As always, best seafood but becoming touristy. Service borders on rude. But food is delicious. I have tried majority from crab to clams in garlic. Today I had a whole lobster grilled with butter read more

We saw online and was suggested by someone at our hostel that this was THE place to go if we wanted seafood. I had percebes (goose barnacles) on my list of must things to eat in Lisbon, so we headed here specifically for them. At the front entrance, you select your language on an iPad and take a number. We were seated quickly upstairs, where it was a lot calmer than all the hustle and bustle downstairs in the tight tables. The menu is also on iPads, so we took a look while we ordered a couple of beers and had some fresh bread and butter.. before we went to order and were told they were all sold out of percebes. Of course they were! I was so disappointed but it was too awkward and felt rude not to order any food, so we decided on a few raw oysters and some clams with garlic. The oysters were super fresh and the clams came in a pot, steamed with garlic and butter, and the bread was perfect to dip. The food was great and the service was good, but a couple of other people were seated directly beside us at our table, who talked and ate really loudly, which, honestly, was pretty gross and irritating, and kind of dampered our eating experience. Just be prepared to possibly be in close quarters with other people! read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Clams with garlic, fresh bread with butter, and beer - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

See all

We got there around 5 and wait 20 mins for the table. Food was good but not as good as every one said. We ordered barnacle and spiny - served cold. It was too bad. The grille giant tiger shrimps are ok. It was a little over cooked. The scarlet shrimps and the garlic with clams was very good. The butter with toast breads are excellent! We liked our server very much. He kept the order sizes good for 3 person and not oversize the portion for us. Ambiance was good as well. But you need to get there early. This place will be packed after 6. read more

Overall not bad but not great. Overpriced seafood for Lisbon. Portion sizes pretty small and even though our waiter was nice there's no real way to tell how much you're spending as they do most fish by the pound. Not much ambiance. Tiger prawns we got were small even though they said Giant. The Spider Crab was good and fresh but very hard to crack shells. A lot of work and money for not much meat. I suspect there is alot better seafood in Lisbon at better prices. read more

BEST seafood hands down! My fiance and I went here on a Tuesday night at around 7 pm without a reservation and the wait was an hour... SO WORTH IT. There is a waiting area with a nifty little self serve beer stand so that helps kill time. We ordered a giant tiger prawn and the edible crab. That was enough for 2 people. We were so glad we didn't order more cause we were completely stuffed. -Giant Tiger Prawn: Delicious! Had the texture of lobster but more flavorful. -Edible crab: If you like crab roe, you'll have a whole big crab shell full of that stuff. I love crab roe since it reminds me of uni. If we had any more room to eat, we would have ordered the garlic shrimp which smelled like pure buttery garlic-y goodness. We thought based on the quality of the food that our bill would come out to be over $100 USD, but it was a little less than $75 USD (that included sparkling water and bread). Apparently it's possible to make a reservation via email so I would recommend doing that if you know exactly which day you can make it to Ramiro. Bottom line - If you are a seafood lover, this place is a must!! read more

Wow! What an experience. Such a pleasure to be able to eat here! We stopped by our first full day in Lisbon. It was 3 of us, and we got there just about right at noon, maybe a little after. We waited about maybe 45 minutes in total? Which wasn't bad - I don't think they started letting people in until about 15 minutes before we got called. The place / wait fills up very quickly so I recommend going early. While you wait, you can get a beer from the beer machine/wall. We got seated and the service was great! We ordered garlic clams and crab. It comes with very buttered bread (everything is actually just super buttered but alas..). We also got some rose. Midway through our meal we spotted giant prawns which we had opted out of when ordering. We ordered 3. They are huge. They also cost more than half the entire meal. I would not recommend them only because they are so expensive, though they come with so much meat. Definitely recommend this place! read more

We can now write reviews for Portugal!!! For my first Portugal review, I have to pick the best and most memorable place I went to: Cervejaria Ramiro. I admit, I found out about this place because of Anthony Bourdain. It's known for its fresh seafood - I'm allergic to shellfish so why in the world did I go here? Because I'm a crazy solo traveler that goes to different countries looking for trouble and finding the best restaurants!!! This originally was a beerhouse that has been open since the 1950's. There are several ways to get here: bus, metro or trolley - depending on where you're coming from. There's always a cab too but that's a lame way to travel. It's in a pretty dodgy part of Lisbon. A lady was getting mugged right outside the metro station I came from nearby. When I finally got to Ramiro, there was a looong line. Good thing I made a dinner reservation beforehand so I got to skip all that mess! I was watching everyone just enjoying and devouring langoustines, crabs, clams, barnacles, mussels, shrimps and shellfish I've never seen before. It's busy, loud and cramped - be prepared to rub elbows with the person at the next table. I was enjoying every moment of it. I was given an iPad to make my food selections. I picked pata negra, gambas al ajillo and of course, the famous prego. I was given some delicious buttery bread while I was enjoying my ice-cold glass of Sagres. My server was a sharp, quick, sweet, hardworking old man who looks like he's worked there for at least 30 years! Pata Negra: I flew in from Spain and have been eating jamon Iberico and all sorts of jamon every single day but I just love this stuff. Salty cured pork leg you warm up in between your fingertips before dabbing onto your lips then finally putting it in your mouth. I had a whole plate all to myself and yes, I did finish it. 5/5 Gambas al a Aguilho: After seeing the mugging incident, I figured I should stay alert and skip the Benadryl and limit my shellfish intake. The shrimps are already peeled and cooked in butter and lots and I mean LOTS of garlic. No hassle and mess of peeling. The first bite - I was in heaven. I was dipping my bread in the garlic butter. If I were to die from an allergic reaction, this would've been so worth it. Definitely 5/5 Prego: Steak sandwich with lots of garlic. They'll give you a bottle of mustard. I've tried it with and without mustard and I loved it either way. The steak is tender and juicy and the bread just soaks up all the juices. Holy Cristiano Ronaldo! THE BEST SANDWICH I've ever had. 5/5 read more

This is my 500th review and I've saved it for our favorite restaurant in Lisbon. Yes 500th review for a 5 stars place. Not just my saying, most everybody - such as Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern - agrees that it's among the best seafood place in Lisbon. The food is delicious. The staff friendly (they took out the real creature on a plate when language doesn't explain what a particular shrimp is.) Not to mention a very reasonable price. We enjoyed everything we had. The stone crab is served whole and the tomalley (crab fat) is mixed in a cream sauce that you can totally lap up with bread. Bread is not free but heck you want to use that for the delicious sauce. It's a cold sauce though - I think warming it will elevate the flavor even more. In the U.S., we don't harvest the whole crab. Rather we break off one claw and release the crab back into the ocean, so in a few years we can catch it again and break its another claw off. Supposedly that's more humane and sustainable, though honestly, if I were a crab I would just suggest they kill me right off and get it over and done with... We ordered a variety of prawns, not quite knowing the exact name of them. The menu has pictures but somehow doesn't match up to what the waiter described as he held them on the plate. The prawns are gigantic, filling up the whole plate. We like it grilled. If it's available, try the barnacles. I rarely see them in the U.S., it's tender and full of the flavor of the sea. And if you see the very scarlet carabineros shrimps, do not hesitate, order it. It' expensive, but it will likely be the best shrimp in your life. And at US$100 a lb back home, this place is a steal. The best part is, the staff is excellent consider that this place is so busy and so full of tourists. They tell us honestly if we order more food than we should, and take time to show us how to eat something for the first time. When it was time to pay the bill, we thought our feasting would have costed us about $100. To our amazement it came to around 50 Euro. A glass of beer was only 1.75!! The stone crab was about 24 Euro a kilo, which is 2.2 lbs, so turns out to be about $12 a lb, a ridiculously cheap price compares to what you pay for in Miami. Tip: Go early to avoid the wait, although now they have built a waiting area under awning so you don't have to stand in line. BTW there is a sink by the stairs for customers to wash their hands after indulging in the seafood. read more

Came to the restaurant around 630PM on a weekday and there was no wait. Because this place is so popular among tourists, I recommend coming before 7PM as there started to be a long wait starting then. We ordered the bread and butter (which was amazing), shrimp in garlic and oil, edible crab and clams. Loved the shrimp and clams but the crab was a little too salty for our taste. Overall, everything tasted great and the food came out quickly. I wouldn't recommend waiting in line for a long time though as there are a lot of other restaurants in the area that taste just as great and not as expensive. read more

One of the highlights of our trip to Spain and Portugal was this OUTSTANDING seafood place in Lisbon. My boyfriend found out about this spot from a friend and she gave us such a great review that we just made it a must on our list. Thankfully we did because, long story short, we went two days in a row to have some of the best seafood we've ever had (and bread and butter! No, not your average bread and butter). You could tell from the lines and the people we met at this restaurant that it truly is a special place that many travelers in Lisbon go to. Without it being a tourist spot. Actually, a local Portuguese friend did comment on my IG posts about this place and said "best seafood place in town". What to order? Bread and butter (eat alone or dip on every single other dish) Garlic shrimp Prawns Crab dip Coffee (amazing coffee to end the food journey at Ramiro's) read more

This place is a hot spot, regardless of time of day or day of the week. the wait was 1.5 hours on a Friday night at around 7. There is an outdoor waiting area that had the World Cup playing and a beer tap with ice cold local beer. there is a little iPad that allows you to place your name down in whatever native language you choose. don't let it's convenience make you think this is a tourist trap. I can attest that many locals go there (including my cousin who lives in Lisbon!) we went all out since it was Father's Day. we got the stone crab, prawns, garlic shrimp, garlic clams, and lots of beer. the bread on the side (not sure if it is complimentary given most places in Europe aren't) was crucial to sop up all the juices from the various dishes. for all the above, our bill came to only 100 USD. what a steal! we were dreaming of this place long after we left the country. read more

Don't understand the high reviews. Unpleasant dining experience overall. Loud, rushed, crazy environment for a meal. The waiter forgot my entree and the ones he brought for our party were edible but nothing more. The shrimp dishes were dredged in butter and the crab looked and tasted like it had some guts left in it. C+ food D- atmosphere/service C- overall Not worth it. read more

One of the best meals I've had in my entire life. My wife and I are from the U.S. and we were vacationing in Lisbon. We looked up the best seafood and this place showed up and I'm glad it did. The service and experience was fantastic. The seafood so fresh. We had tiger shrimp snails barnicals, crab dip and legs with our favorite the garlic shrimp. If we're ever lucky enough to come back to Lisbon this will be our first stop!! read more

AMAZING SEAFOOD YOU ALREADY KNOW. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. - There will be a wait but it goes super fast. They have automated system and speaker to announce and it's two stories! You can even buy a beer from a machine while you wait, though it's a bit tricky (just give it a few tries and gentle lovin'). - Tiger prawns are a must but they are huge. One for two people is plenty!! - Do a little bit of research before you go because they have a larger selection and you have a small tummy. Choose wisely! - BEER washes everything down and increased the taste and experience exponentially. read more

Wow, the best shellfish I've ever had and at a great price too! My boyfriend and I came here twice on our three day trip to Lisbon and we were blown away. You get a ticket from the machine and wait until your party is called. I wouldn't go by the machines wait estimate, instead ask the host as the machine was incredibly inaccurate. On a Saturday night prime time, expect to wait 1-2 hours (but walk around a little bit or get a drink to pass the time). All of the seafood is fresh and tasty. Make sure to ask how much something weighs. We ate for about $35 a person in night one and $45 a person on night two. The cost depends on what you get. The clams in garlic are yummy, but the shrimp in garlic is amazing!! Dipping a piece of bread into the golden garlic oil was like heaven. Then we got giant tiger prawns which were great and affordable. They're easy to eat and pretty tasty. The second night we ordered the edible crab which you will enjoy if you like crab. The main shell is used to make a dip that's is so delicious and then you have a mallet and tools for the legs. Definitely worth the wait. A great experience! read more

MAKE RESERVATIONS THROUGH EMAIL!!! Let's start with the best tip I read through Yelp! This will save you 2 hrs waiting in line! We jumped the line in front of a whole bunch of confused people wondering how we got seated right away. We made reservations on a Wednesday for a Friday lunch. We got confirmation back on the Thursday. They sent us upstairs to a area where it looked like all the locals were seated. The menu is priced in €/kg of a good list of seafood items. We opted for the shrimp with garlic, giant tiger prawns, and lobster. Giant Tiger Prawns: so meaty and delicious. We don't have anything like this in Toronto. Likely the highlight of my meal here. Only downside to this meal is it appeared one of our prawns was slightly undercooked at the head end. Garlic Shrimp: this came out first and was super fast. Great starter to get your appetite going. The sauce can be used to dip your bread in. Lobster: The grand finale for us. They came out with the live lobster asking if it was good. If you didn't already think it was fresh, It had eggs hanging off the legs and all. They offered it boiled and grilled option. We went with their recommendation of boiled. Lobster arrived and was just as fresh and delicious as the other 2 items. We paired the meal off with the green white wine, a specialty from the Azores. We had half a bottle of the Muralhas. So good! Highly recommended. All in all a great meal, although a bit expensive (maybe choose something other than lobster). read more

Seafood is to die for! Definitely this place is a must to visit if you are fan of seafood. Everything is extremely fresh and very very tasty. Be ready to wait in line to get a spot here. But it 100% worse it. We had clamshells, shrimps with garlic and tiger shrimps. Also you would get toasted bread with butter. Excellent. The only thing that I didn't like they don't have any salad or veggies. read more

This place is seafood galore. I consider this my top spot for seafood so far in Lisbon. Simple menu with a bunch of options: crab, shrimp, lobster - all simply seasoned and tasty! The restaurant isn't on a main tourist area, I wouldn't say it's safe to walk around at night. I recommend ordering an uber before you leave. read more

This place was a definite tourist spot. The garlic bread was great. The space seemed a little cramped but the seafood was indeed fresh. After hearing great things, I had to try this place while in Lisbon. I had the crabs. The crabs were succulent and juicy. The tables were a little cramped and too close together for my good but the food was good. There were not many options for sides and the food was served by weight. The experience was good, staff was nice, and the decor was quaint. I was not disappointed but I did feel a little underwhelmed. read more

If you've ever had seafood from the Gulf, you will be underwhelmed. The hype is huge for this place due to Bourdain and Phil shows, but the options are basically shrimp, clams, crab and LOTS of butter and sauce to dip usual bread. 2/3 of us had GI issues hours later... read more

What else can you come here for that's not yummy and fresh seafood?! This place is amazing if you want fresh seafood but be aware that you will have to wait quite a bit. Even though my family went around 5:30 we had to wait about an hour to be seated. Note that the seating is in a way where you have to pull a ticket and then wait as your name is called - it's a lottery system so it's based on how many people are in the party and if a table is open of that many seats. Once we were seated we were given bread with butter (amazing because it's warm)!! Now note, that you will be charged for this for taking some! Once we sat, we ordered the following: * tiger prawns - these were really good although the tail of the shrimp is a little more on the rubbery side (but this is a typical taste of the shrimp) * garlic shrimp in butter sauce - this was awesome, fresh shrimp and awesome to dip your bread in *edible crab - this is also good. I would say the flesh a little compared to other crabs I've eaten but very yummy and lots of crab brain which you can dip bread into * Scarlett prawns - this was probably the best thing we had at Ramiro's, the prawn would melt into your mouth and was extremely flavorful and juicy. I would highly recommend one to try it (although it's on the expensive side) Overall, great experience and I would give it a try! read more

Fantastic and absolutely worth the hype! This was our favorite meal in Lisbon. After seeing it featured on Netflix as well as being recommended by several foodies online, I knew we had to make a visit to Ramiro. If you don't have a reservation, be sure to grab a ticket from the tablet on the right. A disembodied voice will call out the numbers in Portuguese as you wait (there is also an electronic board with numbers above the door) and you should be aware they are not always consecutive. Also, there's beer to help the time pass! Luckily I made reservations for an early (7pm) Thursday dinner so we had no long wait (although I will note that there wasn't a long line at that time either.) In comparison, when we went back the following day around 830pm, the front patio was packed with people waiting. We ordered the garlic clams, garlic shrimp, tiger prawn, edible crab, and oysters. Our favorite was the shrimp, so yummy we ordered a second round. No rice, so we enjoyed dipping our bread in the delicious garlic sauce. The crab was time consuming but so good, and fun...we each got a crab mallet and rest to use while extracting the crab meat. Just be aware that it can be noisy and messy (for your neighbors too lol). The vinho verde our waiter recommended was a perfect accompaniment. And the entire seafood meal came out to less than 35 euros each for 3 people. Amazing! read more

Everybody in Lisbon told us to go here EVERYBODY! Has soon has you get here, March up to hostess stand and get your ticket We waited 1 hour and 45 min!

It's a slaughterhouse for fish and crustaceans. The people who sat next to us literally pounded the @#£€ out of the crab they were eating and spewed crab juice and shell all over everyone nearby, laughing and Instagramming the whole thing. When we arrived, we were given a number and told to wait in a pen area in front of the restaurant. 30 minutes later, our number was called, but the manager didn't believe us when we told him, so we had to wait another 10 minutes before he acknowledged his mistake by grunting and showing us to a table. The garlic clams and tiger prawns were so amazing that I am giving this place four stars even though I mostly hated the restaurant itself and the people who sat near us. Also, we tried barnacles and...they were good! read more

First stop after hopping off from the airport. It was around 2 o'clock. I decided to take the subway from the airport. I didn't have a reservation, so I was ready to wait and expected a long line. There was no line when I came and the host took me to the 2nd floor dining room near the kitchen. I was by myself and shared a table with another couple. My only problem was that the room was quite warm. I didn't want to take my jacket since I was sweating from walking with my heavy backpack. Mind you, I had just spent 16 hours flying from California and hadn't had a chance to shower. So I kept the jacket on me. Anyway, short story. I ordered the barnacles, rock crab, garlic shrimp, and lobster, a couple of breads, and a glass of ice-cold beer. Life was good. Foods were delicious and the waitress was very nice and efficient. By the way, didn't I mention the room was warm? It didn't help that I had to keep smashing those crabs with the hammer. If you are used to eating Dungeness crab, this one is different. You gotta smash it hard to get to the meat. Will I ever come back? In a heartbeat. The food was so good, seriously. BTW, for all of those, I only spent ~ 65 Euro. Good deal really. read more

11/10 Best seafood in Lisbon! There are flocks of people waiting to get in to this place. I wondered what all the fuss was about. We decided to give this a try for dinner. There's a coupon vending machine at the entrance. You've to take a coupon and wait till your number is displayed. On a good day, the wait is for about half an hour. I've heard the wait stretching up to 2 hours on a very busy day / vacations / holidays . But, WAIT however long it takes. We ordered the garlic butter prawns. Those are deliciousssss. You'd see most of the tables ordering that. The crabs, scarlet prawns were up next and my word, it was a delight to have it. This place specialises in seafood and special is what they serve. It was so fresh and well cooked. If you're in Lisbon, be sure to hit this place up. Must Visit. read more

On the one hand the seafood here is, in fact, pretty good. However, this place has become a bit overhyped (starting with its appearance on Anthony Bourdain's show in 2012, and escalating ever since), and because of that, I'm sure it is far more expensive and more stressful than the experience Bourdain got when he came. Exhibit A: We had to wait in line for over 30 minutes, even though we showed up very early (shortly after they opened at noon.) This was on a Tuesday. Exhibit B: It is difficult to comprehend how to order things here... they have an interactive menu in multiple languages on ipads, but it just shows what the raw seafoods are and the price per kg, not how they are prepared or anything. Not straightforward, kind of difficult and stressful to deal with. Exhibit C: Let's talk about the prices... over 100 euro per kg for items like lobster or scarlet shrimp. (Other items like tiger prawns are "only" about 70 euros/kg) For those of you dealing with American dollars and measurement systems, let me translate: this is $50+ per pound! NOT cheap! (The pot of clams is reasonably priced, though, and very good. The garlic prawns, however, were way too firm/overcooked, and cost more than they would in expensive California!) read more

Fresh fresh Seafood After watching Anthony Bourdains "No Reservations" we knew we had to come for dinner here. It was was also recommended by our local host. It was a weekday, but there still was quite a line outside. Luckily moving quickly, so we got a table just about under 30mins. Inside it was as busy as outside. But the whole atmosphere is still nice, very casual and laid-back with a local flavour (even though it's so popular). The menu is huge and most items are priced by weight. We ordered a plate of shrimps, some crabs and a bowl of clams. Some beer (cheap) and garlic bread with. All the seafood tasted amazingly fresh, a feast for eyes and palate. Shrimps were swimming in butter (I'm not complaining) and if you like it more spicy, there's Piri Piri Sauce on every table. Crab has a good size (for the price) and the clams were nicely prepared in a simple, but good broth. Very clean, no sand. Service was fine, of course very busy. Prices here are fair, it's really oh so fresh and you won't pay more (even less) than in other Seafood Restaurants, but this is not a tourist trap but the real deal. Even after getting more famous (at least for tourists), this place is still serving fantastic quality. Simple, but great and fresh seafood. A must-do! read more

We headed to the legendary Ramiro's in Lisbon for a night of seafood and drinks. PROTIP1: barge through the crowd and grab a ticket from the computer. Don't wait there like a tool. The wait for a table can be quite long and the anticipation is akin to winning the lottery. PROTIP2: while waiting for a table, buy a beer token and down a couple while munching on some bread. Just save some room for what's coming. After we were seated on a communal table. Expect fast, efficient service with zero bells and whistles. These servers are focused on speed. Food recommendations: EDIBLE CRAB. SCARLET PRAWNS (don't let the price tag scare you. It's worth it). GINHINJA. LIME SORBET (has a shot of vodka) - our Brazilian tablemate highly recommended a steak sandwich for dessert. We had no room. "MEH" / "IT ALRIGHT" food: razor clams in garlic sauce (pedestrian), giant tiger prawns (rubbery, lacked flavour- very meh). Overall, fun atmosphere, it's a Lisbon establishment that you should visit if you enjoy seafood and food history. Not everything is great, but what IS great is truly epic. read more

I watched Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix and I saw the huge amounts of Food being served at Cervejaria Ramiro and decided to try it. The wait time was horrible for dinner, there was a nice beggar outside that told me come for lunch there's no queuing system and less busy, try your luck with that advice. We waited almost 2 hour outside as we waited to hear our number called, one by one people's number get called randomly in their chosen language and the excitement takes over when you finally get called- I guess it's more of an experience. People clap and move to their into the restaurant. 8256 is called- boom that's us, I told my wife. We went in and got a small table near the stairs to go up. Waiter comes by with a shattered tablet to show us the menu- we look through it and decided what we wanted so we ordered- edible crap, 1/2 kilo of Giant Tiger Prawns and Bread and Butter. The edible crab was ok, I scooped it into my buttered bread to give it some flavor. The Tiger Prawns were next this dish arrived hot, the edible crab was a cold dish. The Tiger Prawns has a lot of great flavor just a bit too salty for my taste. I give 3 starts because of the experience, you want to come here and wait it out- see the excitement, get some beers while you are waiting they have a coin operated beer dispenser- once you're inside enjoy huge portions of ok seafood. Wasn't the best but definitely not the worst. read more

Looking back, this was definitely the best meal we had on our entire trip through Portugal, Morocco, and Spain. We stayed near Barrio Alto and took a lovely, leisurely walk here. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately in the full, bustling restaurant. It was loud and mostly older men, so we three girls stood out like sore thumbs - which really didn't matter to us one bit. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. I don't know if we were just hungry or the bread and butter itself was just simply divine, but we could have easily eaten two orders with our meal. We opted for the oysters (which turned out to be absolutely HUGE), clams, and shrimp which came out still sizzling in garlic and butter. We enjoyed our meal with a lovely bottle of vinho verde (as you should in Lisbon). I want to go back to Portugal just to eat here again! read more

The hype is real. I was very skeptical about this place after reading some negative reviews. But the food totally made my day! We got there right before dinner time so were able to be seated right away. We ordered the edible crab, giant tiger prawns, and clams with garlic. The crab was really good. It was sweet and fresh. The crab back was flavorful, it was even better with the bread! We peeled some of the crab meat off and made a crab sandwich with the meat and crab back butter broth. It was delicious!!! Giant tiger prawns were so good too. It was lightly seasoned with salt and not too dry. Clams with garlic was very refreshing and light. Overall, this is a great meal. If you don't want to wait for hours, go right before dinner to avoid the line. read more

We waited for 2 hours to get in on a Friday night. Thank God they have self service beers for the wait on the patio for 2 Euros.. Well worth the wait. The "edible crab" was spectacular, the crab butter (tamale) served in the shell (don't forget the bread to sop it up) and the rest of the crab cracked perfectly - unbelievably fresh!. The giant tiger shrimp and ther scarlet shrimp are not to be missed, each shrimp eats like a small lobster! The poaching liquid is out of this world because all parts of each massive shrimp just scream delicios! Wow! Wash it all down with a bottle of Alvarainho, and you will have a truly unforgettable meal. They could charge 2x what they do, and it still would be an amazing meal! read more

My Portuguese coworker recommended this place for seafood, so my bf and I went to check it out on a Thursday evening. We went early because we didn't have a reservation, and when we arrived, the restaurant was already filled with diners. Two other couples were already waiting ahead of us, and while we were waiting, a couple more parties showed up and walked right past us to go to the back of the restaurant. We were a bit upset that they jumped the line, but perhaps they had reservations? The wait wasn't too bad, and we were seated at a table in the corner. What I found surprising was that although the line for the restaurant kept growing and growing, they didn't pack in every seat in the house. For instance, at our long table for 6, there were two empty seats between us and the couple next to us. And I noticed the same with some other tables around us. I suppose it was nice that they didn't try to squeeze us all in so we had some personal space, but then that just meant that other potential customers would have to wait longer outside. This place is called a Cervejaria, which I guess means a "beer hall", so it's supposed to be kind of casual. And although the tables were covered with paper, it was kind of classy with the restaurant's name printed on it with nice designs of seafood. And we had cloth napkins with "CR" embroidered on them. Our menu was actually an iPad, which was kind of cool to scroll through in English. I noticed the couple next to us had a regular printed menu instead, but I guess maybe the iPad was the only option for English-speakers? We had no idea how much food to order, so we got the sauteed garlic shrimp, steamed clams, and a whole crab. Along with a mountain of absolutely scrumptious garlic bread and a small glass of beer for each of us, it was a perfect feast for two! :) I was originally going to just get the plain steamed clams because we already got the garlic shrimp... but the waiter recommended the garlic clams instead, saying they were more flavorful. Boy am I glad we went with his suggestion! The clams were perfect and delicious, with only a hint of garlic. We got a bunch of paper napkins and a little mallet to help us with the crab, and it was a lot of work, but totally worth it to free the sweet crab meat from the hard shell. They mixed some crab meat with the egg or something and served it in the crab back shell. Dunno what it was, but it was mushy and tasty and good on bread. Our total bill came out to 53 euros and totally fulfilled all my fresh seafood desires. :) read more
