This wonderfully quirky restaurant is a delight to dine in. With a huge octopus sculpture suspended from the ceiling, pristine white surfaces and duck and fish patterned shades, it’s quite the sight to feast your eyes on.  The food is bold and fresh whilst the drink selection is sublime. Be sure to try the king crab dish which is a big favourite.

This amazing restaurant not only offers astonishingly good seafood, but it’s also presented in a beautiful way that you might even call art. With fresh fish elegantly presented on azure plates with wildflower, O Chefe e o Mar certainly takes on board the old adage of the first bite being with the eye. Some of the most-loved dishes is the black swordfish with mash potatoes and the grilled cuttlefish. You’ll also find a great wine selection too.
