As a cosmopolitan town, Cascais offers a wide choice of dining options. If you venture down the backstreets you will find restaurants that appear to be someone's front room, and indeed you will be treated as house guests. Prices are incredibly cheap in these restaurants with fresh ingredients, but communication without a Portuguese phrasebook can be difficult! If you go into one of the numerous international restaurants in the resort centre, the prices are still reasonable. |

Cascais is lively at weekends and from the end of May to the beginning of October. There are plenty of late night bars and the most popular nightclub is Coconuts in the marina. The Casino in Estoril is a 30 minute walk or short cab journey. |
