Quick Verdict
Locals go back because the food's genuinely fresh, the staff remember you, and it doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's reliable without being boring.
You want a quiet dinner with someone (or yourself) where the fish is fresh, the service speaks English fluently, and the dessert actually matters.
About Restaurante Medit
Medit is a casual Mediterranean restaurant in Boavista that does sushi, pasta, and seafood with equal confidence. Walk in and you'll find a cosy, quiet space that feels more neighbourhood spot than destination—the kind of place groups book for dinner or couples choose for a peaceful night out. The menu shifts between Mediterranean and Asian, which shouldn't work but does: reviewers rave about the squid and shrimp pasta in the same breath as the sushi. Service is the thing that keeps people coming back. Staff speak excellent English, they're attentive without hovering, and they remember your order. The fondant caramel dessert lands hard enough that people mention it unprompted. Lunch is quick and efficient (12:30–15:00 weekdays). Dinner (20:00–23:45 Saturday, closed Sunday) is where the place breathes—quieter, more intentional, the kind of meal you don't rush. Fair prices for what lands on the plate. Fresh fish, proper technique, no shortcuts. The only friction: they allow smoking inside, which some find annoying.
What Stands Out
Sushi that tastes fresh, not tired
Multiple reviewers specifically praised the sushi quality: 'always fresh, tasty pieces' and 'the fish quite fresh.' One regular called it their 'sushi restaurant of choice.' Even the critical review acknowledged 'the taste was good.' They do takeaway too, which means the fish travels well.
Staff who actually listen and speak English
Reviewers noted 'exceptionally friendly staff,' 'excellent English,' and 'attentive service.' One mentioned the team 'only messed up the order once and it wasn't serious.' Service is described as friendly whether you call or visit in person.
Desserts worth ordering
The fondant caramel dessert got 5-star mentions in multiple reviews. One reviewer specifically called it out as a reason to return. It's rare for dessert to be the standout, but here it is.
