If you are thinking of a surf holiday in Portugal then Ericeira should be high on your list. As well as having some of the best surf in Europe, Ericeira has a great choice of restaurants.

All are locally owned and there are no global or fastfood chains to distract you. The best dishes are of course Fish. Gambas (shrimp) is the town specialty but there is so much choice.

All the restaurants are small so we recommend ringing ahead to book rather than chancing it, especially on weekends and in peak season. 

The restaurants in Ericeira are all child and baby friendly. Most are open for lunch and dinner. Dinner will start around 6pm, the busiest time being around 8pm. Here's a list of our choice of the best restaurants in Ericeira.
