I found this place after researching where to get good seafood in Lisbon. There are other seafood restaurants on this street, but seriously, this is the only one that was popping. Tip: The line is first come first serve. There's no paper wait list. You just get in line, and they'll seat you when it's you're turn. The bread is delicious but cost €0.90 per. I especially liked eating it with the garlic sauce. We ordered: - Clams w/ garlic sauce: MUST order! The clams were so fresh and the garlic sauce was so good. - King Prawns: Did not meet my expectations, but I was so amazed at how large the prawns were! My family wished that we ordered the shrimps w/ garlic sauce instead, but it was a tough call because we can't get these King Prawns back home. It was still good, but didn't meet our expectations. - Lobster: I normally like crab a lot more than lobster, but this has got to be the BEST lobster I've ever had in my life. It was so fresh and tender. Not too chewy and difficult to eat like other lobsters I've had. The lobster was also HUGE and it was so difficult to finish amongst the 3 of us. This restaurant has legit seafood. They even have tanks that show what they have so you know that it's fresh. They showed us the live lobster before they cooked it, which is sad and also scary, but that's how you know it's legit. read more

Totally a fan! My colleague recommended this, and the place did not disappoint. Sure the atmosphere is not the best, but who cares? You are here to eat! I'm mostly vegetarian, but once in a while I will eat fish or other seafood delicacies. We ordered the shrimp with garlic, and garlic clams with cilantro. Delish! You can't go wrong with that! The portion were perfect, and they come with buttered bread. I normally don't order wine, but I did with my dinner. #Perfect! I didn't realize Anthony Bourdain recommended this place. I don't pay attention to those TV personalities that recommend places, but Anthony was totally spot on. This place rocks! read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Clams with garlic - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Seafood is quite fresh and very well prepared. The place is always busy, as would be expected in a great place like this. Most of the time there is a long line, we caught it right as it opened to avoid the line but the place was full in no time. It is in the pricier side compared to other places but well worth it. The only negative in our experience I'd that we ordered the "edible crash6 without peel" to try it out, and towards the end of our meal we were told it would take half an hour more to prepare, so we skipped it and we were offered a cold crab dish as replacement, which didn't measure up to what we were expecting, and we saw plenty other tables that arrived after us get served the dish so I don't know what that was all about. Regardless it was not enough to really ruin our dinner. read more

I'm super disappointed in this place. My first stop in Lisbon was a seafood place (but of course, this is what I do when I travel- go eat seafood). We waited patiently, luckily was able to nab a small bottle of vinho to occupy ourselves amongst the large crowd. Bonus points for having a tap for Sagres beer outside too. They must know people need this... Anyway, let's get down to it. It's expensive. It's pretty much a seafood only menu. One would THINK it would be amazing, but our meal was so far from it. Our expensive lobster was way overcooked and albeit, rubbery. How do you ruin lobster when you're a seafood only restaurant!?! It was an utter catastrophe. Also, the shrimp were overcooked, and you guessed it, rubbery and very difficult to peel. Based on this experience I would say skip it and spend your euros elsewhere. It shouldn't be hard to cook everything well when this is all you cook, but I think this is the place where all seafood literally goes to die in a very bad way. read more

Fantastic place! As others have said, the restaurant doesn't take reservations but the line does move fairly quickly. We were able to get a seat upstairs but the place is so big that it was confusing as to where we were going to sit. The owner (?) at the bar told us to go upstairs and that was about it, so when we got upstairs we had no idea where to go. Fortunately the waiters were kind enough to seat us but I got the sense they didn't know we were coming. The bread is amazing, the garlic shrimp is to die for, and the tiger prawns - OH MAN. One tiger prawn can easily be split between two people and for 20 EUR per prawn it's more than enough - don't let them upsell you on more than one. The clams are just OK, but the shrimp, tiger prawns, and bread is enough to fill two people up for lunch. The experience overall is a bit chaotic but the food is worth it. Also it's worth noting that they do allow smoking in the upstairs, in an area near the bathrooms. Fortunately we were seated very far away from the area so if you are sensitive to smoke like me, you'll want to sit far away. read more

I´ve actually eaten here twice so I can personally atest to the consistency of the high quality and service of Ramiro. The first time I went, I was brought there by an Angolan friend in the area who had lived in Lisbon much longer than me. And to our surprise it was closed! Yes, to all the Americans out there, many successful restaurants in Iberia close for upwards of 1-2 months during the summer, so please plan accordingly! Luckily, the second, and third time I went before they closed. The first time with a small group of friends and the second time with my whole extended family. They are used to lots of people, so it really didn´t make a difference. Quick advice, the crowds are only getting worse and larger. Get there before you want to eat as the wait is usually around an hour. Then, go to the front, get a ticket in your language and wait for your number to be called. If you are starving, you can go to the front bar get a beer and some presunto (ham). Anyway, the food quality is amazing. They only focus on shellfish and they have so many varieties that are very hard to find in the United States. Always prepared simply either boiled or grilled with garlic oil and maybe some parsley, this is just fantastic food and the´ve been cooking it this way for years to really bring out the flavor of the product. It comes out pretty fast too and they usually show you the live crab or lobster before cooking it. This truly is probably the best shellfish, I´ve had in Portugal. I think what separates it from many other fine and good seafood establishments it that the large number of clients forces the reastaurant to constantly be demanding and bringing in new live catch, so the product is always fresh and never old. Furthermore, the staff have pride in what they do and have ample experience. The only thing that I might add is that this is a more special occasion restaurant. As previous people have stated, the prices aren´t super cheap, especially by Portuguese standards. However, when I went the Euro had taken a dive so it actually was only moderate. Lastly, the menu comes out in ipad form with pictures and your prefered language. I almost laughed because I swear either some of these translations are off or we just don´t have a good name for some of these species. What is the difference between an "edible crab" and a "swimming crab"? Anyway, I had no idea, so we just asked the waiter and it was still amazing. Do yourself a favor and if you´re only in Lisbon for a short time, go here though. read more

My husband and I came here because we saw Anthony Bourdain come here to devour some awesome seafood on television. And man did this place not disappoint! We took the subway here and got a little lost, but with some directions from the kind Portuguese folks we found it. The area is a little shady but everyone was friendly and we had no problems. No one really speaks much English here (at least our waiter didn't). We were given a iPad as an interactive menu and they have a menu in English. There is every seafood and different kinds of crabs and crustaceans available here. We ordered shrimp, crab, clams and beer. It comes with tasty bread and they charge by the pound. Everything cost about $60.00 US dollars with beer. We were stuffed and content. It's super crowded so I advise to go early. I'd definitely hit this place up again if I come back to Lisbon. read more

Came here due to the outstanding reviews and was not disappointed. Seriously the best seafood I've ever had. Getting in was a little bit hectic as there was a decent line when we got there (around 7:15) which only got longer as the dinner rush continued. It was a bit confusing and unorganized as people with reservations were pushing through the people just waiting for a table, and we ended up getting cut in line by a Turkish couple, after asserting that we were ahead of them! Which was frustrating, however, karma will prevail. When we were seated, things picked right up. Our waiter was extremely fast, efficient, and friendly. He brought us the menu on an iPad and bread immediately. We ordered wine, garlic shrimp, tiger prawns, and "edible" crab. The garlic shrimp was brought out in minutes, bubbling and steaming. Delicious, garlicky, and perfect for dipping bread into. Then we got the crab, which is served in heaping piles with the shell serving as a bowl for a dip made with the crab innards and who knows what else (but who cares). Also amazing. But the real star, I think, was the tiger prawns. Huge prawns that tasted like lobster but way more meaty and flavorful. Buttery deliciousness. You have to come here if you're in lisbon! read more

Let me preface by saying a lot of exposure and stardom has turned this amazing place into a tourist trap...but DO NOT be discouraged....put the effort in and you will not regret it. Even though the wait can be long and it's very touristy, Ramiro has stayed true to what it does best, SEAFOOD. You can't hold it against them that they do it very very well and they can't pick and choose their patrons like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. Here's my tips and experience: THEY ARE CLOSED MONDAYS! The whole experience from start to finish was exemplary. Going in you have to expect to wait to be seated, the place is always packed and busy. Once you embrace the fact that you will wait, enjoy the experience. Nice outdoor seating and wait area is a bonus...but as you wait you will get a feel for the name of the game here going in inside.....speed is key! Ramiro's staff is fast and efficient and you will be amazed once you get in that you only waited as long as you did. The restaurant is ALWAYS buzzing! And some advice....the bigger your party, longer the wait. Do not wear fancy clothes, this is a ten finger workout meal. Lastly this isn't a candle light intimate dinner in the Alfama....it's loud, busy and you may be seated by new friends you just met. Ok, now the food....oh the FOOD! I am fortunate to live by an ocean and am a pretty avid fisherman and love seafood. This place was nirvana. Again, the name of the game is speed....look over your menu and realize that ordering seconds will be difficult for you and your waiter, because they will be running around, so order any and everything you may think you want at once. It's better to have it all laid out at once and so many plates compliment each other so amazingly. I strongly recommend their edible crab dish (you have to try this), the giant tiger shrimp, the garlic butter clams (such amazing flavor) and the grilled tiger shrimp dish! The lobster and oysters are solid, but don't be fooled by the exotic...stick to what they do best in their signature dishes! And their prices are very reasonable compared to seafood prices in the states. And they have dishes for the non-seafood person....but c'mon...really!!?! That's like ordering a salad in a BBQ joint! All in all, this could be life changing for you! Enjoy it! Give yourself sometime to get in, but once your in....go! Get every finger sore digging out and dining on all the seafood glory they have to offer! You will not regret the wait, you might make some new friends with people you meet at your table, and enjoy the amazing flavors and experience of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Lisbon. read more

We went to Cervejaria Ramiro around four o'clock in the afternoon beginning of the week as to avoid line ups and crowds. The restaurant was happily quiet, only few tables occupied and few locals drinking beer at the bar. The menu was delivered immediately on iPad with pictures and translation in multiple languages for the crazy tourists who like to invade the restaurant. We didn't get to review the drinks menu, white wine?, here it is, bottle of local crispy fresh white appeared on the table quickly. Yes, the service in the cervejaria is done with character and love for the final product. The sea food is just amazing. We had simple choices ordered by preference and rated with stars: ****** Clams with butter and garlic. Ended up ordering those twice as they are excellent, excellent, excellent! ****** Garlic butter bread is a must. You can eat it as it is or dump it in the clams sauce. ****** Canhila, kind of conch sea creature, as smaller as yummier, but the bigger species are perfect too. ***** Barnacles of great qaulity. Five stars as they are simply not my thing. There is certainly more on the menu I hope to try when I'm back in beautiful Lisbon. Loved it! read more

Had open crab and tiger prawn tonight. Crab served cold with minced crabmeat, crag eggs. Nicely done. Appears no added sauce or extras. Completely all crab snd delicious. The prawn were perfectly sautéed and grilled. Ate this will buttered toasted bread. Very good combination. Amount served were just about right. Quality food and decent presented, though that is secondary. Atmosphere was ok since it was very busy. Waiter did a good job keeping us fed. Appears majority were locals tonight. Saw very few obvious tourist like us. Great place to taste good seafood. read more

I try to avoid touristy places while on vaca but this was one we decided to try. Wow, was it worth it. We got there right at 12pm - no line. By the time left an hour later - huge line. The earlier you go the better for sure. We got the edible crab and the giant tiger prawns. I'm still dreaming about those prawns. Great place for lunch in Lisbon. Go if you have the chance! read more

Likes: - Lively atmosphere with a huge selection of fresh seafood. We sat on the second floor and was glad the restaurant had AC. - Accepts reservations via email. This is a must or expect wait times of 1-2 hours during the dinner rush. - Order the edible crab, the tomalley mix is out of this world delicious! - Bread was warm, crunchy and buttered sparingly. Not a fan of: - Ridiculous lines if you do not have a reservation. Although I enjoyed the meal, I wouldn't wait 1-2 hours for it. - Some seafood was overcooked and slightly over-seasoned. After watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Somebody Feed Phil, and reading through a few travel blogs, I was convinced that Ramiro is a must visit. I was really glad to find out that Ramiro accepted reservations through email, so that easily saved us 1-2 hours. There were about 60-80 people waiting outside of the restaurant when we arrived at around 7pm on a Tuesday night and the lines continued as we left the restaurant at around 9pm. For those who don't have a reservation, the restaurant has a ticketing system by the entrance. You enter the number of people in your party, and the system will generate a ticket where you wait until your number is called. As a party of 6, we had much more capacity to order a greater variety of seafood. The menu is on an iPad, although you are not able to place your order through it. I can't recall exactly, but I don't think the menu indicates how all seafood items are cooked. I didn't mind that too much, the chef can surprise me and serve it the way they see fit. Our server came back to take our orders, and I find that generally they recommend more food than you really need. So be specific on how much you want. We had the razor clams and clams (around 11 euros per serving), in which both were cooked in a butter garlic sauce. These were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavourful, yet not too heavy. We ended up ordering another round of these items. The shrimp and garlic was around 11 euros per serving, but they were a bit overcooked and nothing memorable. We also ordered the edible crab (around 21 euros per kg and 60 euros for the full crab). The crab meat and tomalley mix in the shell was the highlight for the evening. The combination of the sweet and fresh crab meat along with the creaminess and rich flavours of the tomalley were heavenly. I kept dipping the warm, perfectly toasted bread into the mix. It was an irresistible combo. The gooseneck barnacles were served cold (around 55 euros per kg), and it was probably our least favourite dish for the night. The texture was similar to clams, but the barnacles had more of a bounce and chew to it. The flesh had a strong sea water taste, but I missed the sweetness I would expect to find in most seafood, especially when cooked with such simplicity. I will be honest, they did not look too appetizing either! We finished off the meal with the grilled giant tiger prawns (around 65 euros per kg). The prawns are served in halves, and they are quite meaty, so we ordered 3 between the 6 of us. Unfortunately, they were slightly overcooked and parts of it was overseasoned. However, I could still taste the sweetness of the shrimp, which was a clear indicator of how fresh it was. Overall, I enjoyed the experience at Ramiro. The restaurant was packed and lively, with efficient and friendly service. The seafood was really fresh and the bread was delicious. Our bill came out to around 200 euros with tip, which was very reasonable. I think they balanced out the menu well with some good value items, such as clams and razor clams, and pricey items, such as the giant tiger prawn shrimp and crab. The whole crab was around $90 CAD, which isn't cheap, but it was well worth it. And if you want to do it true Portuguese style, order the steak sandwich as a dessert! read more

Ok so go early if you can. The machine will pop out what seems like a random number that I think is based on the language you selected. There is a little beer machine outside because if you were like us the wait was about 40 min. That being said - the clams in garlic were fantastic, the tiger prawns are out of this world, and the shrimp was also delicious served with toasted bread. Get a bottle of vinho verde and settle in - enjoy yourself. The seafood is incredibly fresh and while it is touristy it is still worth it. read more

A memorable meal in all sorts of ways. I got lucky and only had to wait in line for maybe 30 minutes (2 pm on Tuesday). Apparently people wait more than an hour for food here on the regular. Service was rushed but adequate considering they were super busy. For anyone wondering, this is not a first date spot. The atmosphere consisted of flourescent lighting, waiters barking at each other behind the counter, people staring at you and drooling while they are standing and waiting at the entrance way, the phone ringing nonstop (oh yeah....They clearly don't pick up the phone. I was there for an hour and half. No one ever picked it up. It became almost ambient music after a while), and last but not least, an aggressive beggar outside with perfect English to whine at you when you don't give him money. I accidentally ate more than $60 USD of seafood...by my fataas self. Let's just say my five snails and two giant tiger prawns weighed more than I had expected. My favorite item however were the small order of razor clams in garlic olive oil broth of some sort. That was truly mouth watering. Prices are astronomical for Lisbon where you can order prawns in garlic olive for often less than 15 euros. In fact I question whether I can get the same three items I ordered for a much nicer atmosphere for not much more money back in California. They are definitely fully reaping the benefit of Bourdain (RIP) fame. Was the meal spectacular? No, and definitely not worth waiting two hours of your vacation time for. Fast forward ten hours, I spent the wee hours of my last vacation day morning in the bathroom. Considering all I ate for breakfast was bread and coffee and I only had a soup for dinner two hours prior, there is a pretty darn high likelihood that I got sick off the seafood. But I'm reserving three stars just for my slither of doubt. Basically to summarize, don't be a dumbass and wait more than two hours for seafood you can get at any coastal city in America. Oh, bread (and sometimes ones that come with olives) ain't free anywhere in Portugal. You have to decline it if you don't want it and check your bill if you do decline. read more

The food is 10/10. The service is 6.5/10. The setting and environment is 6.5. It's a nice place, but chairs are very close to the each other. Cleanliness 8/10. The wait outside is long. Would I go again, yes! Should you go? Yes. There is a homeless guy, very smart - he's American. He will help you with getting your number sorted for the line. Be nice and tip him! read more

I'm not sure this one is worth the hassle. read more

Really people? I came visit at lunch time just to avoid the crowd at night and I was right, if i had waited so long for this quality of food i would be very very upset. Im not saying that they are horrible, but in my opinion quite pricey for what you get. Garlic shrimps was okay, not outstanding. Clams in garlic sauce was bland. Bread and crab was good combination. They served the crab almost right after they took the order and the crab was cold, is it supposed to be like that? Anyway we were starving so we started eating. For some reason i just have a feeling that their seafood is quite dirty compare to other restaurants i've been to in Lisbon. And my friend had bellyache the day after and she since then had to take medicines before meal for the rest of our journey. I would not come back, the end. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

This place has the worst service that we've experienced while in Lisbon. Thought we try it since it's highly rated. First of all, forget it if you don't speak the language. The waiters were absolutely rude, condescending, and lack of basic service. They absolutely hate their job from the way they treat people. We've been to a couple of other restaurants before this and had amazing food and service. When we came to this place, they gave the wrong password for the wifi so we could order. When we tried to ask for the correct password, they made us look dumb. Fortunately, a nice couple from Belgium who sat next to us gave us the correct password. The seafood was average (nothing to brag about) and pricey for Lisbon. I would go to many more great seafood restaurants in Lisbon with better food and shorter wait, and prices (Solar 31, etc.). Even with better service, I would still give this place 2 stars because the food just really average. read more

This place was by far the most amazing and memorable restaurant we went to in Lisbon! It's kind of removed from other tourist destinations/close to Chinatown so you have to plan to fit this into your trip. We started with the goose barnacles. I can honestly say I've never had anything like it. Each bite felt like a pop of sea salt. It was a great beginning to a seafood feast. Next we had clams in garlic, which were amazing. The best part of the dish was the garlicky, buttery broth it came in, which we dipped out bread into. Next, we had the giant prawns, which were among the most memorable seafood dishes I've ever had!! They were GIANT, I didn't know prawns could get that big. They were incredibly tender, meaty, fresh, and buttery. They were so good we ended up ordering more. We finished the meal with prego, or steak sandwich. I usually am not a steak person but the steak was wonderfully flavorful and tender and was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. We washed our food down with huge glasses of beer. My only complaint was that we came on a weekday at 4 pm and still ended up waiting about an hour and a half, but I guess that's to be expected when visiting a restaurant as amazing as this one! read more

This was my favourite meal in Lisbon. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes seafood. My party of 4 came at around 3pm and there was a still a line but the wait was quick. When we left at around 5, the line was significantly longer so I would recommend coming here early. My table ordered the following: 1/2 kg Oysters 1 whole Edible Crab 1 unit Clams 1 unit Razor Clams 1/4 kg of Barnacles 1/2 kg of Giant Tiger Prawns Cheese Buttered Bread x2 The highlights of the meal for me were the edible crab, razor clams and giant tiger prawns. I would recommend trying the barnacles​ as well since it's not something that's easily accessible in North America. Note: This place is not vegetarian-friendly​, aside from bread and cheese, there's not much other options. read more

We arrived at Ramiro on a rainy Saturday night to a large crowd of people queuing for a table at this well known seafood restaurant popular with both locals and tourists. Fortunately for us a friend had booked a table two months earlier immediately after having booked our flights so we were able to walk straight inside to the front of the queue. Ramiro is located in a run down neighbourhood within walking distance of hotel mundial, it is not an area that I would stand outside in the rain to wait around for a table although I have a general policy of not dining at restaurants that do not take reservations as I don't tend to queue for food regardless of how amazing it's supposed to be. We were seated on the 1st floor which was more comfortable and less hectic than the crowded ground floor dining area. The menu on a tablet in multiple languages was easy to navigate listing various seafood with prices in kg or per portion. To start we had the steamed clams in garlic. I had read other reviews which mention that this is an unmissable dish! Despite the reviews the clams proved to be quite disappointing, the sauce tasted mildly of garlic and was not even warm. Luckily the clams were the only let down of the meal. Other dishes we ordered included: Scarlet prawns - these were served simply with salt and garlic seasoning, at €79.75/kg they were the priciest seafood we ordered but worth the cost Garlic shrimps €10.82 - were very garlicky and salty but nevertheless enjoyable. This was brought still sizzling hot to the table and was a generous portion, they are quite addictive so we could have easily finished another portion but we had already ordered other seafood! Rock Lobster €68.25/kg - recommended by the waiter was an excellent choice, the lobster tasted so fresh, juicy and meaty unlike the tiny shrimp size lobsters that are served at a well known London chain restaurant. The lobster was brought to our table before cooking and was in a very lively condition Barnacles €54.08/kg - I was curious to try this alien looking feet like creature of the sea so we ordered a very small portion. The waiter showed us how to remove the outer layer, once the hideous looking tough algae covered skin is pulled off the white flesh is revealed. I would liken the edible part of the barnacles to taste and look similar to razor clams so they actually taste much better than they initially look!! Ramiro is highly recommended for their fresh seafood but they are also well known for their steak roll. People order the steak roll for 'dessert'. I forgot to order this so will need to return one day, but not anytime soon as there are many other cities to visit before I return to Lisbon yet again! Our meal including drinks was €60 per head, very good value considering the quantity and freshness of the seafood we consumed. Actually incredibly cheap compared to the tiny shrimp size lobsters that are served in London! read more

This is rated extremely high on yelp for a reason. If you like seafood, this is the place for you. It's extremely popular so would recommend getting there no later than 8:00 if you don't want more than a 30 minute wait. We got the clams, garlic shrimp, buttered bread, and edible crab. Our favorite dish by far were the clams. The sauce OMG was amazing! It was garlicy and buttery and you could dip all of the bread in that sauce and call it a day that sauce is EVERYTHING. The garlic shrimp was also amazing. It's sautéed in oil and a lot of crispy garlic which was delicious. The edible crab was interesting but also comes with crab legs and other crab pieces that are massive and so fresh. This is a must go if you're in Lisbon. read more

This an extraordinary place. First of all the only food you can get is seafood. There are no side dishes like fries or vegetables. People come here to enjoy seafood. We started with oysters and they were of good quality. They were served on room temperature which surprised me as you normally get them on ice. A small bottle of Tabasco and lemon was all that presented with the oysters. After that we had the clams with garlic and coriander and it was excellent. A very fine taste. Then we were served grilled tiger prawns. The prawns were sliced in half and marinated with olive oil and chili. These were the best I have ever eaten. The room was packed and large groups were coming in and directed to the upper floor. I was glad to have made the reservation early in advance. When we left there were about 20 people waiting outside to get in. Prices are ok and the service was good. read more

Don't come here alone. They will forget your order, and your existence. I ordered the edible crab, razor clams, beer and bread with butter. The crab and beer came. 40 minutes later, waiter comes back to tell me they ran out of razor clams. Fine, so I ordered some shrimp. Yes, he heard me, he was looking me straight in the eye. Finished my crab - no shrimp or bread came. Crab was good. Everyone else got their orders plus even some freebies. In the beginning, I asked if I could order smaller portions other than the weight listed on the menu because I was alone. Waiter said no. Table next to me, using the exact same American English, asks if he can get smaller portion and is allowed to. They were a table of 2. Tired of waiting so I left. My review doesn't matter because people will flock here anyways but just had to put it out there because I'm still fkkn hungry. read more

Hard to live up to this kind of hype but our expectations were exceeded! Line turned some people off as they would pull up in cabs, see the mass of people out front and leave. Big mistake! This is one of those "memorable for life" type meals. My friend and I arrived at 7:30. Got a ticket for a party of 4. Told our wives to meet us in about an hour as no need for them to wait in line. This was a bucket list dinner I had lobbied hard for so I was willing to be the one waiting. So with a pocketful of $2e coins I had 3 ice cold draft beers from the machine while we talked to others waiting. Also watched Sporting's game on the big TV's. People actually cheered when their #'s were called. Took about an hour and a half. Service was FAST. These guys are pros and race back and forth to the kitchen. Big basket of bread. Edible crab. Clams. Huge tiger prawns, lobster. Then 2 more tiger prawns. They brought a complimentary drink after the meal. Everything was fantastic. They show you the live lobster at the table and have massive tanks of fresh shellfish. Meal of a lifetime. If you're in Lisbon it's a must. read more

When I arrived at the restaurant and saw the line outside, I knew I had made the right decision. If you are a shellfish lover, this is your place. You will find a live lobster tank and probably the biggest shrimp you have ever seen, "the tiger". The place is very unassuming and cosy. The waiters dash across the floor bringing your food and drinks as if you're about to catch a plane. My wife and I ordered lobster, tiger shrimp and oysters. The two tiger shrimp came first, split in half, grilled and with a light butter sauce. Difficult to explain the taste but it is almost a cross breed between shrimp and lobster but less expensive. We ended up ordering a third one. When the oysters came I was impressed with its huge size but not with the taste. It might have something to do with the fact that it is summer time in Portugal. Since I am an oyster lover, I finished them all anyway. They do not offer any sauces or horseradish, just lemon. Then the waiter brought the lobster, which he had shown us previously (live) and told us its weight (900 grams or a little less than two pounds) for a final confirmation before grilling it to perfection, also with a butter sauce. Absolutely fantastic! One last thing: don't expect any side dishes (starch or veggies). The only starch you will have is a basket of toasted bread with butter (delicious). I did not miss them... As for the price, I will tell you the check and you make your own conclusions. In addition to the food, we had half a bottle of "vinho verde casal Garcia" and eight small glasses of draft beer or "Imperial" as they call it. Total: US$ 178. One recommendation to the restaurant owner: PLEASE serve beer to the ones waiting in line!!! PS: if you don't speak the local language, no worries... They will bring you an iPad with pictures and you just point at what you want. read more

Seafood was so fresh and good! We ordered garlic clams, peeled crabs, giant prawns, lagostins, and buttered (toasted) bread. All dishes were so flavorful and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place and is worth a visit. We came around the time when the restaurant opened to avoid the lines. read more
