Strongly recommend it! Near the tourism place but it has really local foods. Small place but clean. Crab is fantastic and shellfish mix is also very juicy and fresh. The service is really friendly and speaks very well English. Definetly come back again. read more

Best meal I had in Portugal!!! The seafood rice was absolutely amazing. So much seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, crab, & pacific razor clams). Wife and I ordered a seafood rice for 2 and we were stuffed. There was a good proportion of rice and seafood. Flavouring was like a classic risotto. The waiter also served us bread and cod fritters as appetizers. The cod fritters were more potato based than most other restaurants we've tried and a bit cold but still good nonetheless. Didn't even touch the bread since the seafood rice was so filling. This place is a must-go for anyone travelling in Lisbon!!!! read more

Really homey place. Lots of seafood for incredibly reasonable prices. The seafood rice was probably my favorite, but the fish platter and octopus salad were delicious as well. read more

I love the food here. Someone recommended I eat in Alfama and I just happen to walk in during my trek through the city, lazy afternoon style. The food is great. I had the grilled salmon. I also had cod for starters and white sangria. Locals as well as tourists eat here. The staff is nice and welcoming. read more

Restaurante Rio Coura - Grilled salmon w potatoes and broccoli - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

We went there because we read good yelp reviews. The food was average at best, the floor was dirty and the service was sloppy. There are a lot of nice places in the area, don't go there. read more

After hiking workout in Alfama you need some good stick to your ribs home cooking. Restaurante Rio Coura hit the spot. Delicious and well priced. read more

Had great mixed grilled seafood there, felt like having a home cooked meal. We all throughly enjoyed the food the service was ok.

Not a good experience. Soup was cold and food was nothing special and for Lisbon overpriced

Let me begin by stating that the food here was good, not great, but reasonably prepared. Where this establishment misses the mark is the service and strategy of their waitstaff. We had an older man (I'm not sure if he's the owner or not) as our waiter and he was very abrupt, but I could have overlooked that given how small the place was and how many people were being pressed into this little space...however; what I couldn't forgive was the obvious duping of diners in terms of what was placed on tables in an attempt to bump up their tabs. Our waiter provided us bread...but no butter when we asked for butter, he ignored the subsequent three requests...and finally he said "buuuuuttttterrr!!??!!??" in an annoyed tone and then he brought a cheese platter that we didn't ask for with one small packaged butter slab on it. I ordered a beer, their smaller size...he brought the larger one. We watched him bring three large carafe's of wine to a nearby table and they had to noticeably confront him that they had only ordered two smaller ones. We observed multiple instances where he was literally aggressively pushing food onto people...it was rather wierd to watch/experience actually. There are TONS of great options for authentic local food where the dishes are better prepared, not as expensive and served with a smile and a measure of ethics. I strongly suggest people avoid this place... read more

My husband and I ate here last night and we very much recommend it. It's a no frills place and feels very welcoming. The prices are very reasonable and cheaper than most other restaurants around. We had the 1/2 portion of white clams as a starter which was enough for both of us because the main dishes were very generous. I had the grilled codfish with vegetables and small potatoes. It was very tasty and fresh. My husband had the grilled calamari. His plate was also a very generous serving and included vegetables. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to eat well and wants their money's worth. This is by far the best food we've had since we arrived one week ago. read more

3 people- seafood platters and a carafe of wine- 33Euros! Busy but friendly and every plate was fresh and delicious! Thanks Yelp for helping me find this little local gem! read more

Best food. Like you would like to cook at home. The ambience is a true local one. For sure not the last one here.

So happy to have stumbled onto this great little place. No frills. No attitude. No tourists (except me). Great food, really low price. Very happy customer. read more

Literally the worst meal I have eaten in months. My fried cod was half undercooked and half overcooked to the point of being inedible. The accompanying potatoes were equally tough, and the few olives on the plate tasted like plastic. My girlfriend ordered the grilled squid and had to stop eating after a few bites because it too was undercooked (but also partly charred). My soup came lukewarm and it took 2 people to figure out how to take it back and reheat it. Some places look cheap but are actually awesome. This place looks cheap because they don't care about anything, food included. read more

Feels lien you are eating seafood in some relatives home. Very simple but good seafood. Service was fine.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Lisbon. It is affordable even though it has a high quality. You see them take the fresh fish out of the ice, so you know the food is fresh. read more

HARD five. Alentejana (pork with clams) had a rich, smooth sauce that I would substitute for water for the rest of my life. Mussels were massive and fresh. Propose to your girl here, and she will say yes. If you are single, any girl off the street will do. Love at first sight of these seafood dishes. read more

What can I say, had a fantastic meal and I could not have ask for a better meal to end my trip in amazing Lisbon. As I'm traveling alone, I deliberately not had a heavy lunch and arrive here just after 8, I was lucky to get the one of the last 2 tables. Ordered the mussels and seafood rice for 1. To be honest, was a little disappointed to see it wasn't my favourite black mussels but the green ones, but taste is great, with the onions, tomatoes and peppers​. I was half full after this but I was looking forward to the seafood rice, when it came, OMG it's huge for 1 person and the reviews are not wrong, the amount of seafood is just amazing, medium size prawns, baby clams, mussels, seafood sticks and there are also crab claws, the texture of the rice is softer, more like the Chinese congee which I don't mind ...I only managed half of the rice but I picked all the yummy seafood! Highly recommended for anyone coming to Lisbon and to make your trip more interesting you can catch the famous tram 28 here! read more

Oh, Rio Coura, my new favorite restaurant...a mere 6-hour flight away. I had the seafood rice on Monday night; on Tuesday, I went back for the grilled octopus. For its cost, it feels like one is stealing from these nice people when the seafood rice emerges teeming with shrimp and razor clams. Such a rich broth. The octopus - tender and delicious. Rather than rice, the meal was served with small boiled potatoes and a sauteed cabbage/carrot. The 'cup' of house wine is 2 Euro for a small carafe of love. I did accept the 'couvert' on the first night - 2 small grilled sardines and a 'pastel' of a fish croquette. I could have done without the almond tarte on the 2nd night, but nothing could have detracted from my meal. read more

Very good food served by nice folks. Octopus salad was great! Grilled squid was fresh and tasty. Shell Fish soup was really good and unique. Combination of locals and tourists. Reasonably priced. read more

Wow! The food here was absolutely fantastic. Given the tremendous amount of seafood in my seafood rice for one (which easily could have feed three) I'm surprised there's any food left in the ocean. Truly an extraordinary dish! read more

Good place. Kind of standard and inexpensive. Large portions. Dessert arrived ice cold.

We had a good experience in this restaurant. We had different kinds of pork and all were delicious. The red sangria was good and not too strong. The cheese cake was way better than the one in the States, highly recommend it. All in all a great local Portuguese experience at an affordable price. read more

Great little family joint with fresh seafood and a truly local vibe. I had the sole and got two for under ten Euros. They were fresh and delicious, straight from the grill and perfectly paired with a simple mixed salad. I would give five stars for the tomatoes alone. They reminded me of what a real tomato is actually supposed to taste like; none of that test-tube greenhouse stuff our palates unfortunately had to assimilate to. If you are looking for clean, honest food in an authentic environment, this is the place to come. read more

This review is from a real customer, so nothing has been "arranged"... in case you're suspicious. We went tonight based on other reviews on yelp and we were not disappointed. I ordered the grilled octopus (12 euros) and my friend ordered the rice with seafood (about 12 as well). Both dishes were good and above, with rather large portion sizes. The quality you get for what you pay is excellent. The restaurant is not a romantic destination (too bright, tables are too close), and from what I've seen, it seems that they cater to locals as well as tourists. The service was very good, with friendly and funny waiters. Multilingual menus are available. We also ate at Cerveceria Ramiro, where food was outstanding. Another excellent restaurant was Flor da Laranja, but both of these last two were a bit pricier. read more

Unassuming exterior, small inside, basic decor but best sea food rice i've ever had. Ignore the pictures and menus in different languages. You will fall of chair when the bill arrives read more

We came here from Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! It has a local feel, and the prices are low! A main dish is around 8-9 euro. Go for the octopus and the mussels. They were the best we ever ate. Swordfish was a little dry, but still tasty. Grouper was fantastic. And free wifi! Definitely a must eat. read more
