As someone who doesn't love seafood, I agreed to go only because my travel companion really wanted to. We were the fools that waited for two hours for a table. They have an interesting system - no host, just an IPad that you use to enter your name, and you're given a number. There is a list of all the people before you, but there's no real way of knowing how long it will take. It was super crowded, and a lot of large groups. I did appreciate the outdoor beer dispenser (for 2 euros a cup) in the waiting area. Genius. As for the good, it's not really fair of me to speak on it, since there wasn't a lot on the menu I would eat. I got clams, which were very good, though not particularly any more exceptional than any other restaurant, oysters, and manchego cheese. My friend also had prawns, and she loved the restaurant. Even if I loved all seafood, I personally would never wait two hours for a restaurant (unless I could go hang out somewhere else and they call you). read more

This restaurant has a terrible menu. Only seafood and bread, no salad, veggies or desserts. The wine was terrible and the service was hostile. I recommend that you skip this altogether. read more

I love this place good fibes and very good seafood for a affordable price. It is a must if you are in the area you wont regret it.

WOW!!! Hands down this was one of my most favorite meals ever. Service was great, the wait was long but not unbearable and definitely worth it. read more

You are thinking to go here for a reason! It, truly, is amazing! The service is great, and the food is DELICIOUS! Also, I would recommend to order the Prego Steak Sandwich after you are done with you seafood. Forget cake and all the other sweet stuff! read more

I've been going to Ramiro ever since I was a little kid. This is one of the most emblematic "cervejarias" in Portugal. Although a lot has changed in Ramiro over the years, the quality of the seafood and steaks hasn't changed. read more

If you like seafood and in a good and simple location then go there. The focus is on the focus and on the service.

Excellent Lobster !! May have to stand in Line but worth the Wait !!!

Love the food here. The waiters are friendly. We ordered shrimp, garlic clam, oyster, crab, butter bread, everything is good. Would like to go again before we leave the town. read more

Recommended to me from a Portuguese friend and it did not disappoint! Very friendly to tourists and amazing, fresh food. Great bread! We had the garlic shrimp and the crab, very very good. read more

Not really worth the wait. Crab is cold and has not much flavor. I can cook the garlic shrimp myself. read more

Uma marisqueira histórica da cidade de Lisboa, cuja qualidade só vem aumentando com o passar do tempo, o camarão a guillo e uma especialidade que vale a pena experimentar, mesmo que isso signifique esperar uma hora para obter uma mesa. read more

A must go if you're in Lisbon-if you go with a group of people it's absolutely worth it to order as many things that look amazing on the menu and all split it to taste everything. It had to be the best seafood I've ever tasted. So fresh, all full of flavor. The staff works hard and is always busy so be patient if they don't tend to you as much. read more

Delicious black tiger shrimp, crab, and shrimp in garlic sauce. We order these, beer, and bread and out total was only 60 euros for the freshest seafood in town. read more

The garlic shrimp and tiger prawns were super tasty. You only need one to split as appetizer, two for solo meal. The crab is served cold. It would be better hit. But very filling still. The garlic bread is no a free appetizer lol but is very good and needed for your meal. The wine of choice is Cartuxa - Evora/Reserve read more

This is a very popular restaurant and for good reason. Great fish, friendly service, and a nice ambiance. Reasonably priced. Will definitely come back when I'm in Lisbon! read more

Such a fun beer bar! We visited twice in the same day and enjoyed both! Drafts changed quickly and got to try some authentic Portuguese beers. Also have the opportunity to buy bottles to bring home! read more

Nice place food was muito bom.restaurant looks like Chinese restaurant but its real portugese sea food restaurant highly recommend !

Soooo good! There was a bit of a wait but we had beers from the super awesome beer dispenser outside while we waited. The restaurant ONLY does seafood and you order by the kilo. The food was AMAZING! So fresh and so delicious! I highly recommend it! read more

Food was not bad but the service was brutal. We were treated so poorly we left early just because we couldn't stand to be there a second longer. We waited for over 2 hours and left in less than 15 minutes because of the horrific service. There are so many amazing seafood restaurants in lisboa, this one is not worth it. read more

Great seafood! A lot of the food is served cold (but cooked) which was still delicious, but a surprise. Lots of shells, so wear a shirt you don't mind getting a little splatter on. Save room for the steak sandwich, we forgot and we're stuffed. We got there around 6:30pm and did not have to wait in line - when we left, the waiting line was very long! read more

I give it five stars for serving me very fresh seafood that I can't have in the US. Charged by the kilogram so € can add up. Line is long and waiters can be a little stressed out but they always do what you want at the end of the night and with clear and concise communication and reduced neediness things can work out :). Word of advise: order what you want, eat what what you get. read more

Barnacles!!!! Omg to die for, they were so good. Family style, casual, excellent food.

I guess we have to thank Tony Bourdain for letting the foodies of this world discover this very typical, simple and somewhat expensive cervejaria. Being local, and a regular for many years, I'm slightly concerned that the publicity may take its toll on the neighborly feel of the place, but so far i'm actually enjoying the new crowd that is willing to spend a few hours of their trips to enjoy excellent seafood, great steak sandwiches and cold beer. Not a huge place (translates in get there before 7.30 pm on a Friday or Saturday night) and on a soccer night (check with your hotel concierge) it's very busy and lively, as we all like to have a bite after the match (this would be around 11.45, midnight). Although English may be a problem, try your spanish as the founder of the place (his family is still running the business) originally came from Galiza, Spain where a mix of portuguese and spanish is the local dialect. Be prepared for a very genuine experience and to fast some of the best seafood of your life: cooked lobsters, crabs, clams (jackknives too), shrimp (ask for gambas al ajillo, fried prawns i olive oil, with garlic and salt, a must have), etc. On a last note, the beer(tap) is local (Sagres) and you won't miss your fav brew, no matter which part of the world you're coming from. Enjoy. read more

Amazing! If you are looking for fresh seafood of a different variety than you are used, this is your spot! Fresh seafood, excellent service (Nu nu is great!) try it out. Warning a little lineup.. We went around 6pm....popular spot, well worth it.! read more

I really wanted to like this place and was looking forward to coming here after seeing all the reviews... but unfortunately the food didn't live up to the hype. We arrived a few minutes after opening and there was no wait outside, we were seated right away. The restaurant smelled like cigarette smoke from where we sat. I know indoor smoking rules are lax in Portugal but I couldn't tell whether the smoke wafted from outside or someone inside the restaurant. We ordered a giant prawn to share, the garlic shrimp, bread on the side, and garlic clams. While the food would probably rate an overall 4/5 for taste, it was a 1/5 for value. We didn't even order that much (we only ordered one giant prawn because my husband's not a huge fan of shellfish) and the bill came to about 50 euro. Normally I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for really good seafood, but it just wasn't worth it. We've eaten better and cheaper seafood elsewhere in Portugal. read more

My girlfriend and I went here during our last night visiting Lisbon. We came at about 8PM on a Friday night and waited about 30-45 minutes for a table for 2. Once we were seated, we were met with a very energetic old man who was our server and was able to figure out how to communicate with us despite the language barrier (we don't speak Portuguese, and he didn't speak English). We got the standard order of butter bread (so good, but practice some restraint!), garlic prawns, garlic shrimp, and a 1/2 kg order of king prawns, topped with a half bottle of wine. All fairly priced (they take credit card). It's a fun place to eat - definitely not the quaint/romantic/quiet feel if that's what you're looking for; instead very casual - think people fiercely taking a hammer to a crab claw. Anthony Bourdain recommended this place and he was certainly right! Worth the wait. read more

This place was HORRIBLE. It was recommended by a local and everyone's food looked delicious, but we waited over 2 hours for a table and eventually gave up. Service was horrible. There seemed to be no order to which people were seated. Some wait 45 minutes, som,e wait 2 hours. read more

Yes this place is famous. Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern to Phil Rosenthal have been here which is how we heard of this restaurant. The food is nothing spectacular. You can get the same type of specialty seafood, same style of cooking at the Time Out Market, A Roba or Cais Ao Mar. Talk to the locals there they don't recommend this place. It is not only over priced but if you are not a friend of the owner, someone well known or willing to spend in excess they don't care about you or want your business. Half of the items I wanted to order which were locust lobster and gooseneck barnacles they claim they do not have it yet the smaller unknown restaurants do for a cheaper price. The waiter we had was not friendly and we felt extremely unwelcome. I highly recommend you go out and find other seafood places which will give you a better deal and friendlier customer service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

Fantastic seafood. We found the service, which some reviews have mentioned was poor, was actually very good. Not a place you'd linger over a coffee, but great food, and a fun, bustling atmosphere. read more

We went at around 6:00 pm on a Wednesday night and there was no line. You still take a number from the machine at the front of the restaurant and wait for them to call it. The tables are shared and the atmosphere is frenetic. Super busy place with tanks of live seafood all over the place. The food is simply prepared (usually with butter or olive oil, and either garlic or lemon) and delicious. They bring a big plate of toasted buttered bread to start. We told the waiter what we wanted to eat and let him decide on the amounts, as we wanted to try a lot of things. We had gooseneck barnacles (new to me and so good), razor clams, huge scarlet prawns, giant shrimp and cold crab, which comes with lots of that fatty brown innard stuff that is so delish. The service was efficient and to the point, but not in an unkind way. The seafood was incredible. I would consider this place a must if you are visiting Lisbon and enjoy this type of food. read more

This is definitely the place to go for seafood. Our group had a great time and lucky to have a wonderful waiter who spoke English. He did all the ordering for us, since we were not sure how to order. He was spot on the the menu and knew how much to order. There is a long wait, but it is worth it. They have a beer dispenser outside if you get thirsty while waiting! read more

Get the garlic shrimp and the clams. Awesome. This spot gets very crowded with a line out the door so try to come before lunch hour. Warm bread with melted butter is good with everything you order. read more

Simply keep them coming. Order everything. Eat until you drop. Order a bottle of wine for 12 Euros and the party starts. Little pricey on the giant shrimps. Do not forget the clams: as Anthony Bourdain said "nobody does them better then the Portuguese". He is right. read more

Best meal in Lisbon! Staff couldn't be nicer. Nuno made the experience that much more enjoyable. Iberian ham, warm bread, manchego cheese, garlic shrimp, lobster for two....doesn't get much more delicious than this gem in the heart of Lisbon. Don't miss it. Arrive early to avoid long lines. read more

Bit of an intense atmosphere, but totally worth it. Amazing seafood. Also, save room for the beef sandwich dessert, the prego

Great food and great experience. Be sure to have the percebes, rock crab, and garlic shrimp. And finally, how can you not love a steak sandwich for dessert? read more

We arrived here on spec last night for dinner, really busy, we had to queue. Lots of freshly buttered crusty bread. We had rock lobster for the first time, it was okay, followed by langoustines, lovely, accompanied by a half bottle each of red and green wine. Don't know if they have a gluten free option read more

So glad I read about this restaurant right before our trip. We arrived about 17:00, and were seated immediately next to very friendly locals who offered us samples of their food! The huge Tiger prawns are not to be missed, and don't be turned off by the price, which isn't outrageous considering the size of the prawns. A memorable meal. There is a metro station a few blocks away, which we had no concerns walking to during the day. read more

hands down the best, freshest seafood i've ever had. it's quite pricey, but the waiter will literally come dangle your selection in front of you, and cook it a second later-- the food couldn't be fresher. they take reservations-- just email them! highly recommended. we had the tiger prawns-- huge, succulent, and dripping in butter; crawfish-- five times the size of the ones you get in the states and sweet! and clams in garlic butter-- so good! they'll also give you crusty bread spread with butter, which goes great with everything. definitely go but prepare for your wallet to take a hit. read more
