The Ericeira Summer Edit
June 5 - 11
Less polished than Comporta, less sleepy than Melides, Ericeira remains one of the few coastal escapes that still feels genuinely alive year-round. Think surf mornings, seafood lunches, natural wine and Atlantic sunsets all less than an hour from Lisbon.
THE EAT LIST
Morning Spots
Where to start the day before the beaches fill up.
Go early for the focaccia and whatever just came out of the oven
Best for slow breakfasts and one more coffee after the beach.
Lunches & Dinner
Fresh seafood, salty air and afternoons that stretch a little longer than planned.
Balagan
Perched above Praia do Sul inside Ericeira’s iconic Edifício Virtual, Balagan feels somewhere between a Mediterranean beach house and the kind of place you accidentally spend your entire afternoon in. Come for the mezze, grilled fish, and dangerously good cocktails, stay for the salt in the air, the oceanfront terrace, and the beautifully chaotic energy that gave Balagan its name.
Summer Escape Perk: complimentary welcome drink during the campaign dates.
Insider Tip: Start with the hummus and a glass of natural wine, then stay for sunset on the terrace overlooking Praia do Sul. That’s the Balagan experience!
COSTA FRIA
COSTA FRIA is a modern coastal restaurant in Ericeira, blending Portuguese and Mediterranean influences with creative sharing plates, fresh seafood, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Known for its stunning ocean views, attentive hospitality, and beautifully presented dishes, Costa Fria offers a memorable dining experience inspired by the sea, local flavors, and Ericeira’s vibrant spirit.
Summer Escape Perk: complimentary welcome drink (Merry Cream) during the campaign dates.
Insider Tip: Skip the rush, book a late lunch and let it drift into the afternoon
ONDA
At ONDA, the soul of the coast comes to your table - bold Portuguese flavours, the freshest local seafood, and seasonal produce from the fields around Ericeira. From casual and vibrant by day to relaxed, elevated dining by night, all with sweeping views of the Atlantic.
Summer Escape Perk: Welcome drink
Insider Tip: Start with a cocktail on the terrace before moving to dinner. The ocean views are reason enough to arrive early.
