A harbour tasca with history

Tasca do Joel is in Peniche, on the edge of the fishing harbour, and takes its name from its owner, Jael Martins, Joel to everyone. The cooking is fish and seafood fresh from the fish market, with traditional Portuguese recipes. In 2018 it was renovated and gained a bar at the entrance for a drink while you wait for a table, and a small gourmet shop.

What to order

The fish of the day and the fresh seafood are the reason to come. They have two wines made with Dirk Niepoort with this cooking in mind. The desserts are the family's: Joel's mother used to make them and today his wife does, although the rice pudding and the traditional cakes still come from the mother's hands.
