Cais do Sodré · Lisboa
A riverfront seafood table where the day's catch from Setúbal meets fire, citrus and Portuguese wine. Raw bar by day, candlelight by night.
Our story
Maresia — the Portuguese word for the scent of the sea — is the table of Chef Mariana Tavares, raised among the fishing boats of Setúbal. Each morning we choose what the Atlantic offers, never the other way around. Nothing travels far; everything tastes of where it came from.

The chef
After a decade across kitchens in San Sebastián and the Algarve, Mariana came home to Lisbon to cook the food she grew up with — simpler, sharper, closer to the source. Her cooking earned Maresia its first star in 2021, but she'll tell you the real prize is the fisherman who saves her the best box.
