About Residente Cascais

Harder to find than it should be in Cascais centro, and better for it. The kitchen runs a menu that moves between Portuguese and further afield without losing its footing: the cocktails draw more mentions than anything else on the list, and the food follows close behind with korean chicken, croquetas, gnocchi and moqueca as the plates people keep coming back for. The shrimp tempura earns its place as a starter worth ordering. Service is the other reason regulars return — Afonso, Mariana and Sabrina are named by locals as the reason a meal tips from good into something worth seven stars, and a recent visitor's server took the time to walk the table through the euro conversion trap that catches tourists off guard.

Residente Cascais is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.

In the last 90 days, Residente Cascais has drawn 31 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
