Fish on the rocks of the Furnas
Esplanada Furnas is, as its name says, at the Furnas, the rocks with tidal pools south of the centre of Ericeira, with the sea just below. The decor is nautical, like the inside of a ship, and almost every table looks onto the Atlantic. It belongs to the Furnas Group, which has other restaurants in the town.
What to eat
Fish and some shellfish. At the entrance is the display case: you choose the piece by the kilo and they grill it for you. Depending on the day there is red porgy, gilthead bream, grouper, turbot, wreckfish, sea bream, sea bass or sole, and among the shellfish goose barnacles, tiger prawn, lobster, spiny lobster and clams à Bulhão Pato. Ask the price of the piece before they cook it.
Opening hours and getting there
It is open every day from 12:00 to 16:00 and from 19:00 to 22:30, on Sunday too. Book on the website or by phone. It is five minutes' walk from Praça da República, heading down towards the sea; by car, park up in the centre, because there is little room next to the Furnas.
What to order: choose the fish of the day from the display case at the entrance and order some clams à Bulhão Pato to start.
