About

Casa Solmar specializes in authentic Portuguese preparations characterized by flame-grilled seafood and an extensive selection of traditional tapas. Guests encounter a menu anchored by salt cod specialties, piri-piri seasoned proteins, and robust vegetable preparations meant for communal consumption. The culinary approach emphasizes simple, high-quality ingredients sourced to highlight the natural salinity of ocean-fresh catches. Plates arrive featuring charred textures and vibrant spice blends consistent with coastal Iberian traditions. The interior aesthetic reflects a functional maritime influence, creating a focused environment centered entirely on the distribution of shared platters. This establishment maintains a rigid commitment to regional cooking techniques, ensuring every order of calamari or grilled octopus adheres to recognized preparation standards. The configuration prioritizes efficiency, allowing diners to navigate a diverse array of small-format dishes without unnecessary elaboration or superfluous table service formalities.

In a new city, you randomly pick a restaurant on a very busy touristy street & hope to get a pleasant meal. The meal was good, but the service was dreadful. The scallops were in a very salty sauce. The bisque was mediocre. My fillet was nice with vegetables, & the lamb shank was decent. Most of the time, the staff just ignored us & were not very friendly.

Excellent service,Antony really took care of me throughout the whole dinner. He even heat up my food after I went to the bathroom. Not recommend the snails,but highly recommend the duck & figs. Clam is too salty. Bread so so not ready baked. Carbene is good.

We ordered the main meals only as we were starving, & it was pretty decent. We had the salmon & shrimp combo with a lemon infused rice & grilled vegetables & another had the seafood with rice. There was no seating for 4 outside, but their indoor dining room is very charming & cozy. They had one waiter serving the whole room, so it was a bit of a wait for these hungry customers but not overly long. We scoffed down the fresh bread, which would haveceven been better a little bit warm. Our food came fairly quick & the total bill wasn't too bad (we didn't order drinks or appetizers). We came here after the Aura show at Notre Dame Bascilica. Overall, a good restaurant.
