I appreciated the ticketing system but the times were fairly inaccurate. We ended up waiting about 2 hours, which was fine since we arrived at a busy hour. By the time we left the crowds had emptied and it was 11 pm. I would recommend getting there early/non peak because by the time we got there it was out of stock. We ordered the barnacle, garlic shrimp, tiger prawns, and the edible crab. I had no idea what a barnacle was, but it just tasted like sea water. I'm glad I tried it, but not something I would go for again. The garlic shrimp oil went well with the bread. Tiger prawn and crab was also good but both were a bit overcooked. Service I thought was pretty good. Our server was uncaringly helpful, meaning he was very helpful but in an uncaring manner. You order with the server what you want and he'll put in what he thinks is an appropriate amount for the sampling. We were a group of 3 and only spent about 35 euros, so not bad. I would experience it at least once, but wouldnt wait 2 hours again. read more

Great seafood at awesome prices. This place was fortunately right across our hotel, so we were able to scope out when the lines weren't too ridiculous. We decided to come here for a super late lunch and didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes to get a table. Very simple menu and ordering. Seems like the specialty is barnacles; however, I'm not really that into them so I played it safe with the giant shrimp (which they heavily cook in garlic and oil) and the crab. You eat with your hands and it gets quite messy so be prepared! They give you some bread to eat with the seafood, and along with a couple of cold beers, it is the perfect meal. Definitely don't miss this spot when in Lisbon! read more

Ahhhhhmmmmaaazzziiiiinnngggg! This was our last stop on our last day in Portugal. What a great way to end our stay there in Lisbon. Granted Yelp isn't huge in Portugal but it's getting there so I was weary at first but trusted the good ol Yelp reviews and it didn't let me down. We came here around dinner time about sometime between 730-8pm. Waited for about 1 hour before our number was called and we were seated. When you first get to the restaurant make sure you check in and get a number. I suggest waiting in the waiting area right in front of the screen that displays the numbers being called because they don't always call out the numbers and you might miss your table if you're elsewhere. Not to mention the screen is tiny. While you wait you can purchase beer tokens and redeem them at the self meet dispenser in the waiting area. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs and downstairs. We were seated upstairs. They bring over an iPad which contains the food and drink menu for you to browse over while they give you recommendations and answer any questions you have. We decided one the EDIBLE CRAB, GIANT TIGER PRAWNS, GARLIC SHRIMP, and GARLIC AND BUTTER BREAD. EDIBLE CRAB- definitely my favorite of the night. The rock crab was huge and the crab meat was beyond sweet and perfectly steamed. But the best part of the amazing crab was the head. They took all the good stuff and made a creamy, pate like dip that you can enjoy with almost anything. I paired it with the garlic bread and crab meat of course. 5 stars***** GIANT TIGER PRAWNS- slightly buttery and grilled to perfection with a side of lemon. Mmm mmm MMMM! Sweet meat and the prawns are def huge. 5 stars**** GARLIC SHRIMP- garlic-y goodness. Shrimps are large, juicy, and cooked to perfection. 5 stars**** GARLIC AND BUTTER BREAD- crispy and flaky bread with just the right amount of butter. Use it to dip with your edible crab head or the remainder garlic butter from the Carlos shrimp. 5 stars*** All items are priced according to weight in kgs. Our bill ended up being about 92 euros so a little over $100 USD. Hands down probably one of the best $100 I've spent. If I ever were to come back to Portugal this would be my first and last stop. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

I saw this place on travel YouTube channel called migrationolgy. The guy ate this edible crab and it looked delicious. The receipt says it's sapateira, mine was just under €27. The giant tiger prawns were just over €30. That edible crab has a bunch of meat and other creamy stuff in the shell that you can soak up with bread or just eat with a spoon. I was worried that it would have a fishy or sea water taste but the creamy stuff had a sweet and clean crab flavor. The meat was more like a sweet snow crab. Even though it looks like Dungeness crab, it doesn't have that sea water aftertaste. The giant prawns are no joke. More like lobster tail size. Still tasted like sweet shrimp, just huge. We had a half pound that ended up being two of those giants. They cut them in half the long way in grill it up with some nice oil and butter. We also had the Galic shrimp, beer, soda, and some Portuguese bread. Everything was delicious. Probably should not have eaten so much but it was worth it. Total bill ended up being under €75 or about $92. It think that is less that this meal would have been in the US. read more

Now this is the place to be! What an incredible experience! I came here on the first night I was in town and the restaurant was closed due to renovations and I couldn't believe we were missing out, especially because the re-open date was scheduled for after we left Portugal. Well, thankfully we extended our stay and got to try it for ourselves. The first thing to know is the second you get there, you have to swim through the patio and sidewalk swarming with people and get yourself a ticket at the machine. You can check on timing throughout your wait, but expect to be waiting a while. We went to dinner at 5pm, and had to wait a good 1.5 hours. When we got there, we had the pleasure of being served by Tiago. He was extremely friendly and was so in tune with our table. The food was absolutely delicious, but Tiago's service was really what made this experience... Even when he forced me to hold onto the living crab and other creatures as he walked by our table to get them cooked and ready for us to eat. We definitely ordered too much food, but everything was so rich and delicious. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Delicious seafood restaurant that lived up to the name of being one of the best seafood spots in Lisbon. Major tip - they accept reservations via email, and as guilty as you may feel skipping past all of the people waiting an hour+ in line outside, it's SO worth it. Once we got there, we immediately got seated upstairs in a large dining hall that was super bright and airy, and not as hectic as the downstairs dining room. We ordered the famed crab, giant tiger prawns, shrimp in garlic, and clams in garlic. The seafood was all super fresh and perfectly cooked. The crab was a bit difficult to eat, but one of the servers helped by demonstrating the correct way to use the mallet (smash down on the legs without any ounce of timidness and cover with a napkin to avoid spraying your neighbors!). The crab also came with the shell, which was overflowing with its yummy crab mustard. The star of the meal were the giant tiger prawns. The prawns from Portugal have a sweetness that you just can't find in the States. They were extremely tender and bursting with flavor. Both the clams and shrimp were yummy as well, but more like fillers. While they weren't as outstanding as the crab and giant tiger prawns, they were both delicious and added some variety so I still recommend ordering them! The crusty buttered bread that came with each table (part of the "couvert") was perfect for scooping up the bits of caramelized garlic from the shrimp dish. Ramiro is a must-go for visitors! Just make sure to EMAIL IN ADVANCE! (geral@cervejariaramiro.pt) read more

I was aching to eat here the entire trip to Portugal and when I finally made my way to Ramiro's on a Sunday night around 8:30pm I was taken back by the crowd of people outside. After taking the ticket which is as coveted as a power ball, we waited outside among 50 other people here before us. Here is my breakdown of the experience. Negative: Everyone is smoking outside when you wait which is usual for Europe but I hate being around that stuff. People are coming up to you every 10 minutes asking for $$. The waiter was as a military commander who happen to get a job in hospitality (in other words he was not very nice). Wait was 1.5 hours. No privacy at the tables and you are an arms length away from other diners. I read some people describe this restaurant as affordable but I do not think it is cheap at all. A small portion of shrimp with garlic with no sides is close to 11 Euros. Positive: The small grocery store next doors sells water for 40 cents so if you are thirsty and don't want beer head over there. The garlic shrimp is amazing but very small portion. The bread and butter is worth whatever they are charging (but keep in mind that if you don't want to pay for it, you will have to decline it when it is brought to your table). There is an automated beer dispenser where you can get a cold one for 2 Euros. Overall I thought the dining experience was fine but I am not about waiting for tables for close to 2 hours and then spending 45 minutes eating. By the time our number was called at 10pm I was over it. read more

The restaurant is top notch and highly recommended in Lisbon! We were on vacation from the states and extremely enjoyed this experience. We had about a half hour wait during off season and early dinner time. The restaurant is small but very intimate and cute! Food was amazing. We had several dishes shrimp on garlic was nice, barnacles was a treat, spiny dye-murex was also very nice, crab meal was good and steak sandwich was tasty. Even the bread was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Best seafood and experience I have ever had. Walked in at 5:15pm on a Tuesday with no reservations. Got seated right away. It is empty at this time. Come back at 7pm and you have to wait 2 hours. We ordered almost everything. Shrimp, clams, crabs, two different types of prawns, and dessert. It was all amazing! Everything I ate I did a little dance in my seat. They come and help you as well. They fixed up our crawfish and helped me with my crab. The first waiter we had was so nice and he shook our hands at the end and gave us hugs. The meal cost around $140 US dollars and was worth every penny. We left extremely stuffed, but it was worth it. This place was on Somebody Feed Phil (Netflix) and they definitely were right about it. All our uber drivers confirmed that this is the best place for seafood. It is not just a tourist trap but the locals go too. Recommendations- Monday they are closed. The fishermen don't go out on Sunday, so a lot of places are closed or don't serve seafood on Mondays. Go early!!! Don't wait till 7pm. Go at 5pm and you can just walk right in. This is not your typical American seafood that is fried or Cajun style. It doesn't come with tartar sauce. Get outside your comfort zone. This is fresh seafood that they flavor comes from within. The crab though is creamy and has a ton of flavor if you absolutely need that. Make sure you order the crab and the different crawfishes. Dip your bread into the crab concoction and just enjoy every bite. read more

Fantastic! Order their spider crab and tiger prawns. The spider crab is served hot and was so sweet and moist. The edible crab was served cold and was like stone crab in the US. The edible crab had a Mayo mix in the shell. They are both good but I thought the spider crab was much better. Highly recommend! read more

I saw Mark Wien (youtuber) recommendations for this restaurant and his expressions was priceless when he was eating the seafood from here. Customer Service: 5/5 We didn't wait for long when we arrived for dinner because we made a reservations. Their waiters was very nice and attentive to our needs. They seem very happy serving us food and wine and ask if we need anything else. Ambiance: 5/5 They have two floors and it's quite modernize. I felt comfortable sitting there and they didn't really rush us. Food: 4/5 We ordered the following: garlic shrimps, tiger shrimps, oysters and stuffed crab. The oysters were huge and juicy. The garlic shrimps was good as well. My favorite was the tiger shrimps, huge and tender! read more

Never, ever have I seen a Tiger Prawn as large as the ones we ate at Ramiro! And the taste? Unreal! We ordered two cut in half so each of us could have one and then we ordered two more! We also had the shrimp in garlic sauce which was super delicious! Be prepared to wait but it's worth it! While you wait outside under the awning, there is a handy, dandy beer dispenser. My husband and our friend loved that feature! The place is crazy busy but that just adds to the experience! read more

This place is amazing. We were in town for 4 days and heard about this place. We had the toast, the cold crab, the clams, and the prawns. Each was equally delicious. The cold crab served in a shell was magnificent. We ate nothing but seafood and bread, but it was THE BEST seafood & Bread I'd had. I can't wait to get back to Lisbon. I'll be here for dinner every night. Oh yes, and the staff was extremely kind. It was definitely a great eating experience. I highly recommend this place. Do not let your concierge divert you any place else. You'll love me for this recommendation. read more

Found! Ramiro was featured in Anthony Bourdain's show, but it has been "hiding" in Lisbon since the 50's. They do take reservations and some hotels have a connection, otherwise plan to wait outside for awhile. Once inside the waiters are seasoned properly making you feel right at home and helping you with your order. They have mastered the bread which is critical to soak up the various plates of seafood and garlic/oil/butter/etc. We tried the shrimp and garlic, crab, clams, and steak sandwich....each better than the one before. This is a must stop in Lisbon. For more great reviews visit TheLoupe! read more

Food is awesome. I always come here when I'm in Lisbon. But this time the service was not up to par. I came for lunch so they were not packed.

I will still come back some the seafood is the best. read more

The food was absolutely amazing, and I thought was reasonably priced. I highly recommend that you book a reservation before coming, the lines are very long at all times of the day for lunch and dinner! It's a little chaotic... the waiter handed the table one tablet menu, which made it difficult for the 6 members of the party to see what we could order. We felt a little rushed and they seemed to want to turn over tables quickly, which is rare in Europe Bc people take their time eating. This restaurant was featured on Anthony Bordain's No Reservation so there are tons of people trying to eat here. All the seafood is delicious!!! read more

The sea provides for the Lisbon locals and Romero's delivers and epic experience seafood experience to its patrons. I read some snarky reviews complaining of surly impatient waiters but my experience was quite different. Summer tourists will make any person a bit irritated, yet by late October the smiles return. We had jumbo langoustine , razor clams, barnacles (local fav) and a divine garlic shrimp. Like Joe's stone crabs romiros is a well oiled machine. You can't go wrong with any choice of entree. read more

10/10. If you're in Lisbon you cannot leave without savoring the deliciously fresh seafood from Ramiro! They open at 12 and honestly it's worth coming once for lunch to avoid the 2-3 hour wait time AND THEN come back later in the day to experience it once more. This has to hands down be the freshest seafood we ate during our stay in Lisbon. I had my heart set on the edible crab the whole trip and had the experience ruined at another restaurant. HERE the edible crab is 100% crab and doesn't have any of the weird condiments that the last place had. Price for the massive crab in the picture €22 and worth every euro! I highly regret not ordering the Goose Barnacles! So don't let that escape you. I don't even know why I walked away without trying them. Maybe because we ordered so much dang food? But from what I have heard it's a must try! We ordered the garlic clams €11, they were tasty but tiny! I'm used to having much larger clams. But the garlic soupy-ness was awesome to dip the toasted bread into! We also ordered the garlic prawns and these hands down were my favorite. Nice and spicy and the garlic wasn't overdone. Those were around €13 and totally worth every bite! The restaurant is located in not the most touristy or nice location, but don't let that steer you away! The restaurant has quite a bit of indoor seating but you end up having to share tables with strangers half the time since they're all about efficiency and trying to get people in and out. Staff is super friendly! read more

As expected this place was packed on a Sunday night, though we were one of the firsts just as the rush started to come in at 7pm. We tried calling to see if they took reservations but nobody picked up. Came in with a party for 4, really easy check in process. Just enter your language and number of people in your party and they print out a number for you. When it's your turn they will call out your number. We waited about 20 minutes before getting seated. Saw this restaurant on many favorites lists and had pretty high expectations but honestly this was one of the worst meals we had this entire trip. Not only was the food soso, the service was not very good and tables are a bit crammed. If you have any belongings there just isn't much space to put it anywhere. When we sat down, I tried to wave down a server. We made eye contact, he saw me and just looked away and shook his head. What?!?!? Can you please at least acknowledge us or ask another server to help us? When our actual server came to help us, he was very rushed, didn't make good recommendations and didn't care. He forgot to put in one of our dishes and each time we wanted to order more, you could tell he was frustrated and annoyed. After a while we decided to just ask for the bill because someone who doesn't want to take our order and accept our business should not get it. Every restaurant we ate at during this trip had servers that actually were joyful to be around, kind and made amazing recommendations. I thought everyone in Lisbon was super nice, but this restaurant is an outlier. Hopefully they fix that. As for the food. Some of our seafood was overcooked,wasn't very fresh and over seasoned with salt. Menu is limited to simply prepared seafood, not a very extensive menu. For the price I would recommend going to another restaurant. This one just doesn't cut it. read more

Came here due to the high reviews and was not disappointed! The ticketing system is pretty efficient, there is a screen outside with English and Spanish options where you can input the # of people and you can also use to check on the wait time for your #. Then there's a little monitor above the door that shows the number that is up. As others have mentioned, there is a beer tap machine outside in the patio while you wait. I waited for about 30 minutes for a table for one. The restaurant looks very small at first glance but they also have an upstairs and a downstairs. They give you an iPad which has the menu and tell you to write down your order on the table. I was going by the pictures at first because the menu was in Portuguese but if you go back, there are other language options. I got the spider crab, clams, and jumbo tiger prawns. He mis-read my order and gave me the small prawns instead of the tiger prawns. Spider crabs have so much roe! And it was delicious. They give you a small mallet to smash the crab claws which you have to be careful with cause the broken pieces will just shoot off in all directions. The small prawns were good too but the biggest surprise were the clams -- they have to be the best clams I've ever had. I don't know how they make their sauce but it was on point. Not exactly a cheap place but all the seafood are fresh and you can't really go wrong with any dish. Had to take it down to four stars due to service. I was clearly done and the server paid me no attention for over 15 mins even though he was walking by every ten seconds and then it took him another twenty mins to bring the check. But I definitely recommend this spot if you're in Lisbon read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Clam in garlic sauce - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

A must try if you love seafood and are in Lisbon (and don't have gout). There you will find a premium assortment of shellfish prepped in simple ways for a feast as grand as your waistline/wallet will allow. Try not to wear anything fancy since the ambiance is super casual and sometimes your table-mates will accidentally splatter shellfish juice In every direction when they use the seafood mallets. ordering can be a bit confusing despite the iPad menu but the servers can help with portions and quantities to order. Alternatively, show them pictures of what you want to expedite the process. Overall food was good and service was efficient. But it's not the best seafood meal I've ever had. The giant tiger prawns were a bit tough but scarlet shrimp was tasty. The standout dish was the sautéed shrimp in roasted garlic and olive oil. The clams in garlic and butter were a good choice too. With that being said, some things looked better than they taste. For instance, the crab was just so so for me to the point that I wished I had ordered something else. Not sure if it's because I was expecting more tomalley than roe? Either way, the roe was a bit dry so we didn't even finish the whole thing. For adventurous eaters who are inspired by a Andrew Zimmern, you can try the percebes/goose barnacles which taste interesting, but not essential. I was warned that queues can get crazy long so I emailed Cervejaria Ramiro to secure a reservation (thanks Yelp for the tip!). Prices are on the high side so be warned! read more

Excellent seafood place - one of the best and memorable meals I had in Europe. It's casual, efficient, and the food is delicious. You leave feeling that you had a damn good meal. Arrived in the mid-afternoon and stood in line for about 20 minutes. The cool thing is they have a coin operated beer dispenser in the front patio area - you can grab a cold one while waiting - woot! The inside is pretty casual - I remember seeing one reviewer compare it to a Chinese restaurant. It's a little like that with the tablecloths and fish tanks and all. The server will hand you an iPad where you can review the menu options - I like that the menu is simple (not extensive & long) which makes for easier ordering. Note that you can't actually order on the iPad itself - you order with the server. Since I was solo and didn't want to waste food, I couldn't order one of their infamous crabs :( Went with the half order of bread, garlic clams, oysters (2 or 3 pieces), one giant tiger shrimp, and beer. I was a little confused on how much weight to order, but for things like the giant shrimp and oysters, you can just tell the server how many you want. Some items are sold not by weight and only by order (i.e. garlic clams). The food comes out quickly - one by one, I got my stash of goods. The garlic clams were yummy - it was served in a small metal pot and came out hot. The clams were bathing in a buttery broth sauce (probably made with olive oil) with bits of garlic and cilantro. I loved dipping my bread into the sauce - delicious. The oysters were good as well. The tiger prawn was gigantic - felt like I was having lobster. I did wish it was a bit more tender and less overcooked, but it was still good nevertheless. At the end, when you look at your pile of dishes and shells, you feel that you had a great meal. If you're a tourist, you feel a little sad since this place won't be accessible. Damage for 1 person (bread, oysters, garlic clams, 1 giant tiger prawn, beer) - 35 Euros. Not bad at all. Service was great - quick and friendly. Hope to come back! read more

Foreigner travelers, AVOID this place! They have the worst waiters if you don't speak their language. The food is average for the price you pay for. There's so many great seafood restaurants in Lisbon with much better food and service. Personally, I love Solar 31 with its excellent razor clams and other fresh seafood. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive even if you hardly speak the language. Again, Ramiro is way too hyped up by a bunch of people who don't care about service, value, and real fresh seafood dishes. read more

Don't let the Beer Hall name fool you - this place is known for great seafood. They do not take reservations and my hotel said to get there early. I arrived at 4:30p and there was already a line out front. By 5p all the downstairs tables were filled. What this place lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in great seafood. If you are craving fresh crustaceans you will want to make a beeline here. The place is organized chaos, with the waiters running around delivering food to hungry tourists. It starts with them handing you a tablet to decide on your order. The seafood is priced by the kg and they don't tell you how much is in an order, but don't panic as the prices are reasonable. Despite the beer name, they serve a lot of wines. I ordered a green wine which, light, bright and fizzy, went well with the seafood I ordered the boiled peel and eat prawns which were a decent size and there were at least 10 on the plate. The only thing lacking was some cocktail sauce (they put mayo on the table, but to me that is an abomination). Next up were 4 raw oysters and garlic shrimp. The shrimp were my least favorite dish as the shrimp were a bit over cooked but the sauce was nice and garlicky. They served bread with it, but I skipped it to save room for the crab (bread is for amateurs). Oh the crab! Sooo good. It is served with a plastic mallet so you can extract every sweet morsel from the shell. They don't serve any melted butter, but the crab is so sweet you don't need anything to mask the flavor. After all that the bill came to €53! It was the best meal I had in Lisbon and if I was here longer I'd go again. I am grateful my co-worker mentioned this place or I might have skipped it because of the beer name. If it's seafood you're craving, you'll be wanting to add this to your list of must try places while in Lisbon read more

Fresh tasting seafood; seafood was on display. We tried almost everything. My favorite was the razor clams, shrimp with garlic, and pot of clams with garlic. No, you cannot add pasta or linguine into the pot, they don't have it! Waiters were good, and only spoke a little English. Seating was slightly cramped. They didn't add tip to the bill, but I paid some tip anyway to show appreciation. Both their website and my local driver said Ramiro does not take reservations. But, when we got there, we were about to be turned away because we did not have reservations. There were a lot of walk-in's. 1-Star off for arrogance of one of the head guys inside who was suppose to seat us, but he left us hanging, standing for 2 minutes, refusing to acknowledge us when there were open tables. I don't mind, but his attitude was very poor, unlike most Portuguese I've come across. read more

There is a lot of hype about this restaurant. Apparently, it was a local favorite until the hordes of tourists descended on this place. Now, the locales go elsewhere and leave the place to the tourists. The seafood is mainly shell fish. We had two different kind of shrimps that were good and a nice clam dish. The food was good but nothing exceptional. The previous evening we dined at another known seafood restaurant and the shrimp dishes were better. Service was fine as was the wine. read more

Definitely an experience to have! I'll be honest, not THE best seafood I had in Portugal but one of the most fun and messy. The line gets really long really fast, so make sure you go early for lunch or dinner to avoid a long wait. People tend to eat late there so early for lunch means right before they open at 12pm and early for dinner means 6pm. I went for lunch once at 2pm on a weekday and we waited for 30minutes and for dinner at 8pm on a weekday and waited for 1.5hrs. The other time I went and didn't have to wait, I got there at 11:50am right before they opened and was the first to get in - aggressive but didn't waste time waiting in line. MUST GET: razor clams, big red prawns (forgot what they're called! but they're NOT the tiger prawns), crab if you like crab roe, lobster if you have a big group and don't mind spending more $. Also make sure to get their mangos in the end, it gives a nice sweet ending to the meal. DON'T GET: the non-seafood meats. What are you doing going to a fresh seafood place ordering meats? just save space for the seafood. OTHER TIPS: If you're waiting and want to get some beer, just go inside to the bar and ask to pay for beer tokens. There's a beer machine outside where you can get beer! read more
