Beach restaurant on Praia do CDS, famous for its caldeirada and grilled fish, with a sister beer hall next door. Open daily except Wednesday.

Barbas's restaurant
O Barbas is an institution of the Costa da Caparica: it was founded by António Ramos, "o Barbas", a Benfica fan known all over Portugal for his beard and long hair, who came to Lisbon aged 12 from the Beira Baixa. It is on the sand of Praia do CDS, on the urban seafront, with a terrace over the beach. Next door is the Cervejaria O Barbas, from the same house.
What to order
The speciality is the caldeirada, the fish stew of the boats, with a recipe the house does not share. After that, the grill: sardines or horse mackerel, sea bass, gilthead bream, sole or turbot. There are cataplanas, seafood rice, prawn açorda, clams à Bulhão Pato, mussels and spider crab, and for those who do not want fish, the "bife à Barbas". Homemade desserts, from egg pudding to almond tart.
Opening hours
The restaurant is open from 12:00 to 23:00 and closed on Wednesday; the beer hall, with the same hours, is closed on Monday. So on Sunday you have both. In summer, at lunchtime, it fills up: call ahead.

Qué pedir: the caldeirada, which is the house dish, or grilled fish to share; for dessert, the "delícia da praia".
