8.5/10Celebrating anniversary at this place. The food was very very good, the service acceptable but the atmosphere was very lacking for a popular holiday destination. I think the location, being at the back of the town, is an issue. Shame because the food is excellent.

10/10A small intimate restaurant with tasty , very enjoyable food that is a little different . Excellent ,welcoming staff who are attentive and sooo pleasant ?. Super cocktails and good quality wines as well . Even on a quiet Monday evening the restaurant was doing steady trade and is obviously well supported. Do make the effort to find this slightly off the beaten track gem

5/10Unfortunately the service was slow and not the usual friendliness we became used to in in Portugal

9.5/10The food here was amazing! Traditional Portuguese dishes and flavors mixed with Asian flavor combinations. We particularly loved the ossobuco bao buns and arequipeña soup.

9/10Excellent food, had the Peruvian soup which was fantastic and then the beef which was cooked to perfection with a sweet spicy sauce and tasty vegetable noodle mix. Great attentive service. Unfortunate location with no view but inside is very nice, with good music and lighting. However Toilets badly need to be refurbished, but that would not stop us from highly recommending this great restaurant.

6.5/10Restaurant was quiet on the night we went. Tuna and mango combined was great. Service a little haphazard. Can recommend the mojitos. Good value dining.

10/10An incredible restaurant tucked away but an absolute must visit. The food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and attentive and the margaritas were perfection. Thank you so much for incredible hospitality and a delicious meal!

5/10Overpriced, we booked a table for 2, paid 90€, ate 2 entries, 2 main dishes and 2 drinks. Overall food is ok nothing extraordinary, the jamon croquetas were really bad, very small, poorly fried, too greasy, just uau... Service was more in line with a 20 euros a meal. In conclusion, it's not a restaurant that we will try again. I hope this helps.

Hey Bernardo, thank you for your comment. We respect what you wrote and will obviously work to improve but we also feel it’s unfair that you didn’t mention any of this when our staff checked on you to see if everything was ok… all we got was positive feedback. Next time please tell us if there’s anything we can do to make sure you guys are enjoying the experience. Also, the price of the meal depends solely on the customer. You ordered 4 dishes and 4 drinks (and not 2 drinks like you mentioned) for 2 people, making it above average. We really hope you give us another chance :) best, El C

3/10The food is low quality for such high prices. The waiters are there. Arrogance and rudenesses is common behaviour there. Not only our table but the table next to us complain about the same. I do not recommend going there. The atmosphere was but which ruined the all night.

Hi Gonçalo, I am truly proud of my team and I also believe we have one of the friendliest/nicest staff in Cascais. Maybe you didn’t give us the chance to prove that. Regarding our prices/food quality: as I recall you had 1 bao (that’s one item out of 20 we have) which, in my opinion, makes it difficult for you to judge such a topic. I hope one day you can revisit El clandestino with a different mindset :) thank you! Duarte (manager)

10/10+2Top ! Just a small detail for wine enthusiasts, the list needs improvement in better choices to correct balance the out of the box dishes. ????

Thank you for your suggestion Baltasar, we will look into that! See you soon, El C
