About Prim

Lunch or dinner at Prim pulls you straight into what Ericeira does best: serious grilling, no fuss, full tables. The octopus is the dish people come back for — whether à lagareiro or straight off the grill — and the mention count across recent reviews is hard to argue with. Picanha follows close behind, done the Brazilian way, and the tuna steak with sangria makes a pairing that keeps showing up in what people order. The swordfish rounds out a short list of plates the kitchen clearly owns. Portions are generous enough that the room fills fast and reservations at dinner are not optional — the space is compact and the locals know it. Service lands as warm and quick across the board, which in a surf town running at full tilt is worth more than it sounds.

Prim 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, Prim has drawn 7 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
