - follow the signs. Even at 2.30pm the restaurant was very busy with locals and tourists. The waiters spoke excellent English and immediately put a set of ‘taster’ hors d’euvres and menu in front of me. The menu had a wide selection of options - in portugese. After some 15 minutes I waved a waiter down to take my order which was Octopus Al Sardinha but I asked for no mashed potato, just more vegetables instead and a bottle of rose wine. I nibbled on a few olives and within 10 minutes I received my dish - surprising as the reviews said the service was slow! It was a whole octopus grilled on a small bed of vegetables and mio - they hadn’t added any more veg., just removed the mashed potato! It tasted very good and was not too chewy, so quite fresh. The wine also was very good. The bill for one main course and a bottle of wine was around €46, which also included nearly €2 for 6 olives, so is quite expensive, since they charge for bread and any ‘additions’. Overall a pleasant and very good experience, but not cheap.

Been here several times and plan to return. Why this gets a 2.5 is beyond me, feels like sabotage. I live nearby and can attest that this place deserves at least a 4.5. Tonight had the bacalau com liguerios and pannacotta for dessert. My companion had pasta with shrimp and clams, caramel mousse for dessert. A bottle of red wine from Setubal with the meal. All excellent. The food is always wonderful and the staff is knowledgeable about the wines.

I like it a lot! We went to have the Sardinhas and it was delicious and well cooked (with only salt on the grill but it is just the way I love). Simple but good. The starter bread was good too, hot and crunchy. The sallon is really noisy and crowded, and the dishes took like half an hour to arrive. This was a bad side. But service was nice and I liked the overall experience.

What a disappointment!! Second and last time for sure!! This is a fish place however upon ordering a Cataplana de Marisco for 2 people it was absolutely pathetic the amount and quality of fish that it contained. One mini lobster, 6 large shrimp, lots of toasted soggy bread, soggy fries, and about 6 to 8 mussels. It was served on a yellow sauce that let very little to desire. The quality of the fish for the price that was charged its really considered a complete ripoff. Be aware not worthy!!

The food was delicious! We shared a fish stew, MEANT for 2 people... BUT it was WAY too much. One warning, if they put something, like a platter of different appetizers... MAKE SURE THEY ASK YOU IF YOU WANT IT!!!! If you eat it, you're gonna pay for it!! We learned the hard way... It was brought to us, thinking it was complimentary, we ate from it. Then prior to paying... We questioned our waiter about an unfamiliar charge ...Keep in mind that he wasn't the one who brought it to us... .But told us we were asked if we wanted it. We informed him that we did not order this. He said his coworker must have asked us... (he didn't) Then he replied, "You ate it, didn't you?" To save an argument (cuz we were bothered by the fact that neither of us were asked. Our waiter was gracious enough to squash that part of the bill. Placing appetizers in front of hungry customers is a common practice in Peniche... I dont think this is a good idea... and it's somewhat unsanitary... I wouldn't want to eat something that was placed in front of someone else.. I mean, what if they touched it, tasted it or even sneezed in it. Not a good practice. Other than that, we had a nice dinner. Would I come back... ? Probably not.

We actually ended up here twice during our stay in Peniche mostly because it is open till late and we were in for a late dinner. The restaurant is really crowded, there are al lot for tables, lots of nice waiters, generally speaking food is ok, but nothing that picked my fancy. I found the restaurant very touristic, and that probably spoiled it a little, but either than that we cannot say that we have had a bad meal. Avoid sangria, is terrible!

My wife and I both had grilled fish which was delicious. Kids ordered, burger and steak and did not care for it. Fried egg on top put them off a bit but steak was under cooked and rather fatty. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere sitting outside.

it's a tourist trap: rather noisy and smells like old fish in there. the service was okay but our fish had been dry and overcooked. i have had much better dinner in more comfortable places for less money.
