Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Restaurant with an expensive menu and good seafood and fish also provides meat meals
The great value to this restaurant is the view which from the balcony you can feel the see and that is just an outstanding feeling
Service is just ok ...

Dreamy location and view. Too bad food didn't live up. My cod was fresh but horribly overlooked so that it resembled cardboard. Bread was rustic but flavorless.

A good place to eat at the beach with big sized portions.
We ate monkfish rice which had a nice flavour to it.
However, the rice was a bit uncooked and the monkfish was chewy.
A well deserved 4 for the location and mostly for its staff.

We visited this place on July 31, 2024 at lunch time (we had already visited in previous years).
Room service/employed, friendly and humble!
Bad quality/price ratio!
It is not permissible to ask for 18 euros for a dish of co-introduction, poorly presented, poorly served and cold.
(Together photo)
What a horror! I've never cried so much for the 70 euros I paid for this meal, without desserts and without coffee.
At the entrance we order garlic shrimp (outgoing cooked shrimp spent in the pan) Very Bad, for a house that is called marisqueira.
For the main dish we ordered, bullshit sppetada (not bad) and co-entry chicks! (horrible, chicks like frozen calamares / 4 tiny potatoes)
I asked for an alpha salad to compose the dish, they presented me with an old alpha cross, burned from the cold, with rotten tips
I refused to pay (pity I didn't take a photo!)
On the exit I spoke with the manager of the restaurant, explained what happened and the answer was...” because I will talk to the kitchen”
On the same day at dinner, in the Caldas da Rainha, we paid 24 euros, for two very well served dishes, wine and coffee!
The next day we had lunch at the Solar dos Amigos, in the locality of Guisado, with everything we have right, in a typical very nice environment, table service and cooking of the 5 stars dishes, for 45 euros.
Just for the sight! It's not really worth it...
Never again... I learned the lesson!

I've known this restaurant for over 20 years. This time it was almost a complete disappointment. We ate gambas with bacon. The gambas were completely raw in the bacon zone, which is unacceptable for a dish that cost 28 euros. Then came naco in speto. which came with little meat and too spent contrary to the instructions given (22 euros). The green wine chosen - Quinta Casa de Penela was good and at a reasonable price (13 euros). As for desserts, the chocolate cake with ice cream was good (5,8 euros). The egg wrap was mini-sized and without presentation - it could have a mint leaf or an orange wrap, for example (4,5 euros). In short, what this restaurant lacks is competition in quality and prices. They don't count on me anymore.

Our family is visiting Sao Pedro de Moel and, we have now visited almost all restaurants in town. We can certainly say, Estrela do Mar is quite possibly the best! Not only the food is delicious, the staff is second to none. We highly recommend anyone in Sao Pedro do Moel, if you have not yet stoped by Estrela do Mar, do so and you will have a great dinner and amazing service.

Specialty: Seafood and fish from our coast, grilled meat and spatadas a lot and the famous Arroz or Acorda de Marisco that makes many turn on purpose to taste
Traditional service, very careful
There's a balcony over the sea from where we see the most beautiful sunset I know

We ate twice, starters and shrimps and mussels, followed by fish Robalo grilhado and sea bream. Deliciously prepared, great atmosphere with a view of the ocean. The size is nice and family-friendly and the service when it comes to fish is top notch.

We were told of this restaruant when we visited the sons restaruant in Andorra. On arriving the father / owner gave us a warm welcome and we dinned here on an evening and had a very pleasurable lunch visit as well. Quality of the food was excellent and well cooked and presented. The waiter was so helpful recommending local wines that werent the most expensive. His service was excellent and contributed to two excellent meals.

We had dinner at this restaurant and the experience was totally awful:
- The restaurant is crowded and very noisy. No issue here as it is a family and tourist place.
- Staff is not friendly at all.
- They brought the wrong order to our table three times!
- We ordered a sea food plate with three types of food:
o Fried shrimps, that were overcooked in too much olive olive.
o Crab (sapateira in Portuguese) which consisted in some of the inner meat of the crab swimming in mayonnaise. Where were the crab’s tongs and legs? No answer from the staff!
o Last but not least: barnacles, that should be very tasty, but they were not, they weren’t even salted! The staff took them away without any explanation or apology.
- Of course they charged us the full bill!
Please avoid this restaurant unless you are in risk of starvation!!!

Great food and a lot of choice. We took a local dish, arroz de marisco, which was very tasty. Great view of the ocean and attentive service. Nice terrace for lunch.

We saw the reviews about this restaurant and thought " it cannot be that bad " WRONG ! The waiter was rude, difficult and unhelpful when we made the reservation. We arrived 15 minutes early and he said to wait outside until the staff finish their dinner. This was 6.45 pm and the sign on the door said " open all day " on Saturday ! We had children with us.
The same waiter eventually offered us a table to wait - he slammed down the menus and went angrily back to his eating table.
This is a most unusual attitude to custoner service in Portugal.
If you OWN this restaurant - I strongly suggest you try to understand why customers are complaining.
We decided to leave the restaurant and had a superb fish dinner in the nearby Restaurant Bisamar. Wonderful service, great fish dishes and a very enjoyable experience.Very friendly owner.

This restaurant was recommended bu our hotel. We went with anticipation of a fine meal and beautiful view. We arrived at 7:30pm and waited to be seated or even acknowledged. There were two staff in the restaurant but they took no notice of us. We stood for 5 minutes but still no service. There was only one other family in the restaurant so they weren’t busy. We helped ourselves to menu and to browse our choices, still no service....we left and ate elsewhere.

The fish was out of this world - fresh, very well grilled, with superb side dishes.
The service was TERRIBLE! The servers were rude, did not take into consideration our requests, zero proper explanations.
It’s a pity that such excellent food is absolutely spoiled by servers who missed their Customer Service beginner classes...

Lastima que un restaurante con unas vistas espectaculares tenga un servicio tan mejorable. Buena comida, precios elevados. Poco personal y bastante desagradable. Repasen las minutas. Nos intentaron cobrar de más y al protestar la respuesta fue “de alguna forma tenemos que ganar”
It's a shame that a restaurant with its spectacular views has such an improved service. Good food, high prices. Little staff and quite unpleasant. Review the bills, please. They tried to overcharge us and when we protested the answer was "somehow we have to win"
