Bustling Portuguese seafood spot with fresh grills and fry-ups at fair prices; excellent when on form, but service can be chaotic and waits long at peak times.
Lagoa Azul delivers solid food quality with fresh, traditionally prepared Portuguese seafood at fair prices, earning strong local loyalty. However, quality varies noticeably between visits, and isolated food safety reports alongside peak-time service chaos prevent a higher grade. The riverfront setting and generous portions appeal to neighborhood regulars seeking authentic, unpretentious seafood rather than polished dining.
One caveat: Waits can exceed an hour at peak; arrive early
