Restaurante AQUARESTO by Vilas Marrocha

Amazing experience! The octopus was perfectly cooked — tender and full of flavor. The spinach risotto was creamy, fresh, and delicious. Great food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at a very family-friendly seaside restaurant, thanks to very nice and welcoming staff, a nice atmosphere with a view of the sea and cozy decorations, and outstanding food—from tender grilled octopus to a really, really good pistachio cake.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were very nice and welcoming. Our waiter guided us through the menu, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt looked after. Meanwhile, another staff member gave the toddler we had with us strawberries throughout the evening. The restaurant is truly very family friendly: we generally felt welcome, and a playground nearby was a real bonus.

The atmosphere is nice, with a view of the sea and cozy decorations that create a relaxed, inviting vibe.

The food was great. I had the grilled octopus—the octopus meat was very tender and tasty. The sauce with beans, chorizo, and vegetables was very rich and also tasted delicious. The rice that came with the dish was nice and sticky, never dry. Others in our group selected fresh fish from the daily catch, and everyone was very happy with their meals.

Desserts were also really, really awesome. I tried the pistachio cake with lime cream—light, nutty, and perfectly balanced by the zesty lime topping. It was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time.

All in all, a wonderful evening that exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to return.

If you’re looking for great food perfect friendly service here is the place to be.

It was an honour and privilege to celebrate my birthday 🎁 down there.

If you’re searching for a comfortable place to have a fancy dinner you’re always right.

Thx 🙏 so much for this amazing experience you guys are the best we’re definitely coming back.

We just had our best meal in Portugal so far! Lamb shank fell off the bone and chicken supreme linguine had an amazing sauce!

September visit and this was less busy and crowded than in peak season. Restaurant has a cosy, private atmosphere. So close to the beach. Good selection of seafood and fresh catches available. More fine dining vibe. Beautiful presentation and well cooked dishes. The squid was incredible and cooked with ink, juicy and flavourful. Grilled octopus was incredible.
