“ Good place to eat, cozy home atmosphere. We ordered several plates to share, and especially Arroz e polvo (octopus rice, kind of porridge), and sardines were good. No MB Way was a bit inconvenient but there’s ATM just in front of them. ”
“ The best meal we have in Cascais! In the middle of tourist town this little gem is where the locals eat. We had Grilled Sawfish and Grill Cod (Bacalhau). Both dishes are great. Owner is very friendly. Price is very reasonable. They do not accept credit card. Please make sure you have cash ”
“ Best of the best! After visiting Melody, I understood that even after several years of life in Cascais, I have not eaten authentic Portuguese food until this moment. Look, this is unbelievably great place! And yeah, for me personally, it is a sign of truth, authenticity, real values and old school, symbol of days when everything was real, not plastic, like mostly now: payments are accepted in cash (or MB Way) only! Melody, you are the best, guys! ”
“ Traditional Portuguese restaurant. The sardines amazing, octopus very nice, all the fish we tried very fresh. Small restaurant with a tiny terrace but worth the visit given the quality of the kitchen ”
