Sardinha, Seafood restaurant in Peniche, Portugal.
Sardinha is a seafood restaurant in Peniche, a fishing town on the Atlantic coast of Portugal. It has an indoor dining room and an outdoor terrace facing the sea.
Peniche has been one of Portugal's main fishing ports for centuries, and the restaurant continues that local tradition. The name itself refers to the sardine, the fish most tied to the history of this coastline.
The restaurant embodies Portuguese coastal food traditions through the way fish is prepared and cooked using regional methods passed down over time. Visitors can taste and observe how these traditional techniques remain central to the daily work in the kitchen.
The restaurant sits close to the center of Peniche and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of town. Booking ahead is a good idea, particularly in summer or when visiting with a group.
The kitchen sources its fish directly from boats docking at Peniche's harbor, often within hours of the catch. This means the menu can change day to day depending on what actually came in that morning.
