Escama

After visiting a French restaurant with a similar outlook, inspiration struck to open this restaurant serving the best fish and seafood in a relaxed ambience. The focus at Escama is one that showcases the best maritime ingredients, which he always sources fresh from local fishermen. For your main, you can choose how you want to have your fish prepared (grilled, baked or poached), such as the sea bass, which is accompanied by a delicious champagne sauce and roasted onions. The menu also features options such as squid, shrimp, scallops and oysters, plus a splendid seafood feijoada on Fridays. The restaurant is located close to the city’s botanical garden, in a charming two-floor property with an extremely relaxed ambience enhanced by a decor of muted colours.
