Frequently asked questions

Can we customize the menu or are we limited to the restaurant's standard offerings?

As an operating restaurant, Moinho da Praia works with existing kitchen capabilities and supplier relationships. Contact them directly via their website to discuss customization options and any dietary restrictions.

Is the venue available year-round for events?

Availability depends on the restaurant's operating calendar and existing reservations. Check moinhodapraia.pt or call ahead to confirm dates, especially during high summer season.

Are there on-site accommodation options for guests?

The venue itself is a restaurant; lodging is not provided. Samouco is near Setúbal (15km), which has hotels and guesthouses. Local tourism resources can help identify nearby options.

Can we bring our own alcohol or use an external caterer?

As a licensed restaurant, external catering and outside alcohol policies typically align with Portuguese hospitality regulations. Confirm restrictions directly with management before booking.

What happens if weather is poor on the event date?

Indoor space exists within the restaurant structure, but ask the venue about weather contingency plans and whether the waterfront ceremony area has covered alternatives.
