Where to Eat in Maresias: A Quick Guide to Coastal Dining

Food is a big part of any visit to Maresias, with options ranging from casual to more refined, almost always with the ocean as the backdrop.

Beach kiosks

If you don't want to leave the sand, the kiosks along the beachfront usually serve snacks, sharing platters and ice-cold drinks. It's the easiest lunch option between swims.

Seafood and caiçara cooking

The region's caiçara (traditional coastal) heritage shows up in fish and seafood dishes, often made with recipes passed down through generations of local families.

Something for every taste

Maresias also has restaurants with a wide range of styles, from Italian and contemporary cuisine to more casual options like burgers and pizza, reflecting the diverse crowd the beach attracts.

Breakfast at the inn

One way to simplify your meals is to start the day well fed: at Villa Blu, the continental breakfast includes breads, cold cuts, fruit and cakes before you head out to explore the beach's lunch and dinner options.
