A great place for fresh fish dishes from the grill: Restaurant O Pescador @ Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve (27. December 2022)

| February 26, 2023 | 0 Comments

One key learning I’ve had for the Pine Cliffs resort – always book early. It actually turns out not to be so easy to find a place which still has availability, but eventually the fish restaurant O Pescador would still be available. It started with a little bite (i.e., a ‘beef tatar on a piece of bread), which was nice to get your palate started, but I found a bit strange since it’s a fish restaurant.

Next, I went for the “bulhão pato clams” (EUR 29.00) as a starter and while they were definitely good, the price is quite steep for a small portion, and it’s not EUR 29.00 good to justify the price.

The main course, on the other hand, is absolutely fair in terms of pricing. For a “650gr sea bass” (EUR 81.00 per kilo) you end up paying EUR 52.65 …

… which gives you two portions of the fish. And it was not only nice, but it was also quite delicious …

… and if you go for a selection of side dishes like the “roasted potatoes, garlic chips and coriander salt” (EUR 7.00), the “baked carrots, sour cream, cumin and pine nuts” (EUR 7.00) and the “tomato salad, red onions, oregano, vinegar” (EUR 7.00), then you have a nice and tasty meal. The sides really are delicious and absolutely enjoyable. And they go well with the fish – so, yes, the O Pescador knows how to prepare a tasty fish.

This is also reinforced by the fact that you see the freshly caught fish outside before you enter (except salmon and tuna) …

… which is prepared on a proper grill right in front of you (if you wanted to watch), which is somehow always a good sign.

All in all, the O Pescador is a great place for fish – they offer a nice selection of different fish in a decent setting, with super friendly and caring staff. So, if you are into fish, I can definitely recommend you to try the O Pescador.
