Forte Santa Catarina

We lived in France for 3 years, and have just moved to Portugal. We found this place by accident when the place we intended to go to was fully booked. What a happy surprise. The restaurant is set in an ancient fort, beautifully lit with a wonderful atmosphere. We greeted by the friendliest man ever. They had two guys quietly playing background music, so we chose to sit near them. My partner wanted cider so the man bought out all the ciders on a tray so he could choose! Coming from France where there is service with a scowl this in itself was mind blowing! He gave the history of the fort and invited us to have our drinks on the rooftop terrace while we waited for our food. The terrace overloo...

The place is very nice and the staff is excellent but the quality of the seafood and the final price let it down. It looks cheap by the 22,50€ cost of the all you can eat seafood but at the end of the meal with a few beers you are paying easily 40€. If it was worth it I would be fine with it and I have had great seafood there in the past, but this tine the seafood was not very fresh and not very good. The service on the other end is excellent and very kind.

We had 2 burgers, know that there is a wide choice of burgers, it's the same for drinks. I advise for those who like sangria to take the pitchers at 15€ rather than a single glass (because with that you will have 4 and a half). If you eat at the top there is a very nice view but bring a small jacket. The staff is very nice, the service is top notch.

This is a small fort on the waterfront at Figuiera da Foz. It has a unique design for the time it was built. Within the walls there is a restaurant (did not try) and a small bar with the bar being open at different times than the restaurant from what we saw. Reserva una mesa ahora

This restaurant offers a very big seafood platter for 22,5€ that is fresh, you get all you can eat for that price and has a very good offer of wines. The only remark I had is that was a little bit too salty.

Just order the seafood platter and be ready to deepdive into Portuguese cuisine. Some of it is technically difficult to eat but the staff AND the locals are ready to help. Awesome experience!

Don't need to look for another place if you want to experience a sea fish all-you-can-eat. Characteristically noisy place, but you won't regret it. Book in advance.
