This restaurant, with more than half a century of history yet updated in a contemporary urban style, stands opposite the canal from which the popular Moliceiros depart — the small boats that take tourists around the ria (indeed, the venue’s name evokes another traditional vessel, slightly larger, once used to transport fish and salt). What is found here? The menu features contemporary dishes rooted in local tradition, accompanied by excellent house-made bread and various rice dishes (we particularly enjoyed Arroz de algas de Aveiro e bacalhau (Aveiro seaweed and salt-cod rice)).

This sophisticated restaurant is housed in an eighteenth-century palace, which now hosts the MS Collection Aveiro – Palacete Valdemouro, an historic building where the writer and diplomat Eça de Queiroz lived, and on which all its décor is inspired.

Situated between the Aveiro estuary and the Atlantic, on the first floor of a contemporary glass-fronted building offering splendid views, particularly from the terrace. The bar features an enticing display cabinet, while the two dining rooms are bright and functional-contemporary in feel.
