About
O café Maratona, estabelecimento fundado em 1966, mais de quatro décadas de histórias e experiência. Com o novo projecto idealizado em 2008, pretende-se recriar o ambiente vivo e informal do tradicional café, não só como espaço social, mas também enquanto espaço de reflexão, mas agora num espaço actual e confortável, com um toque de glamour e sofisticação, virado para um público cada vez mais urbano e cosmopolita. Mais do que um café, pretende-se um espaço que responda às necessidades de um público cada vez mais exigente e conhecedor. Na porta ao lado funciona o restaurante, onde modernidade e tradição em ambiente informal chique com uma cozinha criativa de caracter urbano que acompanha e gera tendências. O design, a estética e a preocupação com o detalhe para nós não são um pormenor, afinal de contas os olhos também comem e toda a experiência que se pretende oferecer é o somatório de todas estas valências, inuma relação qualidade preço imbatíveis.

This restaurant was recommended to us by Belgian friends. The food was super, service excellent and friendly. We will certainly go back her. Open for lunch only on Saturdays, rest of the week evenings only. Reservation recommended because at least 14 people if not more were refused because restaurant was full. Photo is of the desert. Interesting and very good 😁

A great place to have a drink. They have an outside spot as well now so even in winter it's not too shabby. Prices could be worse compared to other places.

Three of us were looking for dinner in Caldas da Rainha and we decided to visit Maratona café across from the church on Praca 25 de Abril. It was a great choice and the presentation nicely done and food very tasty

We've had some really good quality meals here, very attentive staff, superb outside area and very centrally situated with a view across the town square. This is a place we have never been disappointed, and keep returning to. The restaurant are to be congratulated at the excellent outside dining area, well protected from the weather, clean and atmospheric.

Just in the centre of Caldas da Rainha there is a good restaurant named Maratona. We went there several times and the food has a nice quality. The tuna fish is very recommended. The prices are very well. To go there is a very well experience

We had a late lunch and this was a great choice for a ‘simple’ menu. (The restaurant is closed for lunch) The tostada con polvo was excellent, as was the tostada with the four cheeses. They are very sympathetic people! Would recommend to go there.

We managed to book a table at Maratona on our last night in Caldas da Rainha and it was a great end to our short stay in Portugal! The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The food and wine were absolutely gorgeous! My husband and daughter had a steak each (cooked to perfection and served in a lovely, rich gravy), whilst I had the super sea bass! The desserts were rather unique and quite yummy! For example, my husband’s ice cream with ganache etc, was served in a stone! All in all, eating at this very popular, modern restaurant was a wonderful experience. We would definitely eat there again, but would make sure we book further in advance.

Came for a dinner with friends food was beautiful! Best risotto ever tasted. Good choice of vegetarian food which is lovely to see. Great recommendation of wine to suit our food. Our server Joao gave an amazing friendly and professional service was a pleasure to visit.

Great place to eat at any time of the day. The food is fresh and delicious. Prices are very reasonable. Meals can be eaten inside or out on their very nice covered patio. Located in the center of Caldas da Rainha. Free Wifi. Closed Sundays.

This restaurant was a favourite with our teenage family. Although we arrived on spec at the opening time, had not made a booking and the restaurant was fully booked (on a Wednesday) the staff were able to find space for us. The steak was very popular with the children and it was some of the best beef that we have tried while in Portugal. Other dishes we tried were risotto and fried octopus which were equally tasty. A starter known as Rude Boy which included Smoked Sample was well presented (photo). A strong recommendation is given for this restaurant. Parking is available near to the restaurant.

We are just back from a holiday in Praia del Rey. We had ‘discovered ‘ Maratona while there last year and were really happy to find that it was as good as we had thought last year. The menu is modern and innovative at a reasonable price. The juices are lovely. We always went at a busy time but taking that into consideration the service was good and friendly too. I don’t get the location of the restaurant as all I could see was the cafe and outside terrace but I’m sure that’s just down to me. We probably wouldn’t drive over often at night anyway with great choices in Ferrel near PDR. It’s a great spot though and I will be highly recommending Maratona to family that visit a lot. If you want modern but still authentically Portuguese then Maratona is perfect. The only negative aspect is the smoking on the terrace and that’s outside the control of the management. Go!
