Vitória Mar
The house
Right across from the beach at Vila Praia de Âncora.
Portuguese cooking by the sea
Vitória Mar sits right across from the beach at Vila Praia de Âncora. We serve fish from the harbour auction, shellfish from our own tank, salt cod and Barrosã beef, in a glass-walled room looking out to the sea and the hills.
The room
A glass-walled room over the beach
Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the sea is right in front of you. In the evening we light the lamps and, in winter, the stove. On clear days you can watch the sun set over the sea.
The catch and the tank
Our fish comes from the local harbour
Our fish comes from the Vila Praia de Âncora harbour auction and is laid out on ice in the dining room. In our tank we keep live lobster and crab.
The kitchen
Traditional Portuguese cooking
Salt cod with cornbread crumbs, seafood rice, octopus à lagareiro, Barrosã veal steak. Many dishes are served in the pot or on a platter, for two.
