About Mar das Latas Wine & Food
Mar das Latas Wine & Food sits oceanfront in Ericeira's heart, commanding one of the zone's most coveted sunset vistas. The venue pairs a casual wine bar—stocked with an extensive garrafeira and organic selections—with a intimate restaurant serving creative small plates built around premium tinned conservas and seasonal ingredients. The kitchen executes a two-seating dinner service with meticulous timing, delivering dishes that balance refinement with unpretentiousness. Six-year regulars and first-time visitors alike praise the "buzzy energy" and attentive service; the sommelier guides wine pairings with precision. Signature plates—sardine nigiri, shrimp gyoza, Caesar cabbage, Bacalhau à Brás—showcase technical skill and ingredient clarity. The cosy, dimly lit interior and waterfront terrace transform the final hours of daylight into theatre, making this a destination for both casual aperitifs and full dining experiences.
