Ericeira is best known for its surf culture and dramatic coastline, but it has also become one of our favourite places in Portugal to slow down. We keep coming back for the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches and great food. From specialty coffee and wine to dinner, these are the places we’ve personally visited and genuinely recommend.
Best Places to Eat & Drink in Ericeira
The Capsule
Without a doubt our favourite breakfast and lunch spot in Ericeira. The Capsule serves creative seasonal dishes, excellent specialty coffee and some of the best brunch in town. Everything feels carefully thought out and the quality is remarkable. They roast coffee beans in-house and are well known for their incredibly generous milk bread – a must-order if you ask us.
Balagan
Dinner with a sunset view doesn’t get much better than this. Balagan combines Middle Eastern flavours with one of the most beautiful terraces in Ericeira, overlooking the Atlantic. Don’t miss the hummus, burnt aubergine and freshly baked pitas, and make sure to book ahead – especially if you want one of the outdoor tables.
Green is Good
Looking for a healthy breakfast or lunch? Green is Good is one of our favourite casual spots in Ericeira. Expect colourful bowls, fresh juices, great coffee and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, all just a short walk from Praia dos Pescadores.
Mar das Latas
One of our favourite places to end the day. Mar das Latas is a cosy wine bar overlooking the Atlantic, serving a carefully selected list of Portuguese wines alongside delicious petiscos and sharing plates. Arrive before sunset if you can and enjoy one of the best views in Ericeira.
