This is an AWESOME place!!! DON'T LEAVE LISBON BEFORE YOU EAT HERE!! The food is out of this world - the customer service is great. take the Metro as they are near the entrance and it will be easier instead of parking. FRESH SEAFOOD!! We went for a late lunch on a weekday- they were busy. But, they are always busy- we didn't have to wait though... Ipad Menu. read more

Such a fun place to end our trip to Portugal! This place is well-loved by foreigners and locals a-like. Expect to wait if you come during regular dining hours - we came around 9P on a Saturday night and had to WAIT IN LINE (literally) for one hour. By the time we were seated, we had a good idea of what we wanted to order. The crab dish appeared on almost every since party's table, so we ordered that, along with garlic prawns, bread/butter, and jumbo tiger prawns. We also asked for piri-piri sauce because we like things spicy. Everything was delicious and fresh. The jumbo prawn, probably the size of a mini lobster, was perfectly cooked and tasted great in their butter sauce. The crab is served two ways - you crack open the legs, and the body is filled with this magical crab dip. I wasn't sure what was mixed in, or maybe I'm too scared to know, but it was delicious! The garlic shrimp, of course, did not disappoint (I mean, it's garlic, butter, and shrimp....how bad can that be?!) We washed everything down with a few local beers! All in all, we had a great time! We were stuffed by the end of all of this though still ordered 2 desserts. Everything came out to less than 60 euros....a STEAL for fresh seafood if you ask me! read more

Got the garlic prawns, oysters, and giant tiger prawns (250G). The garlic prawns were delicious, and would recommend skipping the oysters for it. Finished the email with the ice cream caramel dessert, which is also a must try!:) Spent a total of €124.85, mainly because of the tiger prawns. read more

Lots of well prepared fresh seafood. It's famous for a reason. Supposedly the wait can be long if you go any time around dinner (7-9:30). There is also a second floor which is even bigger than the ground floor. read more

This place needs no further praising. However I can't refrain from saying that it is one of the best seafood places I have ever been to in my life. Everything is simply delicious. read more

Nice seafood place too touristic with average service and highly priced. Very close Marisqueira do Lis offers the same quality with much more affordable prices!! read more

The freshness and variety of the seafood it serves is no doubt. Ambience wise, it is more like a bar/canteen, simple but full of energy! Waiters are busy but super efficient, even you don't speak Portuguese, when you look for them and they look at you, they could probably guess what you want, amazing! A one of kind restaurant to hang out and have a blast in Lisbon, plus you never know who would sit next to you. read more

The seafood is awesome both in taste and variety. and we didn't have to wait very long for a table of 9. I wouldn't mind having a few more options for people who don't eat seafood. Service was quite good and the place is very clean and confortable. Watch out because they keep filing your beer without asking and they do keep charging. Same has to be said for the bread. Which by the way is also pretty good especially if you like butter. read more

Pleasltly waited for over an hour and the food was good However we didn't go with what the waiter Narciso suggested we wanted to tried something different not all that tourists come for "caniellas" and langostinos were really good it was worth the wait read more

Delicious and fresh seafood. We went to have an early dinner and was seated right away. The service was good and the food was delicious. It's definitely a tourist trap, but worth it. read more

Came here after looking at the yelp reviews and was not disappointed!!!! Must show up not too hungry because the line is long, but once your food arrives you will be in seafood heaven. I dare you to leave here without a good coma! read more

Fresh, fresh, fresh seafood, fast-flowing beer, bright lights, and delightfully brusque but friendly non-English speaking wait-staff are what I remember of our evening at Cervejaria Ramiro. When we arrived early in the evening (with our 3-month old baby in tow), there was no line in sight, though the eatery was already filling up with locals on the older side. All of the seafood (from the tame to the adventurous), simply prepared, is delectable, and perfectly paired and washed down with their buttery grilled bread and some Sagres beers. The Pata Negra we had to start the meal was also excellent-- who would have thought that some of my favorite cured meats would be eaten at a seafood restaurant? Note: we found this place to be very accommodating for our little one, and found out that they also offer take-out as well! read more

Food was amazing. We had the crab prawns and oysters and all three were delicious. Recommend emailing them for a reservation to avoid a long wait. Service was excellent from start to finish. read more

Great everything here, with a fantastic finish. Don't feel so bad pointing out this tourist favorite (but I am not giving up my favorite local spots since I don't want them overrun with other Americans). Expensive but who wants cheap seafood? read more

If you've visited Lisbon without stopping by Ramiro's, you should ask your travel agent for a refund, because you missed out. Joke intro over, now onto the review. Ramiro's is one of those institutions that can draw people from every part of Lisbon society. Families, singles, young, old, tourists, and long time locals come to gather as a whole. The draw? Very good seafood. Ramiro's doesn't do overly fancy dishes, but the quality of their simple seafood dishes is very high. The ingredients are all fresh from the ocean and most of it was alive the moment you ordered it. You killer!! I loved the lobster the most. If you order that I wouldn't order a lot more, because it's good for a group of people. It's also easily the priciest thing on the menu. My wife loved the crab which comes in two parts, one is the main body of the crab split in half and drenched in this savory sauce. The second part is the remaining body parts simply boiled, no sauce included. People like pairing it with the garlic bread they give you. The shrimps were good and were popular at just about every table. The clams were cooked in this garlic and olive oil juice which mixed well with the clam's natural flavor. Expect long lines here as a recent Anthony Bourdain episode put this place on the global map. We came once at 11 and had no lines, but as soon as 12 hit wow the line built up out the door. The dinner crowd line is worse. Come early, be patient. Lastly, the neighborhood is ok, but a little seedy, especially if you travel up the street away from the waterfront. Lots of beggars and homeless folks up that way. Not the best place to look like a tourist. read more

We went there to test it. Everything was in perfect order with one exception that beer is served in sth size of a shot. Queues can be pretty long if you go there after dark. read more

As good as your gonna get with fresh crustaceans. Tried the barnacles which was weird but good (watch out they squirt) , the garlic shrimp was awesome, tasty butter garlic clams and the giant tiger prawns amazing and enormous. read more

Contrary to popular belief, Ramiro does take reservations! I asked the manager to confirm. There is usually a line out the door during dinner but it moves pretty fast (my mom and I didn't have a reservation, arrived at 7:30pm, and waited in line for 30 minutes). This place is interesting because it's packed with half locals and half tourists. We sat next to a local Portuguese couple who frequent the restaurant. I asked them what to order and we followed everything they ordered. They said we were lucky because Ramiro is one of the best seafood restaurants in Lisbon! What you must try are the clams and giant shrimp (fried, not grilled). We also ordered a whole crab and escargot - those were pretty good but not amazing. The buttered bread is a must! Don't worry about ordering everything upfront. The service is fast and efficient and they don't mind you adding more seafood as your meal progresses. The table next to us ordered the steak sandwich as a "dessert" which looked delicious but my mom and I were stuffed. I'm giving them 4 out of 5 stars because even though the clams were great, they were a little too salty for my taste. The fried shrimp was really good too but again, there was too much salt on it. Our total bill was only 63 euros! Amazing deal!! read more

I went early (6:30) after reading everybody else's reviews. Perfect timing though because as soon as I sat down the line started forming. They move fast here though so it's not the typical Portuguese leisurely paced dinner. The garlic shrimp was delicious and had just the right hint of red pepper to give it a zing. I ordered a lobster and I did my darnedest to finish it! I kept the garlic shrimp around which worked out great because then I could dip my lobster in the garlic butter. So good. The little old man that waited on me was super nice. Not very strong in English (like at all) but he figures out a way to communicate and get things across. He kept the beers flowing and I never had to ask for anything as he had already anticipated my needs and wants. read more

Fantastic. Do not miss this restaurant if you love food from the sea. We are requesting an encore.

Awesome place! We spent 2 hours waiting for a table but it ended up in a fantastic way. Food was REALLY good! Good atmosphere as well

Awesome food. Worth the wait. Try the giant prawns, garlic shrimp, garlic clans, oysters and spiny dye-murex. Food was excellent.

Simply amazing. The freshest seafood prepared in simple yet delicious ways. Favorite item - clams in garlic sauce. The giant king prawns were delectable. The crab was huge and oh so good. We tried the barnacles at the encouragement of our Portuguese neighbors (who then demonstrated the proper way to eat them) - definitely not for everyone but for the adventurous diner you will find they taste like salty ocean bliss! Must top off your meal with the steak sandwich at the end and don't be shy with the mustard. If you don't want to wait long in line, go early! For a Sunday there was a decent line out the door by 7:30pm. The wait is worth it though! read more

We had an amazing lunch at this place. Believe the hype. It's not fancy at all. It's all about the seafood. I got a little early, 11:45, so the place was sort of empty. by 12:30 the line outside was huge. Come early. Order anything. It will be one unforgettable seafood platter after another. read more

Scarlett shrimp Scarlett shrimp Scarlett shrimp! Juicy and seasoned to perfection. I want to go back to Lisboa just to devour all this place has to offer. The staff is quick and knows the product so well, I wanted to invited one server to sit with us and tell us about everything! I recommend trying the smallest amount of barnacles... Just because! They are expensive and hard to get cooked perfectly. (Dangerous to harvest!) read more

delish...don't get scared off by the lines, it's worth the wait. our waiter took care of us and my peeps enjoyed everything. i'm still dreaming about my lunch. i heart cervejaria ramiro... read more

Lived up to the hype! The bread, the wine and seafood are all devine. Don't miss the king tiger prawns!

You absolutely must go to this restaurant if you visit Lisbon! Seriously, I would wait 3 hours to get in if I had to, but you won't have to if you go early. You should be able to get in without waiting around 6:30PM. Don't worry if you can't speak Portuguese, they give you a tablet with the menu in a variety of languages and pictures. We had the whole crab and garlic shrimp. Super fresh and delicious! read more

We ate here twice during our trip to Lisbon. The first time we got the garlic shrimp, rock lobster, and barnacles. The shrimp and lobster were amazing, the barnacles didn't have much flavor, but were a fun novelty. The second visit we got the garlic shrimp again and the crab. The crab was a huge mistake. I read other's reviews about getting sick from the crab and we should have listened! The crab came out semi cold and I could see behind the counter that they were all just piled up precooked in a big trashcan sitting out and then put onto plates, not appetizing, but I didn't notice this until after we had eaten ours. I love crab, but this one just didn't have any flavor to it. The next day my husband (who usually has an iron gut) got really sick, and my three year-old son who was eating a ton of it got sick all the next day too and myself. The only one who was okay was my other son who refused to touch it. I would still recommend coming here for a great meal, but I would listen to the other reviewers and avoid the crab! read more

We were pressed for time, as we were trying to make it to the "Tourada" at Campo Pequeno. We did not get to experiment a lot of dishes but what we had was delicious. We had 2 plates of the prosciutto, which we ate with the buttered toast. Then we had oysters, and the garlic clams. We had the steak on the bread, and finally the garlic shrimp. Washed it down with some "Sagres". This place is an in and out of people, with a waiting line that can easily wrap around the corner. I suggest you make a reservation or be prepared to stand outside. On the bright side, the line seems to go pretty quickly with an average wait time of about 25 minutes. read more

Went at the start of service to get a table with no wait. Loved the waiters - charming, funny and patient. We pointed to sea creatures and they were brought to the table perfectly cooked. Everyone raves about the shrimp with garlic. It really is that good. Simple and perfect. Discovered percebes and loved these exotic, sweet and fresh tasting seafood. Beers are cheap and never ending. The moment I finished one, another appeared. read more

Cervejaria Ramiro - tablet menus. - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

When I told him we were going to Lisbon, my foodie and world traveller uncle could not recommend this place enough. We came here on our last night of a weeklong stay in Lisbon and it was a great way to end our trip. There was a long line, about an hour, which wasn't so bad because that's about how long I wait at popular restaurants on Fri nights in the States. We ended up getting the clams in garlic sauce and prawns in garlic sauce and both were delicious, though a little too salty for my taste. I would definitely recommend checking this place out while you're in Lisbon! read more

So soo good, we went twice in a 5 day stay in Lisbon. Long lines always, but order a drink and keep yourselves entertained. Must have clams, giant prawns, scarlet shrimo and goose barnacles. Pricy but u get what ur paying for. read more

This place is worth the wait. Shelfish was very fresh and simply prepared in Portuguese style. You can eat to your heart and stomach's content! Our waiter was funny and helpful with navigating the ipad menu. Definitely a must visit when in Lisbon. read more

The food was solid as expected- fresh shrimp scampi, lobster sized prawns, lobster, great selection of wines, and the bill that's very reasonable. My main problem was with the service, like the server bringing out dishes that weren't ordered, or serving the same bottle of wine without asking whether we wanted to stay with the same or try something new... Understood that is a very popular restaurant with a long queue, but the business practices seemed impersonal and borderline shady. read more

What a fun find! We went based on reviews from here, and were not disappointed. We managed to arrive just at the right time and were herded up the stairs to an open table. We wanted to sit downstairs, but it was too difficult, so we stayed where we were. Three of us ordered one order of barnacles, one giant prawn each and one order of garlic shrimp. We used the delicious garlic butter on all of the other food! The waiter did not speak much english, but he helped us understand how much food to order. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would return if I came again! read more

Believe the hype! This place is fantastic! Came on a Sunday around 6:30 pm and only had to wait 20 minutes. Had a beer from the self-serve beer tap (get a beer token from the bar for 2 euros). Once our number was called we sat at our table on the second floor. The place is huge! They brought out bread with butter (seems like most places here don't bring butter) without us asking. It's not free but totally worth it! We ordered the shrimp with garlic, clams with butter and garlic, 1 crab (the legs and claw come separated and the body comes hollowed out and replaced with some delicious crab dip), and tiger prawns. All of it was great and super fresh! The crab was my favorite. We also had 2 desserts and a bottle of wine. For 4 people our bill was only 94 euro (which seemed super reasonable compared with other places and how good the food was). I cannot recommend this place enough! If you're in Lisbon, this is a must go! read more

Bit overhyped. The seafood was very fresh albeit a bit over salted. But the service was horrible. Asians beware. I showed up during off hours when there wasn't a line and plenty of open tables. Yes! No line and no one else waiting...but my good mood was short lived. I stood there for several minutes, while all the servers ignored me. I established eye contact with several, but they simply went about their business. Fine. I get that many restaurants wait for the host to seat patrons. I understand that, so I waited patiently. No host. No server stopped to acknowledge me. They clearly saw me. After several awkward minutes, I finally indicated to one server that I was a party of one. He motioned me to wait. Finally, another server pointed me to one of the empty tables. Once seated, the service was brusque and cold. I wasn't really too bothered at this point because I get that this is how many popular, old school restaurants operate. However, since I sat by the entrance, I was able to observe that they seated all other patrons very quickly...all of whom were white and tourists, not locals. These other patrons were proactively acknowledged by the servers. This included the server who waived me aside. Coincidence? I think not. And I am not one who is usually sensitive about these things. This definitely impacted my enjoyment of the food. read more

This restaurant is fantastic if you want a small bit or a large fish meal. You must try the shrimp and clams with garlic, and save the bread to dip in the sauces. They also have really good Green Wines, which are very popular in Lisbon. Service was great too! read more

The best seafood restaurant I ever ate at! The prices are on the expensive side, but you get the best quality seafood. Our server was super friendly and funny. Definitely a very energetic atmosphere! read more
