Tasca da Avenida

Setúbal


A standout among Avenida Luísa Todi's long line of carbon copy seafood restaurants more for its size and intimacy than anything, but the food here is a step above as well. The best dishes serve two (seafood pasta stews, cuttlefish feijoada, seafood rice etc; €24 to €30).
