About Mar das Latas Wine & Food
Mar das Latas is a restaurant and wine bar facing the sea in Ericeira's centre, built around premium tinned conserves and seasonal small plates. The setup works like this: you book a table, arrive for one of two seatings (roughly 2 hours each), and the kitchen sends out a sequence of shared dishes timed to land perfectly. The wine list is extensive with organic options, and a sommelier's on hand to steer you right. Reviewers who've returned for 6 years in a row call it one of the best spots in Ericeira. The atmosphere is cosy but unpretentious—dim lighting, cool interior, and the kind of buzzy energy where you know you're somewhere special. Dishes mentioned across reviews include shrimp gyoza, Caesar cabbage, parmigiana tortellini, and a local cheese platter with house bread. The sunset from your table is part of the experience, not an afterthought.
What Stands Out
Small plates, perfect timing
Reviewers consistently praised the shared plates arriving 'perfectly timed' and 'pleasing everyone'. One noted: 'lots of share plates, which is fun with a group (we were 5). Everyone loved everything!' The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with the rhythm of service.
Wine list and sommelier knowledge
Multiple reviews mention 'excellent wine list', 'great wine selection (organic options)', and 'exceptional' drinks. One reviewer noted the sommelier actively helps you choose, and another praised the 'impressive garrafeira' (wine cellar).
Sunset location with interior design
Reviewers describe 'the views as the sun goes down', 'Localizado frente ao mar' (located facing the sea), and 'the cool interior decor, dim lighting'. One called it a 'magical experience, combining top gastronomy with the best natural scenery of the Vicentine coast'.
