This place is amazing. Don't let the long line scare you - it moves pretty quickly! They offer a large selection of fresh seafood prepared simply, on the grill or on the plancha, with simple seasoning - this is exactly how quality seafood should be prepared. Despite clearly being tourists, we found the service was extremely good - they were patient and explained all the different kinds of seafood (many of which we've never seen or had before) and despite the long line outside, we never felt pressured to hurry up so they could turn the table. Next time we're in Lisbon, we'll definitely be going back. read more

This place should be the FIRST place you go for fresh seafood in Lisbon. It is f***ing fantastic. Yes, you have to get a ticket and wait in line, and there are lots of tourists pounding stone crab and lobster around you (and it might get on you, so wear something easily washable), but do not be deterred - order the clams with garlic and as many giant tiger prawns as you can get. And a bottle or two of a good vinho verde. Alvarinho Soalheiro is a reasonable choice. Get here early, like at 5pm, bring a few 2€ coins for the beer dispenser outside in the waiting area, and then proceed to eat the best seafood of your trip. This place is top of my list and if we're ever back, we'll be here again. FIVE STARS! read more

My sister and I are seafood lovers, so when we got in Lisbon, this was the place we needed to try. Staffs were nice and very attentive, food were very fresh. Only one drawback was, they were little pricy. 68 euro per kg of Tiger Shrimp was bit too much. I would shop around next time. read more

Would give it 4.5 stars. On their recommendation we ordered the crab, clams in garlic, shrimps with garlic (must eat) and tiger prawns. We also had two amazing desserts and the bill was around €45 per person which is reasonable for high quality seafood. Reserve (only until 7.30 pm and then expect to wait for 40 mins. read more

Food was okay. However just know, when the lady at the door says it's going to be a 1.5-2 hour wait, it's more like a 3-4 hour wait outside. They won't tell you where you stand in queue so you're forced to wait outside the restaurant until your number is called (which isn't called in numerical order so you really have no idea). It gets to the point of sunken time fallacy where you can't leave and sacrifice all the time you've already waited. Just beware before waiting, there are better options/use of your time around Lisbon than this overhyped place. read more

We've heard about this restaurant from many sources and must agree - it is a treat to experience this place. The wait can be long - but they've perfected the experience with a self service beer garden! Bring 2 Euro coins and you can drink the wait away! Once seated - an iPad with photos of their seafood specialties will make ordering easy. You'll notice the hustle and bustle of the waiters (Nuno was fun to watch. Hugging his returning customers and welcoming them back - rushing around with a smile on his face making sure everyone is well cared for!) and the ambiance is more like a bright cafeteria than a romantic restaurant but you won't mind if you LOVE seafood at reasonable prices. He suggested a nicely priced dry white wine and we dined on the best Gigantic Tiger Prawns we've ever had!! To finish - lemon sorbet with a vodka floater hit the spot. Highly recommend! Tell Nuno we said hello! read more

This is the place you want to go if you like good seafood, frenetic service in a noisy environment, no help from the waiters, and did I say it, lots of noise. The quality of the food which is good, by no means exceptional, could NEVER compensate for the polar opposite of a relaxed dining experience. This is the place to go if you like eating in Hell! read more

My husband and I went on a mini lunch date while our folks watched our baby. We decided to try this place after seeing a few nights ago a huge line outside for dining. This place didn't disappoint. We hardly had a wait and sat right away. The waiter assisted us and have is some recommendations. Wish I knew his bane because he was awesome. We ordered the shrimp in garlic, edible cream crab, and scarlet shrimp. It was also delicious. The waiter even prepared my scarlet shrimp at which I was hesitant to eat, but I'm so glad I did, because that wad the best dish ever! read more

As soon as we decided to make Lisbon our first weekend getaway from London, we began scouring the internet to decide where to go for our meals during the couple of days we would be away. The first restaurant we knew we definitely wanted to visit was Cervejaria Ramiro. We love seafood and Ramiro is known for their seafood. The photos online looked amazing...plus, you could order a steak sandwich for dessert. We were sold! Ramiro was about a 35 minute walk from where we were staying and we opted to try and get there on the earlier side to beat the crowds, since Ramiro doesn't take reservations. Arriving around 7:15pm, early for Portuguese standards for dinner, we were met with a line of about 20 people in front of us, all waiting to get into the already full dining room. The wait took about 30 minutes but it was completely worth it. Once we were seated, we were presented with a digital menu on an iPad. The iPad contained menus for six different languages and had pictures of each dish alongside the description. While it was somewhat style over substance, after a bit of searching we were able to find the dishes we were interested in ordering. Adam and I opted for a couple of drinks to start the night. He ordered a Sagres beer and, since we would be having seafood, we ordered a bottle of the Marques de Borba white wine. As we waited for our seafood, we took a look around the restaurant and noticed a large cooling case near the door with a ton of seafood in it. The space is old school looking, with seating for approximately 50 or so patrons. There is a downstairs area with private rooms that I believe you are able to reserve for larger parties; however, this is also right next to the bathrooms. First to arrive was a plate of bread with butter and after having one piece, we requested some plain bread. While the bread was deliciously warm and toasted, the slathering of butter would have been too much for the seafood dishes we had coming. We wanted to save room for seafood-not fill up on bread and butter! :) The seafood feast began with two beautifully grilled giant tiger prawns, served butterflied. A bit of butter and lemon were all these needed-they were fresh and so sweet! The meat was very well cooked and extremely tender. We enjoyed that the fresh seafood was allowed to shine instead of being doctored up with a slew of sauces. Our meal was off to a great start. Next up was a sizzling platter of shrimp with garlic sauce. The shrimp were tender and the garlic sauce was loaded with chopped garlic, just the way we like it. I did find the sauce just a tad bit too salty, but a piece of the plain bread was a quick fix. The bread with the garlic sauce? Fantastic. This wasn't a wow dish; but still a simple and well executed one. We had decided on the spider crab as our last seafood dish and it came to the table divided up for easier consumption. We were also provided with small mallets to help extract the crab meat. While messy, it was a fun experience slamming the mallet into the spider crab shell, which is much thicker than blue crab shells. They had made a really awesome sauce in the head of the crab with the crab roe. While all parts of this dish were cold, we didn't mind at all. The crab was fresh and sweet while the sauce was a perfect accompaniment to the bread. We were sopping up every last bit of the sauce! The tables are quite close to one another and as we were finishing up our crab, the couple next to us received a freshly steamed lobster. It was one of the largest lobsters we had ever seen and looked so succulent. The two locals made some motions to us basically letting us know that the lobster was fantastic. I wish we had more stomach space because we definitely would have ordered the lobster! Lastly, we had heard to order a prego, or steak sandwich, for dessert. Even though we were both completely full of seafood by this point, we still opted to get one sandwich to share between the two of us. This definitely stood up to all of the seafood we had just had. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare while the bread was fresh with a crispy exterior and a soft interior. A squirt of vinegary plain yellow mustard helped to cut the fat of the meat, resulting in an excellent ending to a fantastic meal. Does Cervejaria Ramiro live up to the hype? We certainly thought so. All of the dishes we enjoyed were made with top quality ingredients, letting the seafood shine. We highly recommend it if you are ever in Lisbon! read more

As someone who isn't really a seafood eater, I thoroughly enjoyed what I had. The garlic shrimp had just a hint of spicyness at the end; be sure to get an order of the bread to dip it in when you have the garlic left for some "garlic bread". Also had the giant tiger prawn which had texture somewhere between shrimp and lobster, which was delicious. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired since it was so busy, so if you're looking for something intimate and lowkey go elsewhere. read more

First stop in Lisbon and boy were we satisfied! We saw how much online attention this restaurant was getting, and although we had our doubts whether or not it could live up to the hype, we knew we had to try it. At 6:15 on Sunday there was already a short line, but it quickly grew within the next 20 or so minutes. We were able to be seated at around 7. We were mostly scared that the service was going to be terrible considering how many people were going in and out. Yet, the staff was so adorable and friendly. All the waiters were busy hustling back and forth, occasionally shouting across the room, but not one ceased to stop smiling. It was obvious they enjoyed what they were doing. The whole restaurant had a really great local, family style ambience and I could definitely feel how proud the staff was of their little gem. We were able to sit in the restaurant for an hour with no feeling at all of being rushed, which I find extremely rare in popping restaurants like these. ON TO THE FOOD. It was nothing short of amazing. We had to try the massive king crab with crabby fat sauce (MY FAV) and the delicious buttered bread straight out of the oven. Next was mussels with garlic and 2 huge crawfish. We loved all of it. We really could taste how fresh this seafood was. One of the only restaurants that I would ever consider coming back to. If you have the patience, DEFINITELY GO! read more

The best Rock Lobster I ever ate. Very tasty. We also had garlic clams and it was delicious. Our Airbnb host recommended to make a reservation and I'm glad we did because it can be a long wait. I also heard about this restaurant from Bourdain's show. It was totally worth it. read more

Really good food but pretty pricy by Portugal standards. I spoke to a Portuguese couple near me who said the seafood was an amazing price by European standards for the quality. Maybe this makes me appreciate living in Houston more, because I've had just as good seafood for much less back home. Tried the small clams and the garlic shrimp, and preggo. All were great. read more

A must try if your in Lisbon and craving delicious seafood. Clams, crab, tiger prawns,you name it, its all delicious & made to perfection. Did notice that prices seem to go up each time I go & the service is not as great as it used to be in the past. Overall still my favorite for seafood & cerveja. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

This is one of the most well known seafood restaurants in Lisbon. I found this place while searching the best seafood restaurant and made a reservation via email in advance. They have a menu in English and waiters spoke English as well. We tried the clam soup with garlic, the crab (Sepateira) and the scarlet shrimp (Carabinero). Wanted to try the Percebe but it was out that day. I especially enjoyed the Carabinero and the Sepateira. They're amazing. You have to try. Also, their bread is super tasty, but be mindful not to make yourself full with it. People also recommend the steak sandwich for dessert, but we did not get it. Literally everyone we spoke to recommended it. Anyways, it was an excellent dinner and highly recommend for seafood lovers. read more

I certainly can see why this place has such a high rating. Excellent, fresh seafood! Sparkling clean! Superior service! Highly recommend a visit when you are in Lisbon. Parking was a challenge, but we found a spot a few blocks away. read more

No vegetable or sides. Raw and some cooked seafood. Not even a lemon. Seating is all indoors. Why sit inside when the weather is perfect for outdoor dining. They serve the crab and brains and all. Not for me. was told this was the best seafood in the city. I didn't know the difference between liking seafood, grilled and even raw items, versus an only seafood place. No one spoke English and ordering was confusing bc u didn't know how much you were going to receive. I guess if hardcore seafood livers know they are hardcore, this place is for you. read more

Excellent shellfish, fast and friendly service, menu in multiple languages on a tablet with links to photos. Sinks in the dining room to wash hands between dishes -- messy and delicious! Garlic shrimp, tiger prawn, steamed clams, crab, bread, bottle of wine and two bottles of water for 86€. Went there on a Saturday in July at 1 pm and were seated right away but lined formed quickly thereafter. It moved very quickly. Mix of tourists and locals. Was afraid it would be a tourist trap, but it was a great experience all around. read more

This is no doubt the best seafood restaurant I've been to in my entire life. The edible crab, garlic shrimp and giant tiger prawn are incredible!!! I wouldn't recommend the garlic clam tho. This place is so packed, we went at 5pm and sat down right away, at that time the restaurant is already 2/3 full. When we left, which was around 6, there was already a small line. When we passed by at 7pm, god damn that was a huge crowd outside. Anyways, definitely worth going but remember to go early! I think one day if I'm going back to Lisbon, it will because of this restaurant(srsly it is that good)!!! read more

Went really late like 1130pm, result of a delayed train back from Porto , and got a table within 5 min It lives up to its reputation as really great so am giving 5 stars but honestly there are a dozen other great restaurants with same quality seafood and don't have the mad desperation of a hundred people waiting outside for some tiger prawns and barnacles read more

The emperor has no clothes. Lots of people rave about Ramiro and even Phil my absolute favorite food show guy highlighted it. And I love seafood! But this was a waste of time and money. You get a ticket in your language and ultimately we sat near other Americans. It's frustrating to wait for an hour and see people who came after you get in faster. This may be a function of your language but also perks from hotels. The New Yorker at our shared table said he waited 10 seconds because his hotel gave him a special code. I do not like discovering there is an "executive class" breezing In while I'm huddling outside for an hour with the masses. Kids nearby were tired and whiny. And this was a Tuesday in February! Not exactly peak season. Once you get inside there is no ambiance. Staff look unhappy and unfriendly. It's like a crowded tight Chinese restaurant. They bring out a pile of thickly buttered but cold toast like things that didn't seem fresh. I wonder if they are partially recycled due to appearance. We got our food super fast. Faster than fast food. Yes that's a good thing but Hmm. Definitely not made to order. The edible crab had a weird temp like they just pulled it from the fridge. My companion loved her garlic shrimp which was wicked hot and burned her tongue. A small pile for 11 euro. Like 2$ for each shrimp the size of a pinkie? There were no vegetables or sides on the menu other than a mango and another fruit. So it's pretty much JUST seafood. Overall very poor value for monotaste. Get your buttered rubber here! No other taste notes! In sharp contrast, our shrimp at Restaurante Carmo, was bigger, there was more of it, was in a flavorful broth, with herbs and lemon with real toast, which was delicately herbed as well. See my photo in that review for a much better deal. With so much good seafood and great service pretty much everywhere in this town, why go out of your way, literally, for this? This was my most expensive Uber ride too to get here. Rick Steves warns against yelp and TripAdvisor reviews. I can see why. No one is paying me for my reviews. I post solely for my family and friends when they come next and for me to remember when I come next time. read more

Place rocks!! If it's "touristy" then I am happy to be a tourist here! Every bit of a 2 hour wait but so worth it!! Marco our waiter was awesome! We had so much fun with the group at the table next to us! We had everything....and it was EPIC! read more

first thing we see as we sit down, cockroach on the wall next to our table. so gross.

Best Prego in Lisbon! Yes...I know this is a seafood place but! By God, best Prego in Lisbon. (If you don't know what a Prego is, I'll tell you: meat inside a bread. That simple.)

Oh my god!! That tiger shrimp! Just go seriously! Had two of these babies and it was so fresh and good. Lightly cooked with salt and simple seasoning to bring out the entirely freshness of the tiger shrimp. I would skip the clams with garlic it was very mediocre, clams you can have anywhere. Note we made a reservation by emailing them and got in without waiting in that horrid 1-2hour line! It's the best when you know they take reservations and get to skip that crowd read more

I think this restaurant is overated. Seafood is ok, comparing with Time out Market. Ot is overpricy also. You can find a lot of good seafood in other places. Service is awful. The line is huge , so waiters are running like crazy and dont care abput customers. I would understand this price for the exception service and food. read more

Amazing dinner, what can I say! We were told that this place had to be on our list of dining stops and we were so happy we listened! The bread and butter is insane, definitely delicious.

Five stars because we dined here...twice. The buttery bread, cured meat, grilled prawns, garlic shrimp, garlic clams -- would recommend them all. So much patronage that the seafood has to be fresh. Only thing I'd pass on are the barnacles, which I tried and thought tasted like lobster, which I love. But don't let that stop you! Someone in your party should try them. They are just a little alien to look at. If you show up too late, you'll be waiting a long time. It's popular. read more
