This restaurant is well known for their seafood and gets very crowded. I arrived early so got seated immediately. The menu is on a multilingual tablet, with pictures and description, really convenient. The orders are served quickly and all wonderfully delicious. However, as the restaurant gets filled, service become very chaotic and I had a hard time to get my bill, which can get expensive. Great if you have time, but otherwise there are certainly other great seafood restaurants, which may also offer vegetables on their menu. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Half bread, delicious clams, barnacles, jumbo shrimp. - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

It's been a year at least since I last visited this place and I still have dreams about it. Ramiro's you've ruined my seafood palette and I hate it. I often contemplated buying a one way ticket, fly out to Lisboa, camp out by your front door and just feast on everything you serve, EVERYDAY. Whoever is reading this, if you don't think you will be back here in the next week or two, please eat like you've been starved your entire life. Eat until you have to be carried out by a stretcher and end up in a coma. And when you have finally awaken from this coma, head right back to Ramiro's and repeat. There is a constant lineup day or night but it's well worth it. I am not even going to describe the food because it does not need any.. Just go here and eat, eat, eat and repeat. One of the best places I have ever eaten in my life. read more

My bff is obsessed with Anthony Bourdain. So, it's only fitting that we hit up the one place I know of him visiting. I knew that we were in for a wait once I saw the reviews but the foodie gods have been on our side this trip and we didn't have to wait in one place. We were seated right away and quickly scoped the menu. Simple and upfront. Nothing too extravagant about it. We got the crab, garlic shrimp, bread and beer. Lots of it. The server brought everything out and it was a feast! Oh and did I mention the mallet? Yes, a mallet. How else are you supposed to get to all the delicious crab meat? There is nothing really more satisfying then beating the hell out of the crab, only to be rewarded with the best crab meat you could ever have. Sapatiera ---have you had it? It's all the crab innards that most people balk at but is divine when you have it. Yup, it wasn't just the crab meat them at rocked my world..it was all the innards and guts mixed with mayo and goodies to make a money dip. We kept the meal pretty simple. If we had only eaten at Ramiros this entire trip, we wouldn't have one complaint. Even though we didn't wait, we would've waited time and time, again. The couple next to us were visiting from Australia and mentioned that they had eaten there three nights in a row. That has to say something. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

I know this is an extremely popular Yelpers-in-Lisbon place to review. With good reason. I'm about to say that it felt very "local" but clearly the secret is out...Yelper take-over of Cervejaria Ramiro! As many reviewers before me state...go during an off-time or else you will, guaranteed, be lining up. We went around 4 in the afternoon and got a table right away. And were promptly delivered iPads from which to order. THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE? Kinda, but also: jarring, because Cervejaria Ramiro feels anything but modern. In fact it feels...perfectly old-timey. Tanks of crab and other seafood. Waiters in formal garb. Traditional decor. The shrimp with garlic was easily my favourite of the whole trip (and it was my go-to dish to order). They came *sizzling*, and paired _perfectly_ with the toasted buttered bread we got as a side. PAUSE/OMG SALIVATING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT/ We also got mini clams which came swimming in their own delicious juices and some parsley. The jumbo prawns were not sold by the plate but by unit; 2 (i.e., 4 halves, as they are served split) for 30ish euro which we decided against because, well #COST. Other options were conch and goose barnacles and some things that I'd never seen before. Service was efficient, and what we had was YUMYUMYUMCAPPPPPSSSSSS. I would go back in an instant. A nanosecond, even. Yelp note: there are vegetarian options (kinda)...a cheese plate, for instance. But if you don't like seafood, well...this probably ain't the place for you. read more

The food was definitely delicious and the value was great. Dinner for six with two bottles of wine came out to about $20. The garlic shrimp, giant prawns, clams and oysters were fantastic. The service was spotty but our waiter was jovial and very accommodating. The restaurant has several rooms and floors, and the downstairs is cramped. The overall experience wasn't amazing, and it is overhyped, but still very good and worth the visit. Call a day or two ahead to make a reservation, because the walk in line gets ridiculously long, and ask for a table upstairs as you'll have more room. 4 for food, 4 for service, 3 for ambiance, 4 for value read more

Found this by Internet reviews on yelp and eater. We arrived at 1pm for lunch and already a line had formed. We waited less than 10 minutes and we were seated at their upstairs dining room. The upstairs seemed more touristy than the main floor. Despite that the service and food was incredible! We ordered barnacles (my first), garlic shrimp, and two types of giant prawns. Each of these had a unique process to consume and our good natured waiter was helpful without being intrusive. He promptly refilled drinks and warned us he would continue until we said stop. We left the residual and happy!! read more

Yes got caught in the Anthony Bourdain trap but glad we did. We ordered a variety of items including the jamon and the rock lobster which were excellent, but I can't say enough about the clams. Hands down the best clams I've ever had - and I've searched. Great place for lunch or dinner - not fancy, just a casual place for some great food. Careful though - it's easy to eat way too much here. read more

This is a truly unique and fantastic experience. Fabulous food and beer. 100% worth the wait.

If I only get to do ONE thing in Portugal, it is to eat at Ramiro. The quality of seafood is world class. You will probably see nicer castles and European buildings in other European cities and countries, but you will not get such quality seafood easily. We loved everything we ordered and we ordered a lot family style. The absolute highlights are the tiger prawns, scarlet prawns, and lobster. We also thoroughly enjoyed prawns with garlic and clams. You can't go wrong with anything. Eating at Ramiro was one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal and Spain. Can't recommend enough. read more

Well... they've a good variety of seafood. And yes a lot of Gourmet VIPs have been there. In my opinion it's totally overrated and overcrowded. Massive people there. The food was okay, but not worth it. Rather go to an authentic portuguese restaurant and enjoy the food and the taste. read more

A google search of Lisbon's top eateries turned me on to the place affectionately known as the "Seafood Temple," and we made the trip to worship at its altar one Friday evening. We arrived relatively early - around 7:00 PM - and the line was already out the door. The place seemed popular with both tourists and locals alike. We ended up waiting around 40 minutes before we were led in. The interior is deceptively large, with a medium-sized seating area on the first floor and flow-over space upstairs, which is where we settled in. The menu is quite simple: you can order from a large list of seafood options, mostly cooked without frills or fuss and priced by the pound. It's definitely one of the costlier meals you'll have in the city, but we paid $70 each (with a bottle of wine) and were beyond satisfied with the value. We started with a dozen raw oysters, which were delightfully salty and fresh. Next, we ordered percebes (barnacles), a Portuguese specialty that I had never tried before but absolutely loved. The texture and taste were a cross between scallop and crab meat. The Shrimp Scampi was buttery and firm; a great starter for pickier eaters. Finally, the King Prawns were amazing, with plump and sweet-tasting meat you can pull right out of the shell. For our main course, we ordered a lobster, which our friendly waiter brought out live for us to view. It was the largest lobster I've ever seen and more than enough for the three of us. It was served whole, claws, tail, legs and all with butter and lemon. Incredible flavor. While I was stuffed by this point, I couldn't pass up acting like a local and ordering a post-dinner "Prego," or grilled steak sandwich on crunchy ciabatta. The savory, juicy beef rounded out what is undoubtedly one of the best meals you'll ever have if you're a seafood lover like me. read more

I would recommend this place in a heart beat. A group of 5 people went there early. Wanted to sit together but because we wanted a separate check, we were separated. (the 2 people sat with another group of people??) Anyway the waiter was very accommodating. We ordered spider crab, garlic shrimp, barnacle ( 1st time for me to try and waiter was very understanding in allowing us to order a small portion) and ordered beef sandwich. Everything was great. Dessert was delicious too .. One advise: be there early otherwise you will have to fall in line to get in. read more

The best Seafood Restaurant I've ever been to. So fresh! Service was friendly and fast. An amazing experience!

Possibly the best and most reasonably-priced seafood I've ever eaten. Possibly the best meal I had in Portugal. Get the tiger prawns. And one of the stuffed crabs (sapateira or spider). The garlic shrimp were good too. Anthony Bourdain did not lie. read more

When I asked my hotel concierge to book me a table at this restaurant he said no reservations can be made which left me wondering. Anyway, we rushed to the restaurant rather early and got a nice table without a problem. This restaurant is a legend of its kind and need no advertising. It is popular with tourist and local patrons alike and the vibe of the establishment is amazing. It serves all the seafood which has a hard shell ( do not ask for an octopus, like I did, the waiter just frowns at you). As a side everybody is getting a full plate of bread rolls with melted butter, so we did. All the food and the wine was amazing and for a good price. You will just love watching cooks and waiters ( all men) in their concert with the only goal in mind: making people happy! Oh, WIFI is poor here, but I think it is on purpose. Just eat and forget the bl**dy Facebook for a while! read more

First meal in Portugal and one of the BEST meals. Best tiger prawn I have ever had. This is a MUST... One giant tiger prawn can be shared amongst two people but we did not anticipate the size and ended up with one for each. The bread was toasted and buttered. Dip that in the garlic sauce that comes with the garlic shrimp... what a pair! Would pass on the oysters. I was also a fan of the Vinho Verde. A 375mL was perfect for the two of us. They do not take reservations but the line moves fairly quickly. They are good with shuffling people in and out. read more

One of the best meals we had in Lisbon was at Cervejaria Ramiro. Opened since 1956, this place is a seafood institution. We were recommended to go early if we wanted to avoid the queue. We went there at 7pm and we queued for 30 minutes, but the wait was totally worth it. We started our meal with toasted bread dripping in garlic butter given by our waiters and we ordered some pata negra, Manchebo cheese and shrimps in garlic sauce to start our meal. The pata negra ham was delicious but this was nothing compared to the shrimps in the garlic sauce. We requested more pieces of bread to dip in this amazing garlic sauce. As a main I had some giant tiger prawns and prawns. Again all dishes were fantastic, the prawns were cooked directly from the tank, the quality of their product was so good I could have eaten prawns all night! With our meal we had a bottle of Alvarinho Solar de Serrade which went perfectly with our food. This is definitely a place I will go back in Lisbon as I am a fan of seafood but I am always scared of ordering some in London as you can never guarantee the freshness of the products. When we left the restaurant there was a massive queue (probably 2 hour wait), so don't be scared to have an early-bird dinner for once if it means you will avoid to queue. read more

The seafood here is amazing! I thought it was all about the hype but the seafood was super fresh and came out very fast. It's a bit pricey but worth it. Only thing is the waiter forgot our jumbo prawns and didn't come by at all until we finished our food. Other than that food was great read more

If Anthony Bourdain visited this place, I had to stop by when I was in Lisbon. This was another one of my treat yourself kinds of meals where I didn't mind paying a higher price because I felt like I deserved it (we all need a few of those meals in our lives right?). Anyways, we wound up getting a few different dishes: the shrimps with garlic sauce, crab, clams, and tiger prawn. If I had to rank these dishes I would put the tiger prawn first, garlic shrimps second, crab third, and clams fourth. I'll start with the crab and clams. The crab was actually really delicious! I just didn't feel like it was worth the money for what we were looking to get out of the meal and this is mostly why the restaurant didn't get a five star rating from me. The clams were pretty standard clams so they were good, but again, was expecting more. The garlic shrimps were to die for. There weren't that many so we split the around 12-15 shrimps between the 3 of us, but it was definitely good enough to give us some good flavors to start our meal off. The service was super quick and this was the first dish out so it really prepared us for the rest of the meal! The tiger prawns were out of this world. If you've never had a giant tiger prawn, you should try it. It costs quite a bit of money (one prawn was $25), but these things were literally the biggest prawns I have ever seen in my life. It was like eating a lobster and the butter sauce that was used made the prawns taste even better. Everything worked out perfectly because it was really easy to take the meat out and eat it all. Super super SUPER good. Finally, the mango. I was really just craving a mango, but it was good as well. Not worth the ~$4 though (unless you're craving a mango too). Final words: Fantastic restaurant, Anthony Bourdain made it famous, there was about a 30 minute wait, quite expensive, get the tiger prawns. read more

Some of the best seafood, I've ever had in my life. I traveled to 3 countries in 9 days, and my Yelpers were there to help us find spots throughout our vacation. This was where we had our first meal in Lisbon, and it set the tone for an awesome trip. This is a very high paced restaurant, it moves at a fast pace,but the waiters are still attentive to your service. The menu is actually contained on a ipad for customers to read their language, very cool! The fresh food and wine are superb, we ordered the crab, raw oysters, garlic shrimp. We went back on our last day too! read more

Going to buck the prevailing trend here and say meh. This place was just ok. I am not going to explain what this place is as other reviewers describe it, but basically in the US this would be a just seafood shack of some sort. Take fresh seafood, cook in butter and garlic and serve. Do not expect a delicate flaky prepared piece of fish. I took everyones advice and came around 4pm to avoid the lines. We were pretty promptly seated and given a menu. We pointed to what we wanted. Shrimps with garlic: 3/5. Everyone said get these. But these were literally the worst shrimps with garlic we had while in portugal (we had this dish 4 different times). Clams with garlic: 1.5/5. Clams tasted . . .clammy. I know they are supposed to be fresh but honestly they tasted pretty fishy. Suspect quality. Edible Crab: 4/5 taste. 2/5 value. Nice dish. Very tasty actually. 25 euro. Damn expensive. Giant Shrimp: 5/5 taste. 1/5 value. Amazing taste. Probably one of the better seafood plates I had while in portugal. But 30 euro for 4 shrimp?? Total rip. 30 euro is a meal with wine here in portugal. Final cost of the meal: 81 euro. With no wine. That's ridiculous. Once again value 1/5. We literally had so many delicious meals that were cheaper than this even including the alcohol (I would say the average meal was under 50 euro easy for a full meal and bottle of wine). On our two week vacation in spain and portugal this was our 3rd most expensive meal. The other two were worth it. This was not. This was our least favorite seafood spot here in lisbon. The other two had better atmosphere, fresher seafood, and were both cheaper (even with at least a bottle of wine included) by 20 euro at least. read more

We were heading to another restaurant and happen to run into this one because the 1 we were going to is closed. The staff is rude and very unfriendly, they don't attend to you much at all. They weren't quite understanding us which is normal because we don't speak Portuguese. But the food was absolutely amazing and would bring us back again. It was very affordable and it surprised us because the flavor was phenomenal. We already 3 dishes and shared. The lobster rice is to die for! If not for the staff I would have definitely given a 5. You also must try the salmon read more

They had a power outage the night I came, but they said someone was coming to fix the fuse; so I waited. Best decision ever! I was literally the first served right when I sat down. CR has some of the freshest seafood I've ever had! The garlic shrimp and clams were so good. I smothers the buttered bread with the delicious sauces the shrimp and clams came with. I also ordered oysters which were great of you like them salty vs creamy. Added a cerveza and a decent slice of pineapple and I was good! This may be 'pricey' in Lisbon, but it doesn't compare to US prices. So worth the wait! read more

Absolutely amazing and seafood; full on flavor and simple, dish preparations. The crab is a must.

Such a fun no frills dinner. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this restaurant but the food is out of this world. We ordered 4 things: crab, garlic shrimps (funny everyone calls them shrimps), garlic clams and king prawns. They were all 5 stars so my preference is all relative. I'd say my favorite was the king prawns, followed by the garlic shrimp, the clams then the crab. I'm a bit spoiled being from The San Francisco Bay and growing up with sweet Dungeness crab (best ever) but the crab here was super meaty and good just not as sweet. That's where the king prawns took the night. Overall..... I can't wait to come back! read more

I was so excited about this place that I made sure to dine here on my first day in Lisbon. I came during lunch and it was busy, but I did not have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. I ordered a giant tiger prawn, steamed clams in garlic sauce, and of course, bread to soak up all of the clam broth. The tiger prawn was fresh and succulent. Though I enjoyed the clams, I do believe the broth could have used a little more flavor or even some salt. Overall, this spot is totally worth checking out in Lisbon. They have wide a variety of seafood and fast service. Don't forget the vinho verde! read more

Excellent no-frills spot close to Chinatown. No reservations accepted and be prepared to wait in line but the seafood and service is excellent - and really reasonable in price! Menu is basically shellfish (no fish), and apart from this you can order iberian ham and Galician cheese but everything is seafood! My favourites were the gambas al ajillo and the carabinero shrimps! read more

Quite possibly one of the best meals I've ever had. A bit tricky to work out the ordering but actually in the end rather cheap (under €25/head). Very, very easy to over-order, however. nb: it's really big so the queue moves faster than you'd think; I recommend going when it's pissing with rain as the queue for us was 10 minutes long. Dry humour from the servers and the massive red prawns are an absolute must -as well as the crab s with the fat in the shell. Dreaming... read more

I would give this place a 3.5 star. The vibe and menu is is a good change. This restaurant is a heavy butter, garlic, and salt place. I enjoy having the giant tiger shrimps. They were humungous. However, do remember that it was a bit overcooked and the meat was a bit stiff. The clams in garlic sauce was good. I would suggest to skip the crab. Nothing special nor memorable. After my meal here, my cholesterol level was soaring off the roof, and did not feel good. I probably had like 2,000 calories in one meal. read more

This place is all about seafood. It's cooked properly and delicious. So many choices. We waited an hour to get inside and were seated at a shared table. Three women from California had just completed their meal and told us what they ordered. We followed their lead with garlic clams, tiger prawns and an edible crab. Add some bread and that was dinner. Lots of food. Very good seafood. read more

Anthony Bourdain - you have singlehandedly created the monster lineups for this place. RIP and thanks. Awesome seafood. Pleasantly surprised by the upstairs decor. Also wine is cheaper than Coca Cola - a bonus. Lunch for 2 including all manner of shellfish and wine was 80 euros. Yes - get the bread too as you will need to soak up all that buttery garlicky sauce. Also the steak sandwich was another surprise. As we were waiting in line, I heard someone say - "I'm going to see if they have any vegan options. If not, I will eat elsewhere." Needless to say, her friends waved her goodbye. read more

Amazing seafood! Since we were in Lisbon we knew we had to take advantage of the great seafood options. So after a quick research we knew we had to try Cervejaria Ramiro. It's a no-frills spot that gets packed by locals and tourists alike. There was a short wait before we got seated upstairs. We ordered, crab, gambas, and barnacles! That's right, the delicacy commonly found in the Iberian peninsula, perceves or goose barnacles. Neither of us have ever had it before so we wanted to try it. Trying to loosen the edible flesh from the skin covering was a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, it's actually not that hard. The taste and texture resembles 'akagai' or ark clam in my opinion but is also described by many as very crab-like. It was an interesting and tasty experience but we both concluded that for the price (it can be rather expensive) there are other delicacies that we would sooner indulge in than the barnacles. Aside from the barnacles the shrimp and crab were both delicious! We were so happy to have crab again after so long that for a while we just ate in silence, working our way through the crabs limbs and shell. We left feeling very satisfied and very full. A highly recommended food experience! read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Mixed seafood platter for one person - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Cervejaria Ramiro was the center of my Europe trip this year and I've had this placed bookmarked on Yelp for the longest! I was so excited about coming that I had to remind myself not to have my expectations too high in case I get disappointed. Arriving at night, the crowd of people waiting outside is a bit discouraging. Conveniently, there's automatic ticket system where you just pick your language and number of people and you wait for the system to call your number in your language. The numbers are random, so you really don't know how long it will actually take. I think I waited about 2 hours. While you wait, you could get beer by buying beer tickets and get appetizers. I wanted to save all the space in my stomach for the seafood feast. By the time we get our table, it was almost 10PM. We got seated on the second floor and was given an iPad with the menu. I've read and seen enough Youtube videos so I knew what I wanted to get. For two people, we ordered two scarlet shrimps, two tiger shrimps, one crab, 200 grams of barnacles, and the steak sandwich at the end. My absolute favorite is the scarlet shrimp. If I go back, I would get 3 of them just for myself! It's super tender and meaty. The shrimp flavor is insanely intense. The tiger shrimps were a bit overcooked but they are huge and also meaty. The crab was kind of fun to eat. They give you a little hammer and pedestal to crack the cold crab. The creamy crab egg was all stuffed in the crab head shell. It was crabby in all the good ways. I've never had barnacles so I was really looking forward to trying them. I got 200 grams which I was told is the minimum. The barnacles had a very strong sea water flavor. Being the first time having barnacles, it was fun to eat; not sure if it's something I would order again. Finally, I was so full by the end of the seafood feast; however, I knew I had to get the dessert. I promptly ordered the steak sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was packed with garlic and the steak was cooked perfectly. The steak was so tender and the bread was actually soft. It was the right sandwich -- or dessert -- in so many ways. Even if this place is famous with locals and tourists and the demand is obviously not a problem, all the staff are very nice. You have to come here if you're in Lisbon. Don't let the wait time scare you. Be prepared and you will be rewarded with awesome food. read more

We arrived and they advised it world be about 30 minutes for a table. About 45 +/- minutes later we got our table. Waiter dropped an iPad which wad the menu. Thus is a seafood place and the menu is 95% seafood. I didn't see any sides (potatoes, rice, etc). We had garlic bread (which was delicious) and giant prawns which were huge. The prawns were very good. We also had garlic shrimp three shrimp were not devained. The place is LOUD and vey busy. Worth a visit. read more
