A la carte

The offering of restaurants in Foz is very broad, and what we highlight here are just a few. If you’re indecisive and don’t know if you’d rather have meat or fish, at La Quinta Asador they offer as much of one as they do the other. We especially recommend the seafood and arroces, although all of their dishes will be good.

There is also a large variety of dishes at the restaurant Racimo, with upscale décor, where they offer hake, suckling pig, and many other delicacies. They also have fresh, in-season products.

We finish with the restaurant O Lar, where tasting some of their arroces is a true pleasure, although it’s better to go early or else it may take them a while to serve you.
