Mar do Inferno Restaurant
Located in Cascais, by Boca do Inferno, the Mar do Inferno Restaurante is a family establishment run by Maria de Lourdes Tirano and her two sons for the last 48 years while also counting on a team of around 50 members of staff.
Located right by the sea, with a magnificent terrace in a very privileged location, this reflects in the freshest of fish and the great range of shellfish being among the most popular specialities and serving a menu based on grilled dishes:

Cascais and Boca do Inferno
The Boca do Inferno/ Hell’s Mouth is located on the western coastline of the town of. The "Hell’s Mouth" name attributed to the site stems from morphological analogy and the tremendous and terrifying shock caused by the waves here. One characteristic of the rocks making up these cliffs is their carbonated content. The erosion caused by the rainwaters that, containing dissolved carbon dioxide, cause the break-up of the carbonate. Through this process, cavities and caves from inside the limestone rocks.
It is highly likely that this site was once a cave. When the upper layers collapsed, the cave would have been destroyed to leave an enormous open-air cavity. With unique characteristics, this point of attraction is a particularly fine option to enjoy the divine landscapes set against the backdrop of a magnificent sunset. Currently, whenever the ocean is rough, the waves strike violently and relentlessly, throwing white foam over everything within dozens of metres and continuing to wear away the millennia old rocks, thereby still further raising the size and spectacular nature of the Boca do Inferno.
Discovering Cascais is like living in and through many different periods of time. A magic place for Portuguese society, the town stores evidence of its varied epochs of human settlement and its close relationship with both the Atlantic and its proximity to the Portuguese capital. The palaces set on the coast, the stories of spies and conspirators, the coastal warning and defence systems, the streets and the citadel form a unique mosaic along the Lisbon coastline. This is the site where we find the most important geological example of karst erosion, the Boca do Inferno, where the sea and land engage in a constant and endless duel and attributing this location with some of the mystique of being Portuguese and the legacy of the voyages of maritime exploration.
