The restaurant is very popular, highly recommend you to book or else you might not be able to get a table at the spot. I saw mixed reviews in the latest reviews. My personal experience was excellent, great food at reasonable price. The potion of seafood rice for two person is very generous. We eat until almost puke but still cannot finish it. The starter we ordered is shrimps, tastes fresh and sweet. The staff are very busy running around to serve customers, but still have smiles on their faces 😊😊🌈 will come with more people next time or else will order something else😆😆

Very nice local authentic fish restaurant.
They have got a display of fresh fishes, which the waitress kindly introduced us and gave her suggestions.
Fish was very well done.

Delicious choco frite (fried cuttlefish), grilled lulas (squid) and dourado (sea bass). Very nice house white wine and good octopus rice. Better service than at some of the other popular restaurants in town.
Great location for views of the river and people watching!

This is a very competent local restaurant offering local dishes. Don't be put off by the multi language menu. Order from their specials which is on their front page of the menu. Their fresh fish (displayed in the front counter) was very good as well. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Traditional food at its finest. Not refined but you’re sure to get a good meal out of it. Try the takeaway daily options, it’s 7€, enough for 1 or even 2 depending on how much you eat and they change it “Prato do dia” daily.
To me their special dish is “arroz de lingueirao” but you have many traditional dishes to choose from (specially tuna)

Two years ago my wife and I and friends ate at O Pescador restaurant and very much enjoyed the experience and the food . The restaurant is also in a scenic location looking out over the River Guadiana. Consequently, my wife and I again visited O Pescador on a day trip to Vila Real de Santo Antonio…

Avoid this place. We ordered what was promised to be a similar fish for €15 each after they couldn't give us a clear total price for the €60/kg Sea Bream (Dourada). The fish served was terrible and completely inedible. We sent it back, and they offered us an omelette instead—which is not what you e…

Had an absolutely fantastic meal at O Pescador. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. Every dish came out beautifully presented and you could really tell the quality of the ingredients was top class.
The staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience f…

A disgrace.
We were charged €5.20 for tap water.
4€ for a mini cheese that we did not order and 2,80€ for the cutlery. The tuna told me it was red, hahaha when I asked.
Anyway they laugh at this place of the Spaniards in our own face.
I don't recommend it. Nothing special. Expensive for what it …

Bad service, no sympathy, no food suggestions, bringing things to the table without any will, the facial expression of those who attended us showed even discomfort in being at work.
More employees and equal sympathy...
We ordered the food of the day, supposedly should be quick, which took a long wa…
