Second good dinner in Peniche at Marginal https://www.instagram.com/marginalrestaurante_peniche/?hl=en directly at the coast with a nice view in the sunset and towards Berlenga Islands. Perhaps the only small complaint would be that for the first time the service was quite rushed (normally not an issue in Portugal)
The chickpea/mushroom curry seems a bit incongruous with the other ordered dishes but delicious nonetheless. I would make a bee-line to it. Or the amberjack. Or the mushrooms. Or the bonito.
We really love the cooking here in Portugal but we also talked about that it is quite protein forward often (surprisingly few salads and vegetable heavy dishes on any menu) and so our daughter wanted the curry to have a dinner without any meat (the also had a squid curry on the menu - not sure if these are some influences from the Portuguese colonies in India (Goa etc) as some of the restaurants had curries on their menu)
Wow, that’s the kind of meal I dream of. Thanks for sharing. When I travel, I am always on the lookout for dishes I would never see back home. The visuals are awesome.
I have not been to Portugal, yet, but I have long thought I would include Peniche on my itinerary. Although I never see it on trip reports.
