If the phrase ‘Locally sourced foods inspired by the vibrant streets of the Middle East’ sounds good to you, we recommend going to Balagan. Here you will find great falafel, humus, pita bread, baba ganoush and lots of other vegetarian/vegan Middle Eastern food options. There is a charming terrace to enjoy it all, and it’s right outside the center of Ericeira so easy to go there on foot from Olá Onda. Photo: Charred Sweet Potato by Pedro Mestre.

3. AVÓ RESTAURANTE

Avó means grandma in Portuguese, and all dishes are traditional Portuguese (like a grandma would make them), but with a modern twist. And let us tell you: they are wonderful. The menu changes all the time, because they only use seasonal and local ingredients. There are always 2 vegetarian options on the menu, both are usually great so you can’t go wrong. Ask the waiter or waitress which wine you should order with your meal, they are happy to help you with that. Traditionally the Portuguese kitchen revolves around meat and fish – but at Avó you can also have a great traditional Portuguese meal without either of these. R. dos Ferreiros nº6, Ericeira (Google Maps)

4. BARBATANA SURF&DELI
