The Menu · Praia da Aguda

Restaurante Zizi Menu

Portuguese cuisine with the taste of home – fresh fish from the local market, seafood from the coast and dishes that remind us what it means to eat well.

At Zizi there’s a core menu that stays the same, with seafood, sharing plates and house specialities, and a daily menu that changes according to what the market brings: the catch of the day, the meat suggestion and seasonal vegetables. Discover what’s best today at our restaurant.
