About COSTA FRIA

Dinner at Costa Fria, above Ericeira's Praia do Peixe, tends to end with people wondering why they waited so long to find it. The ocean view is the kind that stops a conversation, and the kitchen — running a menu that bridges Greek and Portuguese traditions — gives you plenty of reasons to keep looking back at the plate. Scallops, octopus, and sardines are what reviewers write home about most, and the crumble has built its own following. The gluten-free bread is good enough that first-timers don't believe it when the server tells them what it is. Staff take allergens seriously and pace the meal so the table orders the right amount — which, given the portions, matters. Vegan and vegetarian options are on the menu. Book ahead: the room fills.

COSTA FRIA 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, COSTA FRIA has drawn 13 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
