Restaurante Cacanito - Praia De Mira

We visited this restaurant many times over the years. still the best place to eat sardines. great location on the beach, sea view and relaxed environment. highly recommended.

We have visited this restaurant for almost ten years and it has constantly met the expectations. this is a restaurant for fish lovers meat lovers and vegetarians may not be quite as impressed,) it is dishes are simple, but they always use. exceptional quality ingredients; even the accompanying salad consists of products that sing and the fish. superb! the small fried fish for beginners are incredible and also make an excellent lunch. the location is also perfect: on the beach, opposite the constantly changing atlantic in full view of the sunset. the service is friendly, helpful, very efficient and the restaurant is always immaculate. there is an outside area that is particularly good for lunchtime. definitiw my favorite fish restaurant!

Among other things we ordered the fish and seafood catamaran for two pax. it is easy enough to eat for 4 people. came with some species of fish, garnel and whistle. most dishes in this opposite of portugal are seasoned with vinagre. this cataplana has. a light vinagre taste, unusual to other cataplanas in the country. the vinagre offers a beautiful opposite to the taste of the fish.

This was our favorite place to eat fresh ameijoas with sea view at sunset, so that we immediately went up at the arrival. but what a disappointment we have with the bad quality. this place is now from our lists that is a real shame.

Lunch after exploring the long beach at Mira. Caçanito was the last little restaurant on the beach side of the street. Many others were already closed at the end of the season. The waiter was helpful and welcoming, if a little overburdened on his own...with a half-filled property. But we were in no hurry. We selected sardines from the chilled display, since they looked so fresh, and we had found only frozen sardines further south. We had Ameijoas to start (a single serving of the shellfish) and a bottle of the house Vinho Branco, which was from nearby Cantanhede, and a perfect match to the food. The grilled sardines, all 12 of them, were served on a large platter with a salad accompaniment. They had been lightly salted before grilling, and the crunch of sea salt on the skin added to the flavour well. About half the fish contained roe, and all were done to perfection. With no room for a dessert from the meagre commercial ice-cream offerings, a café corto topped off the meal admirably. Unpretentious, friendly and good value for money.
