But all together if you are craving for a little :) mexican food GO THERE it is good !

Brasa da belavista (sassoeiras)
name: A Brasa da belavista
type place: local portuguese restaurant and grill
location: rua Gonçalo Velho Cabral 90, Sassoeiras, 2775-709 Carcavelos
tel: 214564305
idea: less than 20
info: Good local restaurant. Closed on wednesdays
The restaurant is a big succes, sometimes you have to stand in line to get in. Reservation for bigger groups is a must. The restaurant started as a chicken grill i was told but is now famous for all his grilled dishes. There is a vast variety of dishes but sometimes they are out of my favourites. The whole restaurant has recently been refurbished and it looks a lot better than before. They also serve for take-away and this service seems pretty succesfull too. Try the grilled t-bone (costeleta de novilho) or the espetada saloia (large beef skewer enough for 2) or the ribs (entrecosta) also the fish is very fresh looks very good. Fish by the kilo can give you a pricier bill but if you like grilled fish go for it.

Great location bad food small drinks. Go here when all places are full and you are desperate. The service is ok the quality of the food is very poor... ordered a filet steak with green pepper sauce received one with mustard sauce... send it back received same steak same sauce with peppercorns on top... for 15 euros this is stealing certainly when there is other places so close where you can have a better meal. And the fries were cold... the salad was a big plate with green letuce and 2 slices of tomato no seasoning. Ok it was busy but anyway this is very bad... my friends had calamares (small portion of mediocre quality) and the duck rice (arroz de pato) dry but ok-ish
mmm: no star... worst in distrito de lisboa so far !!!
