MDuring the Estoril Open Marat Safin, Goran Ivanisevic and Irakli Labadze had dinner at the best restaurant in Cascais, the award-winning "Beira Mar" on Monday evening.

After receiving a special invitation by Estoril Open tournament director Joao Lagos and Jorge Felner da Costa, director of Estoril Tourist Board, the players toasted with a glass of champagne before having some traditional Portuguese seafood and fish.

The restaurant, which contains an outdoor terrace that spills onto a traffic-free plaza in the center of Cascais, was established in the 1950s with its present management in place since 1973.

Its most popular menu items include a savory sopa de marisco (shellfish soup), filet of whitefish with shellfish rice, baked sea bass in a salt crust, or whitefish crowned with a banana.
