Hífen serves up Instagram-worthy interiors, along with artfully presented food and craft cocktails. Taking inspiration from its positioning right next to Cascais Bay, a slick beach theme runs throughout the place, with bright blue chairs and light wood furnishings. On the food front, the dishes are designed for sharing – with some of the most popular picks being the squid curry arancini, the tempura asparagus with guacamole and the garlic prawns.

There are three, with small tables for two and rounded ceilings that make them even more picturesque. The view of Cascais Bay, the outline of the coast to infinity (and beyond) and a menu designed with dishes to be shared help make this the perfect meal for two. And don’t forget to order one of the house cocktails, either as an aperitif or as a digestif, as you watch the sea and whisper cheesy things to each other.

Enjoy colorful salads, seafood, and other light meals with a view over Cascais bay at this laidback bar-restaurant in the center of town. Communal seating, sharing plates, and a lively musical backdrop make for a sociable atmosphere, and the sea breezes blowing through the open windows keep things fresh on hot days. You can book a table on the terrace if you don't fancy group dining.

Hífen has quickly become one of Cascais’s must‑visit dining spots, blending the casual ambience of a gastropub with the sophistication of a modern eatery. The restaurant is distinctly split into two zones: a chic lower level designed as a lively bar area with high tables, upbeat music and a creative cocktail menu and an intimate upstairs dining room that offers panoramic views of Cascais Bay. The interior design cleverly balances industrial-chic – exposed brick and modern lighting – with coastal influences such as natural wood accents and soft, neutral tones.

If you don’t mind a slightly pricey place for good food/service, there is Hifen for good Portuguese tapas with a view, Mar do Inferno for excellent seafood with a view (but slightly outside the town), Visconde da Luz for good Portuguese food of all kinds (right in town), and lots of others like that – generally in the 100+ per couple (with wine) range. Remember you don’t need to add 30% for tax and tip here – 5-10% is plenty. There are also some decent places on the waterfront towards Estoril, but with touristy prices (but what a view with your meal!).
