On the May 1st holiday this year, we went with the family to Ericeira, one of our favorite places in Portugal. We parked the car in the center, drove through the cute little streets, took lots of photos – especially in the Praia dos Pescadores area – and then drove for 5 minutes to have lunch at a place recommended by a friend, Onda D´Mar seafood restaurant by Furnas.

Our experience at Onda D´Mar

I already liked what I saw when we arrived at the super spacious parking lot and saw a large house with windows facing the sea. What a cozy place!

We went in and were immediately served and taken to our table, which according to them was one of the best because it was round and in the corner with a view. We loved the aquarium in the middle of the restaurant with lots of lobsters and fish and every time we got up to go to the bathroom, we took a peek there.

We ordered jamón, bread, garlic prawns, soup for Ju, cod, octopus a lagareiro, prawn curry and desserts at the end, and we left very satisfied. My dish was the curry and it was simply sensational. The service was impeccable too and fortunately the place was not completely crowded and noisy, quite the opposite. It was full, but the noise was OK and the children even found little friends at the tables around them.

It is certainly a quality family environment and therefore, a must go in Ericeira.

I hope to return one day!

Here's a tip 🙂
