We got lucky and came here relatively "early" (5pm) for dinner without a reservation and was seated immediately. Service was very nice, and happy to explain and help us choose what to get. We got: the giant prawn, garlic shrimp, oysters, 2 steak sandwiches (because they were so damn good), a plate of jamon; the buttered bread (this was kind of mandatory since they plopped it down at our table right as we sat down and wouldn't take it back); the "green" wine and beer. This place is known for the seafood, which was fantastic, but honestly I was really impressed by the extremely juicy and flavorful steak sandwich - really simple but packed with flavor! It was a lovely meal and good atmosphere, and the fact that we got in so easily was a bonus. Absolutely worth a try when in Lisbon! read more

One of the most incredible seafood experiences we have ever had. Our favorites were the scarlet prawn and the giant tiger prawns. They were absolute perfection. The edible crab dip was also incredible with bread, though one of our main critiques was that the plastic hammer was not the best tool for cracking the crab legs and resulted in a lot of waste of crab meat. Important to be aware of the wait beforehand-- we waited for over two hours for a table (arrived at 8pm and got a table around 10:30pm) -- there is a waiting area to get drinks and cocktails and snacks while waiting but plan your night around this. Once in, the service is very quick. read more

I've been told by many of my fellow travelers that this is one of the best seafood spots in the world, let alone Portugal. It's safe to say that statement was true as the crowds outside this place were huge - you can certainly expect to have a wait if you're coming around busy time, but they are very efficient and fast with service. There's also a waiting area where you can order a drink while you wait for your table. The food was incredible, here's the rundown: - Shrimp with garlic sauce: incredible, some of the best shrimp we've ever had in a perfect garlic oil sauce - Clams with garlic sauce: loved these meaty clams and they came in a delicious white wine garlic broth, which was perfect to dip the buttery bread in - Giant shrimp: almost like a lobster, these were amazing and the meat was tender and juicy, especially when dipped in the butter sauce on the side - Crab: wish I could remember exactly which crab we ordered, but this one had no legs or anything to crack and was just crab meat and offal mixed together - we didn't like this one at all, as there was no sauce inside it and we didn't particularly like the offal - Ice cream cake: delicious, sweet and chocolatey and a great way to end the meal The service was excellent as well, they knew exactly what we needed and were able to recommend dishes and beautiful wine. One thing worth noting is they don't serve sides, only the bread with butter which was excellent in its own right. Overall would say this was a highly memorable seafood experience and well worth the wait! read more

Seafood here is amazing! Price is also right. Waiters were all patient and helpful with our orders

busy place, definitely pays to plan ahead or come with a smaller group the ambiance is poor for a fancy place, loud, crowded, menu is from a QR code, etc that said the food is delightful and therefore it's a commonplace for celebration -- the other tables had birthdays and anniversary parties. I only had the shrimp -- Al Ajillo Especial and Carabineiros (unidade). Would recommend both of them! the former is classic tasty garlic shrimp and the latter is more experimental -- larger shrimp where the waiter cuts the shrimp over and dresses the body with some brain sauce (?). read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - We love Marco ! - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Even though we went to a Michelin restaurant in Lisbon, Ramiro was actually my favorite meal in Portugal. The reason is the service was so friendly. We had Alfonso (who he shared he was named after the first king of Portugal) and he was so helpful, kind, and recommended some dishes. He probably gets asked that a million times and the restaurant is always so busy, but his professionalism and charm really impressed me. We tried the shrimp, crab, clams, barnacles, tiger prawns. My favorite was the tiger prawn. I could have done without the edible crab which tasted more like a dip to me. Luckily we had a lot of bread to eat it with. I loved the clam sauce that I could have drank the sauce. I love the dishes stay hot. It's the type of restaurant you could have a wonderful seafood feast in and know that every dish is perfect. We had a lovely corner seat by the window on the second floor which added to the charm. Although busy, we came during a late lunch and was able to get seated to a table within minutes. read more

First, go during lunch when they open. We tried to go at dinner, around 6pm, and after waiting with the wrong ticket for an hour, decided to just try again another day. Having said that, if you are going for dinner, grab the right ticket. That was my bad but also the ticket machine doesn't really explain which is which. ALSO having said that, make a reservation if you want, when we were there, the next available was a month out so plan accordingly. Only those with no reservations need worry about the tickets. But be safe, go at lunch. When we went at lunch, we lined up outside the restaurant, then were told to line up at the bar for the waiting ticket holders. As we tried to get a drink, the staff was like why are you here, the restaurant is open. So then we went BACK. Kind of confusing so just be aware. Regardless, we were seated and staff was quick and food came out quickly. Now onto the food. We got the edible crab versus the spider crab because we were told it was easier to open and sweeter. We also got prawns and garlic shrimp. Bread comes out whether you order it or not. My husband got the mango tea and I did the house beer which I really liked as it was light and went well with the seafood. With me and my husband who doesn't care to touch his food with his hands, we were at a disadvantage because I couldn't try too many things. I wanted to, but knew he would only eat the garlic shrimp (delicious!) and bread and I would be on my own for the crab and prawns. The prawns are standard, and cold. It would have been preferable if they were hot. The edible crab was also cold, but I can't imagine how much better it would be if they brought it out steaming hot. Regardless, the flavor is out of this world - buttery and creamy and just amazing. Also for the price, you get SO MUCH MEAT. My husband helped with a few bites but I have paid 4 times more for the same single crab in NYC. I just wish there was SOMETHING to dip all that meat in, but that is my Maryland Old Bay loving self talking. Last but not least, we got the beef sandwich and it was simple and delicious. I added mustard to mine and it was YUMMY. Is this place overhype, a little, but is it worth trying? Definitely. read more

A few housekeeping notes before I start my review... If you are going to Lisbon in the future, go online and make a reservation NOW. If you're already in Lisbon, go early for dinner and use the kiosk on the left side of the building and enter the number of diners in your party and get your ticket. KEEP AN OPEN EAR as they call numbers out of sequence and you have to be ready to sit. Also, the restaurant has two areas, upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs is loud, insanely busy, crowded, and quite lively as that's where the kitchen is. If you do not want the noise, or to sit on top of strangers when you dine, I suggest you ask for a seat upstairs. There is NOT personal space in European restaurants like we experience in the states, so be prepared. The upstairs has multiple rooms in which to sit. You won't get a choice but you can be adamant about sitting at a 2-person table. It may take a little longer, but they DO have a few 2-person tables. Last but not least, you can order by the kg, so in other words, two of this and three of that, etc. It's helpful when you don't want a large portion of one thing, which leaves you unable to try something else. Now, the good stuff... The food is incredible! It's not cheap, and almost like Dim Sum where you can order a bunch of different things from the menu at one time. Every table gets a platter of buttered halved Portuguese rolls. This is great for dipping with dishes such as garlic clams and garlic shrimp, which both were fresh and garlic laden. We got the langoustines, which while sweet and indulgent, to me were not worth $101kg. What was worth the money, however, were the giant tiger prawns. They were literally a foot long each and prepared split and grilled with garlic butter. GET THEM! We also ordered the scarlet prawns, which are prepared by cutting in half, taking the "head goo" (yes, my term), and spreading it across the halved prawns. If this doesn't appeal, ask for them not to do it prior to table service. I wish I had known as it kind of ruined the taste for me. The "edible crab" as they call it, was similar in taste and texture to stone crab claws we get in the states. It's served cold with hammers and a board, so you can crack the shells yourself. VERY messy and loud but so much fun. It was very good and quite large. My husband's favorite was the percebes (per-se-besh) or Gooseneck Barnacles as known in the states. I think they look like turtle feet lol. I tasted them myself and they were clam-like and very good. The desserts...skip them. They are pedestrian, at best, and just not worth the price. If you order cocktails, as we did, they are very heavy-handed - WHOOP! The "green wine" as they call it, is basically a light white wine and the prices are very good. The waiters are super nice and very efficient, in my opinion. We dined twice during our trip and had three different servers...all great! Credit cards are accepted. No smoking. HAVE FUN and check out my pictures. read more

Spent my birthday week in beautiful Lisboa this year and had to choose the famed Cervejaria Ramiro as my birthday lunch spot!!! It truly did not disappoint. As a seafood lover this place was heaven on earth. We got the famous Sapateira with custardy crab innards and crab meat that you scoop on top of buttered pieces of toast (absolutely insane. Seriously never had anything like this and it was incredible). We also got the scarlet prawns and it was like eating an entire colony of shrimp in every bite - very scrumptious, very veryyyy shrimpy. This is definitely not a dish to be near anyone with a seafood allergy. Ended this feast with their famed "dessert" - a prego sandwich which is still on my mind now 6000 miles away. Do not skip out on that. Service was prompt but we were also first in line hehe. This was a life changing dining experience and one of those cult Lisbon fan faves that is not overhyped at all - I will highly recommend it to everyone visiting. Obrigada!!! read more

Anyone who is planning a trip to Lisbon should look at Ramiro openings and reserve accordingly. It is that worth it. I would take it to a level of saying "don't go in August, cause they are closed for a month." Although this is THE touristiest place, may be we were very lucky, but we got the friendliest and timeliest service of our entire Portugal trip. Our server was patient and helpful to allow us to taste whatever we wanted. Next time, I would even try to go couple times within a week. read more

Fresh and delicious seafood! Service I very quick and food comes out quick! They allow online reservations that require a 50 euro deposit that they take off your final food bill. Highly recommend Reservations. Came on a weekday around 12:30pm and no lineup surprisingly. They also expanded (in the last 5 yrs) so they have a lot more space. By 1:30pm place was packed. Must orders: SCARLET PRAWN is a must...way better than the giant Tiger prawn. Garlic clams were delicious, and glass prawns as well. Barnacles are very unique, taste kind of like snails. Edible crab is very good. Cheers read more

Ramiro was good but I have had better seafood in Porto plus a few other places in Lisbon that were just as good, so 3 stars from me. Also we did a walk-in and were told that the wait was gonna be 1-hour but we ended up waiting for 3 hours. The food came out 5 minutes after we ordered, very unusual for Portugal. 5 of us shared a variety of food from the menu, bread, cheese, bifana, tiger prawns, jamon, razor clams, garlic shrimps etc. They were all pretty good but to be honest nothing stood out that blew my mind. IMHO the best way to prepare tiger prawns is chargrill and garlic butter, unfortunately that wasn't how Ramiro prepared the dish. For your reference each tiger prawn is about 30 Euros and they are sold by weight. read more

TLDR: The hype is real. Absolute stunner of a meal in a relaxed environment. Come for the goose barnacles and locust lobsters. Vibe: 5/5. Ramiro has expanded in recent years into neighboring storefronts to create a ginormous multilevel restaurant. From the street, the restaurant is the centerpiece of the block it resides on. Both inside and outside seating is available (outside has heat lamps for colder months). Inside, the restaurant is a sprawling complex of beautifully decorated dining rooms. White linen tablecloths cover every table to match the nicely embroidered Ramiro linen napkins. Tables are typically oversized 4 tops, which parties of 2 will usually share with another party of 2. During my dinner, this is exactly what happened to my 2 person table, however we never had a problem with table space. Service: 5/5. Everyone at Ramiro was a pleasure to work with. We made dinner reservations weeks in advance, as this place is very popular. The reservation requires a 25 euro per person deposit, which is deducted off your dinner bill. On the evening of our dinner, we arrived promptly at our 6:30pm reservation time and the host stand was quick to get us to our table. The host stand is located on the outside right side of the restaurant, which they will then show you through the center main entrance once your table is ready. When we were seated, our waiter was great at explaining the ordering process and some of the questions we had in regards to some of the unique seafood and pricing. Food came out well paced and relatively quickly. Finally, when it was time to settle up on the bill, they use POS handhelds which made things quick and easy. Ramiro waiters do not expect tips, however we felt compelled to tip as our waiter went above and beyond for us. Food: 5/5. Amazing meal. Everything we had was ultra fresh and prepared perfectly. Ramiro has a very diverse selection of seafood catering to all budgets. While there are $100+ euros lobster and langostine options that I'm sure are tasty, some of the best items can be had for under $20 euros. We opted to go the cheaper route and ran the menu for some of the more obscure seafood items. For dinner, we tried the locust lobster, goose barnacles, spiney Durex, clams in garlic, shrimp in garlic, deep water saltes shrimp, iberico ham and manchego and of course, the iconic steak sandwich for dessert. One thing to note when ordering, most of the seafood is ordered by weight, with some having a set serving size, ie. anything cooked with garlic in a skillet. For a table of 2 ordering several items, 200-300 grams of each seafood was the perfect amount. We were most impressed with the clams in garlic, locust lobster and surprisingly, the goose barnacles. The barnacles are a delicacy to Portugal and taste like a cross between a clam (texture) and a lobster (taste). Plus, they are an absolute blast to eat. Simply grab the hardened end and twist/pull the neck end to uncover the soft tender meat. Also, the savory steak sandwich dessert was extremely tasty and the perfect way to close out a wonderful meal. read more

My wife and I tried to go here last (Friday) night without a reservation at the height of Portuguese dinner time - 8 pm, and only lasted 30 minutes before we bailed and went to another (unnamed) place nearby. It was just okay. Cervejaria Ramiro is more than okay - way more. On our second attempt we showed up at 5:10, just after they opened for dinner and only had to wait 15 minutes before we were seated. We had heard from our food tour guide a couple days prior that their food was good but the service wasn't very good. Maybe we just lucked out tonight (Saturday night) but we were very well taken care of, almost as if we were the late Anthony Bourdain, or Phil from Somebody Feed Phil. The menu was on a QR code link, but neither my wife nor I could load it. One of the younger waiters came over, changed some of our settings, and we were in business. The menu has pictures so if you're thrown by the Portuguese you can just point to a picture and say "I want this!" Or you can point AND try to say it in likely-mangled Portuguese. We did a combination of both and got: Serrano ham (superb, freshly shaved off of a whole ham) -- yum! Spot prawns in garlic butter sauce (also superb) Two small beers and two bottles of lemon rattler Barnacles (first time to try them and I'm now a fan) Boiled prawns (simply delicious) Edible crab (this was spectacular and reminded us both of Jonah crab, but we could eat the whole beast, not just one claw) Lemon sorbet with vodka Freshly sliced mango I highly recommend this place, but here are a couple of things you should know: It's super popular, so make a reservation, go early, or be okay with a long wait It's not a typical Portuguese restaurant with sardines and cod cakes -- just lots of fresh, reasonably priced seafood Oh and our price for all of that yumminess? Just a hair over 100 . read more

Our tour guide for the day and an Uber driver suggested Ramiro as the best seafood restaurant in Lisbon. The restaurant did not disappoint us. The restaurant has a large seating capacity. We were a group of six, arrived at restaurant around 7:35 pm and waited around an hour. While waiting we drank from the self dispensing Sagres beer station. Antonio, our server was pleasantly helpful with us. The bread and butter was great. We ordered Pata Negra and cheese appetizers. As entrees we order one Centolla crab, Gambas al Ajillo and Clams. All the food served was excellent. When visiting Lisbon and like seafood, Ramiro is a visit you should add to your list. read more

Was advised before leaving for our trip that we have to make a reservation which we did. Had no problem prepaying €25 per person which is applied to your bill. Our hotel was a15 minute walk but the tram does go passed the restaurant. Upon arrival we were brought upstairs and seated at a table that could seat 6 to share with another couple. Actually made for a pleasant meal as they were great to chat with. Our server was very helpful, funny and gave suggestions. I could have picked every item on the menu but it was just two of us sharing. Garlic shrimp was good, not fabulous as were the Clams in garlic. The splurge was the Edible Crab, a large crab with a crab dip filling the hollowed out crab body. We were given hammers to crack the claws which took quite a few whacks to get to the plentiful sweet meat. Hint: take a clean napkin and place over the claw before the whack. The beer is pretty light and you can easily drink a number of glasses. The tradition here is to finish your meal with a steak sandwich which is easily shared. read more

So sad to have called so far to try the seafood here. When I arrived the outdoor seating was closed and they put me at a table in the corner of the restaurant facing the wall. It was hot and the service was not accommodating or friendly. Really disappointed. I didn't eat here I left immediately. I wouldn't recommend going here. So many other fabulous spots and the location was really rough. Not a good part of the city to venture around in. read more

My favorite meal in Lisbon! Managed to get in without a reservation by lining up before opening, but reservation is definitely recommended if you plan on going. The clams in garlic were on point with the side of buttered bread to dip into the sauce. First time trying scarlet Shrimp and would definitely have it again. The shrimp was cut in half and topped with the juices from the head which gave it a burst of umami. Soaked everything else up with the bread as well to get every last bit of it. The tiger prawns were well cooked with a nice char. Would recommend going with bigger groups to try everything, but even solo it was an amazing meal. read more

Provender: I had a wonderful experience here, eating seafood. The wait staff were attentive and the food was delicious. I ordered the jumbo prawns and garlic razor clams and highly recommend ordering both. They have menus in English with corresponding pictures of the meals. Prices: pricy compared to other restaurants in Lisbon, however, since it's seafood (which is generally pricey) the overall cost was very reasonable. Parking: N/A People: fun for all, but geared for adults. Perks: I recommend making reservations ahead of time to avoid a wait. The jumbo prawn is by weight, and my prawn cost about less than half of the kg price listed on the menu. If ordering the garlic clams, I recommend eating them quickly since it cools down fast. read more

If you don't have reservations you can walk up to the kiosk by the door and enter how many people in your party to get a numbered ticket. It's not in any sequence though so you never know how long you'll have to wait. Lol. Once your table is ready there will be announcement with your number and the floor (ground or 1st floor). You will also see your number up on the small screen. My husband and came around 530 on a Saturday and waited about an hour. When I came with girlfriends last time (group of 4 and 7) we barely waited but it wasn't peak dinner or lunch. There is a waiting area lounge with a beer vending machine. You come for the seafood but can't miss the bread with butter and the steak sandwich! They do take credit card. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

See all

You are likely familiar with this place from both "No Reservations" and "Somebody Feed Phil". And so is the rest of the world, which means crowds and lines. I went for lunch on a Thursday in October. So my experience was that I walked by at 11:40 a.m. and there was no line. I went to the ATM and return. Within those ten minutes, a line formed, and I ended up being eighth or ninth in line. I was able to be seated right at noon, when they open, but that's how it works. The staff was super friendly and service was good. Everyone seemed happy that the customers were there and happy to serve. The menu is on a tablet and the tablets are a bit few and far between. They were out of the two items I wanted (prawns and something else), so I had to figure out another options. I ended up with garlic shrimp, bread, cheese, and a beer. So not exactly the food I was looking for, but overall, the meal was delicious. My garlic shrimp were super flavorful and perfectly cooked. And you can never go wrong with Portuguese bread and cheese. It was the first time I had a Sagres, and if you like a lighter beer, this works well. I'd happily return to Ramiro. I really want to try more of their seafood options and the prego (didn't have one the entire time I was in Portugal). read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Delicious lobster! - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Everyone kept on telling me to try out this place so I had extremely high expectations. The first time I tried to visit I came on a busy day and didn't have time to wait for a table. They get packed pretty early so either make a reservation or come when you a lot of free time and no plans for afterwards. You can dress pretty regular, it isn't a fancy place. The clams were sooooo good. Honestly the best clams I've had. The bread was okay. The prawns were seasoned well. The lobster was a bit underwhelming and not seasoned like the rest of the food. If you are from the Caribbean the food would seem a bit under seasoned. I thought everything was fresh but I've had better seafood on the beach in West Africa and the Caribbean. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Clams and lobster - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

This place came very highly acclaimed by many podcasts and food articles so I had high expectations. For me it was pretty underwhelming compared to most of restaurants I went to in Lisbon. The seafood is all very fresh and it's pretty cool how essentially everything is live and in tanks around the restaurant before they cook them for you. I just found that the dishes were so simple that they lacked flavor and complexity. For some people this is the goal for seafood but for me it was a bit boring. Definitely a local spot so if that's important to you, then this will check that box. They take credit cards like nearly all restaurants in Lisbon. read more

Do yourself a favor and make a reservation by emailing the restaurant a few days before your visit. It was a quick and painless process and we got to skip the line as a result. The restaurant is popular with both locals and tourists alike to be prepared to wait in the ticketed queue without a reservation. Having been triple recommended by friends, we arrived with sky-high expectations and the restaurant still managed somehow to throughly exceed those expectations. This is THE spot for seafood and I'll be coming back every time I visit Lisbon again in the future. You're initially served a basket of garlic bread when seated but I recommend resisting the urge to eat it right away. Instead, order the garlic clams or shrimp and use the garlic bread to mop up some of that delicious broth in the pan. They also sell cheap beer by the glass, which is the perfect pairing for seafood IMO (sorry not a big wine drinker). We rounded out our meal with the edible crab which comes with a large crab back filled with delicious crab gooeyness (a mix of the brain and innards), another thing that the garlic bread can be used as a vessel for. As Anthony Bourdain once said and I'm paraphrasing a little here, "I guess somebody would throw the crab back away. They tear the legs off, eat it and then throw the crab out. Stupid people. All that good stuff - brains and fat and magic - it's like unicorn juice." I have to agree at the crab back is the best part! Finally came favorite part of the meal, the giant tiger prawns, which were more the size of small lobsters coming in at about 300g (~11 ounces) per prawn. Absolutely divine. I wanted to try some of the other seafood on their menu but sadly didn't have any more room. I'll be back for sure. read more

Delicious fresh seafood! I happened to read my friend's review right before coming here, prepared to wait 2 hours for a table of 2. To my surprise, the wait here was pretty effortless and quick of about 30mins. Enter around the middle and there will be a machine where you can obtain a number. Select your language and it will spit out a paper with a number, which you will then hear in your language from the overhead. Walk over to the left side and there is a bar, where you can order drinks and snacks while you are waiting. It might be easy to miss your number if you're not paying attention, but they had a worker stand around the bar, repeating the number and scouting for the correct party. My cousin and I shared the garlic clam, one small whole crab, two giant tiger prawns, 2 beers and bread and butter, which all came up to be ~75 euros. The garlic clams were my personal favorite. Dip your bread in the sauce and yummmm. The tiger prawns weren't as tender as I would have liked but they tasted like the consistency of lobster. The crab was okay, I didn't feel like it was any special but I also love crab, so I can't hate it. The service here was great. Our waitress spoke good English, helped with recommendations and was quick at getting our food and check. Would I wait 2 hours here? No, but for a 30 mins wait, this isn't bad at all! read more

Great value and great taste. Came here after seeing it on a Mark Wiens video. Yelp reviews mentioned a long wait at dinner time so we came at lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived after 12, but it was almost full when we left before 2. In any case, lunch is best to avoid a wait. The waiter was very helpful in recommending dishes. In fact he recommended what turned out to be my favorite seafood item EVER... scarlet shrimp. Highly recommend this dish. So flavorful and buttery. They are really big too. Another highlight is "edible crab". It had a lot of meat and also roe. Quite tasty. Apart from that I think the seafood quality is on par with what you can get from decent seafood places in the US... just more flavorful (and cheaper). Note that most items on the menu seem to be shellfish. I don't think that there was any fish or octopus. read more
