The place
A Poita is the kind of no-frills, family-run spot locals recommend over anything with a view: a covered terrace, a case of the day's fish on ice, and grilled scabbard or fresh tuna at village prices. It's an easy stop after the beach or the Anjos waterfall a few minutes up the coast road.
When to come
Lunch, when the fish counter is freshest.
Worth knowing
- Cash-friendly, simple decor, expect a wait at peak lunch
- Order whatever's on the ice that day
- On Vereda dos Lombos, just off the coast road in Madalena do Mar
