Restaurante Bistro 1956

A bit hidden and not easy to find by walking by but this definitely is a pearl. Excellent and refined food for a fair price. Great atmosphere on a terrace overlooking the sea in the vicinity including sun downer.

Wow, best seafood I’ve ever eaten, cannot recommend this place enough. We had the octopus and chorizo skewer and the tiger prawn special, all cooked to absolute perfection. The desserts were lovely too. The staff and owner were so welcoming and friendly, really great atmosphere, we will definitely be back when next in Portugal!

What an amazing little terrace dinner that overlooks an ocean view through some buildings. For starters our waiter was incredible, so attentive and polite while seating us right away! We started with the 1956 sour and tropical drink and they were so delicious. Then my wife got a soup while I got the grilled octopus for appetizers and that was hands down the best grilled octopus I’ve probably ever had. For mains we got the mushroom risotto and she got some sort of shrimp pasta, hers was so good but that risotto was absolutely the best I’ve ever had and I’ve been to both Italy and Sicily! So good, such an unsuspecting little place we will definitely come back next time we are here!

This was such a great little spot my husband and I found for dinner. We felt welcomed the moment we arrived. The food was wonderful — some of the best octopus and risotto I’ve ever had. The service was also warm and attentive. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for an enjoyable terrace dinner!

We dined here tonight and immediately felt the need to review. It was by far the best meal we’ve had in a long time, and we eat out a lot! Not only was the food divine, but the quality of service was superb. It’s a little off the beaten track, but it’s absolutely worth it, and you’re guaranteed to avoid the touristy food. You can tell that everything is fresh and of premium quality, hence the super photos! Really looking forward to coming back with friends.
