Gula Do Meko - Rua Praia do Moinho de Baixo

Fantastic view over the beach and ocean. Informal ambiance, good, fresh food. Outside seating for smokers. Loads of parking space. Best avoided on summer weekends.

Nice place, quick and kind service. Great vegetarian dish in a restaurant that works mainly with fish. Nice view over the beach.

Very nice food, service and view.

Ok service (bit slow but efficient), very nice people, excellent food (good selection of seafood and fresh fish is on par with anything and anywhere else out there). The view is simply amazing and stunning any time of the year. The summer sunset however is something else... Great place to have an early dinner with friends with lots of fishes to share (do try the octopus popcorn ;) ).

Tricky to find as the lift was broken but climb up 4 flights worth it. Great view of the 25th April bridge. Excellent food with some evidence of real creativity. Well done!

Amazing fish, very attentive service, beautiful view. Don't miss it. Sensational: the freshness of the fish, the clams, the homemade fried potatoes and the total killer was the apple crumble desert. We'll certainly be back.

Lovely and tasty meals we had. Very good wine options. Service was good. You need to book in advance. In terms of price, you do need to pay the quality and in this case the location and view. Prices are higher than usual but there is tendency in all restaurants this year.

Check Google for pics of lapas from this restaurant, and then look at ours. We went for lunch at Gula do Meko a week ago, for the first time. The food was yummy, and the service was pleasant. The 2nd time was NOT the charm. After seeing their lapas on Google, we were expecting light colored shellfish, that were just smaller than its shell. We made the 2nd trip specifically to try their lapas. What we received were greenish and brown overcooked lapas, with a few light colored ones. My husband surmised they were probably cooked from above and not below, as the part below was okay, but the top was rubbery, on all of them. We ate a few, but could not finish our plate. Ours had shrunk, because they were so overcooked, and as you can see, the garlic butter that was meant to be in every shell, had disappeared in some. While there, a table next to our also ordered lapas, and theirs were the light colored seafood we'd seen in pictures, and they were bigger. My husband intentionally got up twice, just to make sure we were seeing the better cooked, and larger lapas, we thought we were seeing. We called for the manager and the excuses began. Listen, people make mistakes, it's part of life, but to stand there and not acknowledge there was a problem was the worst part. He chose to ignore my husband saying they were overcooked, to assure us we, and the table next to us, got the same lapas. We never questioned if they were from the same batch, simply that they were overcooked. We had plans to continue to patronize this restaurant, but never again. Again, things happen, but it's how you handle issues, with your business, that makes the difference. Anyone could see they were overcooked, but he was so worried about being right, he lost customers. I encourage anyone thinking about this restaurant to check pictures, before you go, to have a reference. He never took the lapas off the bill, and as you can see from our pictures, this is NOT appetizing and frankly is not seafood that is cooked well. In fact, they shouldn't have been served, between the discoloration and lack of sauce in the shells. I absolutely would never recommend this place, not because you won't enjoy some food, but because if you have an issue, they will cling to their pride, instead of correcting the mistake. There are lots of seafood places in Setubal, we'll definitely give another more appreciative one our money next time.
