A Nova Estrela - Cascais

Very small and authentic restaurant for traditional Portuguese cuisine. We had an amazing lunch and really loved everything we ordered. Service was great! Inside lacks fresh air. Make sure the fan is blowing air right at you...

The back streets of Cascais are loaded with cozy authentic fresh seafood restaurants. We ended up in A Nova Estrella upon my daughters request. What an excellent find. A small restaurant with limited seating. We had to wait for about 20 minutes to get a table. The proud owner, Rosa took care of us personally with a smile and warm service. The food portions were larger than usual and pricing was very moderate. The grilled garlic Octopus with roasted potatoes was amazing. Fresh, succulent and delicately grilled. The Cod was equally fresh and succulent. Rosa offered us Almond liquor and Port on the house as we were too full to try the tempting desserts. Would love to try the other seafood items when we come back to Cascais. A must try!!!

Service and food A+. A lovely lady (I believe she could be the owner) served us and made the whole experience awesome. She was kind and really gave us good suggestions. We started off with a warm soup, followed by grilled octopus with potatoes. It was delicious! For the price and quality it is excellent. Plus a bonus of polaroid photo for memories!

Cod and Octopus were great! Tough the interieur looks a little bit strange, the food was really good. And the service was warm and friendly.

Amazing food and great service. This is a small gem on a side street, away from the tourist traps. We all had fish of the day, ans it was very fresh and excellently cooked.
