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

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

Easily the most fun eating experience I had in beautiful Lisboa. Be prepared to wait! There's a little computer at the front so you can check in in your respective language and get a ticket for your number in line. This place is super popular and the queues are long. We showed up at 8 and didn't sit for an hour and a half. No big deal since you can buy bottles of wine from the bar, or beer tokens for the self serving tap in the patio. I don't even know where to begin about the food. We met our lobster friend while he was still alive (they brought him to the table?!), and then proceeded to chow down on the crab (amazing), garlic shrimp, clams, and razor clams while he was being cooked. Everything was very well prepared and absolutely delicious, but that lobster!!!! Omg it was perfect. Be sure to order lots of plates of garlic bread so you can dip all the juices and butters and soak up every last flavor. The line was absolutely worth it. Props Lisboa, props. read more

Best seafood I've ever had after traveling so many places. The crab is amazing, sweet and tender. It makes sense to me now this restaurant charges €75 for reservations read more

This is a tourist spot. The food is good but not spectacular. It's in a good area and it is what you would expect for a tourist hot spot.

This place was so good. Highly recommended for seafood lovers. We ordered the crab, barnacles, garlic shrimp, prawns, and clams. Enjoyed all of it. Get there before 6:30pm or else there is a huge wait. We opted to go at around 5:45pm and only waited 5 minutes. Coming back out at around 7ish the wait was at 1.5 hours. read more

Best seafood we tried during our honeymoon to Portugal and Spain, hands down. We got here around 12ish on a Saturday and were seated immediately. By the time we finished around 2pm, there was a line outside so come early if you can! They bring you a tablet and you can choose what language you want. Then theres pictures, description, and prices by the kilogram (about 2 pounds). We must ordered 100grams of different items so we could try more things. We've never seen so many different seafood options, like barnacles and spiny dye-murex. If you're adventurous, you gotta check out their selection! We had other traditional items like clams, prawn, crawfish, and oysters- all excellent. They also have a house beer on draft that was great. They will put buttery bread on the table and we noticed in Portugal that bread and other items like olives or cheese will be put on your table and normally aren't free like in Spain. So you'll be charged a few bucks for the bread but it was worth it to help eat up the delicious garlic juice from the clams dish. Yum! read more

Casual dining, long lines, and a loud atmosphere. It was so much fun to eat here, watching people eat with their hands and suck the heads of giant prawns. Food: -Buttered bread: no need to say more. -Garlic clams: Absolutely! So much garlic flavor and the perfect amount of salt to enhance the fresh baby clams. They give you tons too! -Barnacles: The people I was with loved these salty, chewy little morsels. To me, it was just a bit too chewy and phallic for my liking. -Crab with the filled crab body: so much fresh crab and then you get the unctuous crab bits in the shell of the body. Top it on some bread and thank me later. -Grilled giant prawns: giant prawns halved, grilled to perfection. Smple and delicious. -Scarlett (Ruby) shrimp: this was the star of the meal! They come to your table and you're just in awe of the beauty of their color and size. The entire huge shrimps were charred with rock salt. You split the shrimp in half, suck the soup from the head, and you'll understand why you should come back to Lisbon just for these. read more

They have a lot of seafood and it is all very good. The only things that aren't seafood are bread, dessert, and wine. The bread and wine were great. The hammers are fun. read more

If you want your mind blown by some incredible seafood then you MUST come here during your trip to Lisbon. I came here around 6:30pm with a group of 4 and we waited about 30 minutes for our table. You grab a number at the automated ticketing system and wait patiently to be seated. There's a huge range of fresh seafood and meat options like veal sandwiches and charcuterie. Our group split the large tiger prawns, langoustines, edible crab, shrimp in garlic, clams, barnacles, and bread. All that with two half bottles of wine came out to about 240 euros without tip. Make sure you tip in cash! The freshly squeezed orange juice is also incredibly refreshing! Service is incredibly fast. This place definitely lives up to the hype and great value for the price tag. read more

What an experience! Be prepared for tons of tourists, streamlined and efficient service, and some wonderfully fresh seafood. We arrived around 6pm on a Sunday and there was already a fairly large crowd. They have a kiosk outside where you enter your party's information and receive a waiting number. There is a ton of seating and even an outdoors beer dispenser. Plenty of people were able to go in and order other drinks while they waited as well. We waited about 40 min total for a table, which was not bad at all! Once you're inside, the service is relatively brusque. You'll be pointed towards an empty table, and (after potentially another short wait) given an iPad where you can select your language to view the menu. They will usually also bring you bread immediately - this is not free, so give it back if you don't want it, but is pretty delicious (and pre-buttered) and goes well with the seafood. Finally, you'll grab a waiter (any waiter! Literally!), order your seafood, and wait for it to arrive. The food comes very quickly, so you won't have to wait long! And that's when the real fun starts... For two people, we ordered 0.5 kg of oysters (came to 4 total), 0.25 kg of prawns (about 10 total), and a spider crab. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Get the spider crab, nearly every table orders it, but you can't seem to go wrong with anything on the menu. Our whole meal came out to just around 50 euros, including half a bottle of wine. Overall, highly recommend! It is definitely a wait, but the tables turn quickly and the food is excellent for reasonable prices. read more

Amazing seafood place with a nice indoor / outdoor covered patio. Great for a nice dinner.

Honestly think there are much better places to eat seafood. They don't take reservations... huge lines. Really not worth it

Amazing seafood with some reasonably priced items (garlic shrimp) and some high end ones. We went at 5p and only waited 15 minutes. The services was fast and efficient. Only had cheese, bread, garlic shrimp and garlic clams since the price point on other things was a bit steep. Definitely worth the trek though and would love to go back with a bigger budget! Also before walking in, there is a ticket machine to the right of the door. Then once the ticket number is called, scan the ticket to enter. It took us a solid few minutes to figure that out. read more

Ehhhh. Gets a lot of hype but really was one of my least favorite dining experiences in Lisbon. I didn't care for the edible crab and didn't like that the shrimp were left so dirty. Waiter had a zero care to make the this experience good. We left disappointed. read more

If you ever get a chance to go Lisbon, Portugal, I highly recommend this seafood restaurant. The price is fair and a bottle of good Portugal wine ranges from 12 to 20 euro. The seafood are very fresh and they sure know how to cook them. The restaurant don't take reservation so go early. On a regular night, it's about 30 to 1 hour wait but once you're in, it's all worth it. Oh... don't forget about the dessert ! read more

A must in Lisboa! Before coming to Portugal, I didn't realize that Lisbon would have one of the best seafood restaurants. This place was packed. When we entered the restaurant it was really busy and a hear a lot of people enjoying their food. You can't help but stare at all the different types of seafood that they don't have in the US & Canada. I had no clue what to order as everything was listed by the price by weight. Our server had suggested a custom menu where you could order their most popular items. Wow! My taste buds are salivating as I type this, just thinking about how delicious everything was. The garlic and the sauces perfectly complimented the fresh seafood. read more

A line out the door, down the street is the least of which that would stop me from eating here again. Very popular which means a wait, but while you do pour yourself a beer from their tap for 2 euro to keep you company. This is a super cool feature that should be everywhere. Garlic shrimp, prawns, tiger prawns, barnacles, crab, clams, and the bread (can't forget the bread!) was phenomenal. Truly an enjoyable space where you may be seated in a semi-private room with locals who show you why Lisbon is such a wonderful place. read more

Location: It's away from the tourist crowds but still walkable from the core - maybe 20 minutes or so. The place: They're spread across two floors and the tables are mostly communal style. They've got a system in place where you are given a number when you show up, and when they've got your spot, hey call it over speakers. TAKE NOTE: they don't take reservations and you WILL wait unless you show up, I'd say, before 7pm. We waited almost two hours, after which I was ready to BBQ the group of people who were next to me. We showed up shortly after 7:30. The goods: Seafood - all seafood! We ordered the garlic shrimp that we loved so much, we had to order a second helping. I mean, give me fresh shrimps dripping in salt and garlic and I'm in heaven. The garlic butter (or oil - I don't know) was so good that we literally wiped our little skillets clean with bread, so that nothing went to waste. Our second option was the huge tiger prawn. It was the biggest shrimp I've ever seen, literally. So good. We also ordered a bottle of white. Service: Good. Price point: I have to say, I expected our bill to be double what it was, so I was throughly surprised when it came out to like, 55€ for the both of us. If you want fresh seafood - check out these guys. You won't be disappointed! read more

I'm pretty sure this was the main reason my husband wanted to come to Lisbon. This place was packed when we arrived but still managed to get seated quickly. Since we don't speak Portuguese, they gave us an iPad with their menu on it so we could read it in English and pick from there. We went with the garlic shrimp, giant prawns and edible crab plus their delicious bread. It was a lot of food. The giant prawns were just that, giant. Two large prawns, sliced in half, grilled and delicious. Garlic shrimp was so good. Great buttery flavor covered in garlic. I dipped the prawns in the garlicy butter sauce as well. The edible crab was good, not my favorite, but my husband definitely enjoyed it. All that with a delicious coke left me extremely full and then still trying to walk around the neighborhood after that was definitely rough. read more

Ramiro came highly recommended for seafood. Lines can be very long, especially at dinner, even though it's a big space. Definitely make a reservation via email if you can. The menu comes on an iPad in different languages. There were a good amount of tourists but also locals. They have lots of green wine options (as well as beer and other wines). Chilled green wine is great with the seafood on a warm day. - Bread and butter: perfect for dipping in the leftover clam sauce and shrimp sauce. - Clams on garlic: tiny clams in butter sauce - Garlic shrimp: sizzling in the pan, with amazing garlic oil; we ended up with 2 of these, and the garlic bits were so great on bread - Giant tiger prawns: quite large, ordered by the kilo, sweet and fresh, simple Unfortunately, they were out of razor clams the day we went. Everything was super fresh. It's definitely worth checking out for seafood! read more

My wife told her friend she was going to "Eat her weight in seafood." Well... This is the place to do it. We first found this place on a couple must-try spots in Lisbon, and then again we saw it when Anthony Bourdain came. Make a reservation, via email, on their website. We did and boy are we glad we did. The line forms quick and gets long. There were many people ready to get in. For the most part, everything is by the kilo, so you have to get carful if you're being budget minded. We got Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Oysters, Scarlet Prawns, the Edible Crab, Barnacles, and a couple plates of bread (which is brought when you first sit down, and refilled as you go), and numerous small glasses of Sagres, oh and of course a Prego for dessert. We spent about 120€. Although the food was good, most of it didn include much preparation, as it was served cold, or just as is. Everything was good though, I think the barnacles are worth trying and pretty tasty too. A little tip we learned... Cover your crab legs with a napkin before you bash it with a hammer... The lady sitting at the adjacent table will not appreciate getting doused in flying crab bits. read more

Authentic food in relaxed surroundings at great price. Waitress extra patient with our Kindergarten Portuguese.

Pro: the best seafood I ever had, The giant prawn is as large as a lobster and with roe, the goose barnicles was really really special as I never had it anywhere else. The crab it was Super Oustanding. The bill came in about 50-60$ per person but I worth every fking penny. If wasn't I didn't stay in Lisbon for long I would go there often The bread was great too! Con: I can't think of any!! read more

Best seafood spot in Lisbon ! A bit of a fast food service type of restaurant, but it's not supposed to be fancy . 10/10

This place was highly recommended to us multiple times. Although the food was good, I didn't feel like it was anything out of the ordinary. They have an established waiting system and bar area since the wait tends to be long. You can order drinks and appetizers while you wait. We waited over an hour before our number got called, but we eventually made it upstairs to our table. The menu is very limited and only contains seafood, with one meat option as a "dessert". There aren't even any vegetables. We ordered a variety of shrimp, clams, and crab. My favorites were the large shrimp and clams. The clams were super flavorful and tender. The shrimp had a great garlic sauce. The crab was essentially flavorless, and I wish we hadn't ordered it. They served us bread topped with melted butter before we even ordered it. Eating the seafood with the bread tasted very good. I soaked up the sauces with the bread. Overall, the food was good but not worth the hype or cost. I've been to other places with just as good seafood for a fraction of the price. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Tiger shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

So very disappointed. Very long wait as expected, along with a few panhandlers as mentioned in other reviews so not surprised there. Extremely smokey waiting area outside but this is Europe. The place was packed and no seating for a bit though things move fast so everything considered you get seated in a reasonable time for the sheer number of people moving through this place. Much of what we experienced was expected as it's been mentioned in previous reviews. Our waiter was fairly disinterested and in a hurry and communication was limited since we have not learned any Portuguese. You are practically elbow to elbow with someone else so be mindful of your plastic mallet. The expectation was no frills, nothing fancy, but good fresh seafood. Sadly I have no idea as to the freshness since everything grilled or baked was overcooked. I mean overcooked so completely that you could hardly get the prawns out of their shells. Too sad as they were a decent size and I was really looking forward to them. The shrimp in butter and garlic were dry and chewy but the dish was great for dipping the fresh bread in. The best item we had were was the steamed crab claws which had pretty decent flavor. Lastly, we had another crab dish that came with two choices, one with "picked" and one without. Our waiter brought the "with picked" out despite trying to point on the ipad and verbally communicate we wanted without. This is the one with a blended "mustard sauce" served in the shell (aka in America as the guts/innards). This choice is not what we ordered and I honestly think he brought it because it does cost more. As someone who loves (and was raised on) crab, I've been exposed to it all my life but I have never found it appealing or inclined to try it. However, since we're in Portugal, this is a new experience so we decided to roll with this rather than try to argue over the dish. We reasoned that this is supposed to be really fresh and since we are reasonably open minded we decided to try it. We tried it using the hot buttered bread that they brought to the table unasked for which they do charge for without mentioning. This was not an issue because we read the previous reviews so it was expected. We wanted to eat and order it anyway. The bread was delicious. Neither my wife nor I became a fan of the guts but can say we tried it in Portugal, thank you but no. The pricing is impossible for my limited calculability to process as it is priced in metric and Euros without having the slightest idea how the portions are calculated. Dinner for two with nothing but the seafood was in the 90 Euro range. So not worth it. Not even close. Cest la vie. It was an experience but surely Lisbon must have better. We can at least say "oh yeah, we've been there. Pass". read more

Highly recommended. Scarlet shrimps are amazing! Juicy and tasty, the brains of shrimps are good with bread. Clams on garlics also my favorite though! If you don't wanna wait in a long queue, better arriving there before 10min or more before opening read more

We were visiting Lisbon from Denver and this place was recommended by both hotel staff and friends of ours. We came here on our first night and were amazed by the variety and quality of the seafood. In Denver we can get fresh seafood as well, but it does not compare to the fresh shellfish we had here. We had spider crab, barnacles, escargot, langoustines (which I had never had before and were fantastic), shrimp, crawfish, you name it. Be sure to time your visit, when you first show up you need to grab a number from the machine by the entrance. We probably waited 90 minutes for our table, and during that time we enjoyed some beer in the waiting area and made new friends from Germany ! We enjoyed our experience so much that we went again a few days later! read more

Worst service ever. We were waiting for 1.5 hours (originally they've told us it would be around 40 minutes) without getting a table. They've always preferred locals and were telling us to "just wait for another 10 minutes". We've ended up 50 meters away, at Barcabela, with delicious fish dishes and a relaxed atmosphere! read more

This is one of the top meals in my life. My friend recommended we come to this place and I had no idea what to expect. We were there right at dinner time and we waited for at least an hour. I would highly recommend you get here a little early to beat the dinner rush, especially if you are super hungry as the line is literally next to the windows and you can see all the patrons in there licking their fingers and enjoying their feasts. Once we got seated, everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we ended up going with the shrimp with garlic and the garlic clams, as we are garlic fanatics. The meal: Now let me tell you, this was one of the best meals I have ever had. I was literally scraping the juices with my bread at the end to prevent ANYTHING from going to waste. Everything about this meal was beyond scrumptious. Upon reflection, I do wish we could have gotten an opportunity to try the grilled king prawns. They looked so good! Maybe next time I go to Lisbon. read more

Maybe because I come from an area that has amazing seafood and seafood restaurants, I could not have been more let down by this experience. I was told this was the best seafood restaurant in Lisbon, but it's nothing more than a tourist spot, with long waits, automated menus and waiters who seem like robots. The food is too simple, has no sides, except bread, which they keep bringing even without asking, and of course they charge you for it. I thought the prawns were too bland, included the heads and shells, so they took some effort to eat, and they were cold. The edible crab was cold, contained guts, and was priced based on weight, but the waiter didn't ask me how much I wanted so of course it was the most expensive thing on the menu. All in all, this $80 meal was overpriced and disappointing. read more
