Tasca da Avenida

Not sure if its the palette we are typically used to but we found everything here just alright. The curry lacked flavour and was like no other curry I've had before (even compared to curries in states, and other Asian countries). it was rather cloying after awhile. fish soup was pretty good tho with the essence of the fish captured. choco Fritto was well done but some of the chips tasted a bit bitter and might be slightly overcooked. generous portions tho! Service was normal. not crazy amazing like what others mentioned in the reviews. there were flies in the restaurant which was slightly annoying. A lamp to get rid of the flies might be a good option.

Great food and service!! The owner was super helpful suggesting gluten free options for us. Very helpful! We had corn flour crusted cuttlefish, shrimp done in a garlic, white wine, cilantro sauce and roasted green peppers. We loved everything!

We were there with 6 persons for dinner. Even without a reservation, we were able to get a seat! But it's better to make a reservation. It was very busy. The food was excellent! The fried cuttlefish is highly recommended! The service and staff are fantastic!

We had a great time at Tasca da Avenida—their Polvo à Lagareiro was absolutely amazing: perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The staff and owner were very friendly which made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

This is such a lovely restaurant. It is something you should try if you are visiting Setubal. I recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is small. Their food is consistently good. I always opt for the mixed seafood dish without rice but have tried the seafood rice too. The cuttle fish is always great here and so is the risotto but a standout is the octopus! We come here often.

Restaurant Review: Tasca da Avenida Located in the heart of downtown, Tasca da Avenida offers a delightful dining experience with its clean and inviting ambiance. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. We tried the Caril de Gambas (Shrimp Curry), Polvo à Lagareiro (Octopus), and Bitoque de Frango (Chicken Steak)—each dish was wonderfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The restaurant is conveniently situated near plenty of paid parking spaces, making it an easy choice for a hassle-free meal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking superb service and delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere.

We had a wonderful dinner here with our 2 yo daughter. We felt REALLY looked after. They normally dont make bookings after 7:30pm but were happy to assist us as we were coming from Troia by ferry so couldnt make it before. We settled for the tapas, and loved the bolinhas de alheira (alheira croquettes) and the gambas com alho (garlicky prawns), salada de choco frito (this is a really generous cuttlefish portion so do share amongst a group if you re not big fans like us) and finally the pica pau. The chocolate mousse was just amazing at the end! They have the normal one and the “experience” one where you can combine it with the local olive oil, salt, lime and pink peppercorns. The service was wonderful & the staff extremely friendly. Couldnt recommend more. Note: if you re tired of the Troia Marina restaurants, this is a wonderful local place. Not your tourist trap at all, well priced & yummy food. Not pretentious at all. Its a 15 min walk from the Port but a good way to see the main downtown of Setubal. The ferry works around €9 euro per person for return. The ferry is running mostly every hour - check locally depending on season.

Came across this gem on our visit to Sebūtal. Must try the towns famous cuttlefish and also see the adorable cuttlefish display just a few minutes from the restaurant. Food and service are amazing, would also highly recommend the octopus. Ask the waiter for recommendations and you can’t go wrong.

Service is good as well as the food is so good. I liked Octopus Salad. It's perfect with vinho blanca!

A nice place that has changed hands too often. Offers a fresh ambiance , different from the hundreds of fresh fish restaurants. Nice variety of food. Really good service if Paulo is there; ask specially for him. If you wish to try something outside the grilled fresh fish typical in town, it is eventually the best place to go.

Great food, great service, great location, you can sit back relax and enjoy the infamous Avenida Luísa Todi, do try the shrimp curry highly recommended! The ambience is clean cozy and the music is nice and relaxing.
