Why go, and how to fit it in
Grilled seafood is the draw at Sempre Assar I, a Portuguese fish restaurant with sushi options. Sardines and grilled fish are what visitors talk about most, followed by cod, grilled sardines, and monkfish; outdoor seating, a seafood platter, and smashed potatoes also come up. Prices run €20 to €50 per person. Groups, couples, and anyone who wants a seafood-focused lunch or dinner will find plenty to order, while the sushi gives another option.
Come Tuesday to Sunday for lunch from 12 to 3:30 or dinner from 7 to 10:30; the restaurant is closed on Mondays. On a typical Saturday, 21:00 is the busiest hour and 15:00 is the quietest open hour, so a late lunch is calmer.
