About Charroco

Setúbal does seafood seriously, and Charroco is where locals go to prove the point. The fried cuttlefish is the order — it draws more attention than anything else on the menu, and for good reason — followed closely by the fried rice, which keeps appearing in what people write about the place. Clams round out the table for anyone who wants to go further. The room has an appearance that pulls you in before you've even sat down, and the staff who know their regulars make the difference on a good night. Worth booking ahead for lunch or dinner rather than leaving it to chance.

Charroco 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, Charroco has drawn 29 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — a measure of how actively its reviewers have been writing lately.
