Adega Dos Arcos

Sagres, Portugal

Not a place one goes for the location - right in a middle of a simple residential area with no stores, restaurants around. Not a place one goes for the design - unless you are into Portuguese football teams and Portuguese beer brands. But certainly a place one goes to to have great, simple fish. As fresh as one can find given that the restaurant is just by the seaport and only serves whatever was available that day from the sea. Best to reserve because the queue can quickly become significant. But don’t worry, the plastic chairs outside are quite comfortable for the wait.

Restaurant

Es Torrent

Ibiza, Spain

Es Torrent is not your typical Ibiza beach restaurant. No DJ here. No party. No branded fashion line. Es Torrent is a very small fish restaurant, on a secluded beach on the south coast of the Island. Amazing food in a serene environment. Both for lunch or dinner. But getting to Es Torrent needs to be deserved: only a small and steep dirt road winding through the forrest will get you there. Finding it may not be easy. But well worth it.

Restaurant

Es Moli de Sal

Formentera, Spain

Literally perched on a deserted rock, this fish restaurant serves the freshest sea-food, in a simple but breathtaking setting. Accessible from sea or land, to try when on the beautiful island of Formentera.

Restaurant

A Cevicheria

Lisbon, Portugal

Very small, local and surprising restaurant in the heart of Lisbon. Fresh and incredibly creative raw fish of all sorts, form and colour served in a cool space. No reservation (they don’t even have a website !), so show up early and get ready to queue sipping a few “deadly” pisco sours.
