Costa Fria is the more cosmopolitan side of Ericeira: a modern restaurant right on the seafront, on the cliff road above the fishermen's beach, with a terrace looking straight out over the Atlantic.
The menu is made for sharing: creative small plates built around what comes out of the sea next door, with Mediterranean touches and a proper wine list. Order a few things for the table and take your time.
It is a good pick when you want something a step up from the classic grilled fish places without leaving the old town. Come for a long lunch in the sun or time dinner with the sunset.
Open every day from 12:30 to 23:00. They take reservations and it fills up, so book ahead in summer and on weekends. Phone: +351 926 367 969.
