Whimsical ambiance, friendly service, and good food! Sem Horas is a winner!
We’ve been meaning to try this spot since we came to Setúbal a week ago, and we finally stopped by for dinner tonight. The atmosphere is incredibly magical and delightful. I loved the tapestry canopy, mismatched glasses, low lighting, and table decorations. The ambiance is the best part of the experience in my opinion. The service was attentive and efficient too.
The food was solid and beautifully presented. I especially loved the chocolate pie and veggie board! The garlic shrimp and ceviche were tasty, but they tasted a little fishy to me, which makes me think the fish wasn’t the absolute freshest. Maybe I’m wrong?
Overall, a wonderful experience! I’m very happy we dined here while in Setúbal.

We ended up in this town by chance basically, and one of the restaurants that popped up straight away when walking around was Sem Horas. We sat inside at the window, all the waiters + the owner were so nice and welcoming, hence we knew we were in the right place. Great atmosphere, amazing decor well thought in detail, stunning cutlery, amazing service and most of all great food! We had a delicious dinner and it definitely contributed to a beautiful day around Portugal! I would definitely recommend this place!

so good we went there twice. the food was good. and the service even better. It’s tapas style so everything is meant to share - but not in a US-trying-to-be-spain tapas style where dishes are tiny. 3+ a starter is perfect for two people. And the wine is local and wonderful selection for all palate.

We spent 4 days in Setubal and went to Sem Horas for lunch one day. The atmosphere and the looks of the place from outside is very inviting.
The staff were friendly and patiently explained the specials of the day. They brought a tray with bread, a small bowl of olives, two types of cheese, and a small bowl of olive oil. We chose the bread, olive, and olive oil (€6.80). We subsequently asked for more olive oil and was charged €3.
We ordered two of the special veal sandwiches with bbq sauce (€9.50@) and a small salad (€2.50). The sandwiches came with French fries. Everything tasted great and we were happy with our meal. The only thing that was unusual, they asked if we wanted water, and we said yes. They brought a small jar of tap water and charged us €2.50 fit it?!?

Such a lovely spot! Especially festive this time of year (December). We haven't eaten the food here, but have had cocktails and wine. They have a very nice sparkling white wine and the Old Fashioned they made for my husband (which wasn't on the menu) was spot on! They always bring our little dog a bowl of water too, which goes a long way for us.
