Having read so many stellar reviews about this place and its octopus hot dog, I had it on my hit list. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they were able to seat us. We ordered the: -Octopus Hot Dog (of course!) -Roasted Sardine Niguiri -Pan Sear Prawns and Garlic -Tuna tartare on toasted brioche with white chocolate and lime -Fried Seabass -Lobster Roll -Fried Scallops Overall everything was pretty good, but I wasn't in love with everything. The one stand out dish was definitely the Fried Seabass. It was really good! Sadly the Octopus Hot Dog was a bit underwhelming as I kept getting some hard pieces with every bite. The service was very friendly and quick. So although I most likely won't be coming back, I'm glad I tried Sea Me. Croacker Ceviche read more

This is a review for Sea Me Next Door. We reserved via The Fork which had a 30% off all entrees ordered. The inside has a bar on the left and taller shared longer tables. There is one private booth table which we selected. It is a tapas style restaurant, so for two of us we ordered 6 dishes plus a dessert. The staff explains the menu and that a lower section shows larger dishes. We loved everything that we ordered but especially the lobster roll (their take don't expect a Maine style roll), sardine nigiri, garlic shrimp (the sauce was incredible and came with bread) and the dessert. The food came out very quickly but we were having dinner at 7pm. The total for two people was around 80 euro with the discount, but we did not get drinks other than still water. read more

Hands down our favorite restaurant in Portugal. We visited on our 2nd night in Lisbon and had to go back at the end of our 2 weeks trip to enjoy it again! Visit dates: 15Oct25 and 27Oct25. Food: Toro sashimi - generous cut, super buttery and melt in your mouth. Tuna tartare - AMAZING. We will be dreaming about this for a long time. Best bite during our trip. Don't be intimidated by pairing white chocolate with raw tuna! It magically works! Octopus carpaccio - also an unexpected pairing with octopus and orange. Octopus was sliced so thin, so tender! Sea scallops - fresh picked from their on ice area, freshest of all restaurants tried in Portugal! Razor clams - also picked from their on ice area, fresh and prepared well! Service: Service was attentive. We had the same waitress both times we went! First time, she explained the menu and the fish market to us. She also made sure we had a nice progression with the dishes we ordered. Vibe: First night we did not have a reservation but they were able to get us in. Busy place, can get a little crowded as tables are set close together. Partial open kitchen and sushi bar. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! I'm so sad that on our trip, we experienced on the last night we're visiting! Will DEFINITELY be recommending this place to friends that visit Lisbon! Everything, starting with the bread with the olive oil and butter with calamari, was TASTY! Definitely try the red prawns cooked in garlic and chili! I also used that 'broth' for the fish that I picked out at their 'market'! Yes, it was that delicious! I had gotten their snapper... it won't disappoint! Our table also got the salmon sashimi and salmon in a California roll. Those were yummy also! The ambiance was excellent! Loved the vibe! The service wasn't too bad, though, there's room for improvement - our server could have been a bit more friendly. She wasn't rude, just could be more friendly considering part of the dining experience is the service... and it can impact how the food tastes :) read more

Excited to try this place at Time-Out market after reading all the reviews but was disappointed. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Their Cataplana (Portuguese Fish and seafood Stew) for 19 euros is full of onions! The stew is light, not salty and tasty. But was surprised that the base are just sliced onions. read more

So good I had to do it twice. Time out market has a variety of options which also provide more for tourists taste. This is one of the very few places you can get fried fish. It's tender, lightly battered and flavorful. Eat the ginger and squeeze lemon the fish for an added boost. Half of the fish is pre cut into cubes for easy eating. The other half is left as a filet. There's plenty of meat in the head as well.. The greens are good as well. read more

You better like sea food...for me ambiance was better than food, which was different/creative but overall just OK. Maybe we did order the best items...my favorite was garlic shrimp. read more

Please save your money and go somewhere else. First we arrived (party of 9) and it took about half an hour to get our menus. Then it took another 45 minutes to take our order. Then it took about an hour 15 minutes to actually get the food. At the end of the meal, the party was so hungry and frustrated that we were ready to just walk out. The food was subpar and the service was rude. I'm a vegetarian and I ordered the sushi - do not recommend. read more

I visited the sister restaurant called Sea Me Next Door, which is a few doors down from the original Sea Me restaurant. Aesthetically pleasing with the cutest decor. Food was a bit pricey and tasted just okay. Ordered artisan bread with Catalina tomato, salted clams in garlic and prawns in garlic. Portion size was very small so definitely order more than what I did. Food and everything was good, but not a place I would necessarily return to. Maybe the original restaurant but not the sister restaurant. read more

Fabulous spot with incredible seafood. There's great seafood all over Lisbon, but this is the spot you go to for something more elevated for a premium price. Service and ambiance were outstanding. Some of the nicest table service we received while there. We tried the scarlet prawn (must get), clams, sardine toast, and tomato bread. All were fantastic with the clams being the most passable - wish we opted for the fish stew which looked incredible. Only note is the staff will offer you the tomato bread and a port wine to finish the meal. These are not complimentary and will be added to your tab. We didn't mind because they were both swell! read more

We were able to secure a last minute reservation at this restaurant and it was amazing! There's a great long, communal table in the middle that we sat on and the overall atmosphere is modern. There's a great display of all the fresh catch that you can choose your meal from too. The food was great, simply put... we started with an order of the Cockles and Razor Clams; I think Razor Clams are my all-time favorite things! I also ordered the Prego, which I found to be one of the best I've had so far in Lisbon. We finished off with the Dorado, grilled and seasoned to perfection! The food here was just really, really good! Service wise, all the servers were very friendly and were great to the kids (we had the youngest kids there). I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great attentive service plus great seafood that was cooked well - the perfect combination.

Today, my wife and I find ourselves in the beautiful and picturesque city of Lisbon, Portugal. This seaside town is bustling, even in (what most of Europe calls) the off-season. By leaving Chicago yesterday when it was 18° and landing in Lisbon, where it was 70° we said goodbye to our parkas, gloves, mufflers, and fleece lined beanies for a while. But the real purpose for this trip was leaving behind our red meat, beef centric Chicago, and immersing ourselves in Seafood! We kicked off this gala "Diet" at Sea Me in the Chiafo district of Lisbon; and what a kick-off it was! Sure, they have a menu, and quite a nice menu at that! But, when our waiter ushered us to the back of the house, just in front of their exposed kitchen, there was thirty different kinds of ocean living creatures, laid out on ice, all caught that day by local fisherman. This display was jaw-dropping. My wife chose Razor Clams in a garlic butter sauce, and this local crustacean called Red Shrimp. I opted for Tiger Shrimp in butter sauce and some scallops (the size of my fist) cooked perfectly and coming with its own sauce. I got a terrific salad, and my wife got sauteed vegetables. This was a dinner you could possibly duplicate back in the States, but at 3X the cost. We added two fantastic white wines that completely elevated our dinner. The crew working here were these "All In" young folks doing everything in their power to make your meal memorable. A giant shout out to Sea Me bread basket. It came with three condiments: Butter with squid ink A crab dip that I could have eaten, gone home, and have called it a night And a very high-grade olive oil, made for dipping. This was opening night for us in Lisbon. Our list of restaurants to go to on our Portuguese swing this vacation has some pretty "Heady" restaurants to try. But, no matter what, Sea Me will always be near and dear to me. read more

Dinner was so amazing at @seame.peixariamoderna that we came back for lunch two days after! Fresh seafood you can pick and the staff helps with cooking recommendations. Tried a whole range of delicacies. The squid ink tempura wrapped cuttlefish were one of my favorites. Great crunchy flavorful wrap and the texture of the cuttlefish on the inside was so good. The smoked sashimi was straight up Japan. Such flavor and so fresh. Loved trying the different prawns. Some of the larger ones were so good and don't shy away from the head. Lots of great flavors from the sea there! This is a must stop but make sure you make a reservation or hit it up for lunch. Great experience, great seafood you will "see me" here if I visit Lisbon again! read more

The service was impeccable and Sea Me. From the moment we sat down, we never had an empty glass. Our waiter explained all of the fresh catches of the day, his preferred preparation for each dish, and did not steer as wrong. We started with razor clams steamed in wine and butter, then moved onto whole grilled fish, and ceviche. Absolute perfection. read more

We went to Sea Me on our last night in Lisbon. They have three locations, the fish market and main restaurant right next door and then a smaller restaurant in Timeout market. We went to their main restaurant at 21h (9pm) for a light dinner. We didn't have reservations but they had plenty of seating available. We ordered the thinly sliced smoked tuna which tasted like a nice pastrami. We also got the tuna sliders and scallops to start. The scallops were a bit overcooked so not as tender as I would have liked. The tuna sliders were great and I believe the buns were made in house with squid ink. Very flavorful. We ordered one of the tiger shrimp which our server said would be enough based on the other three dishes ordered. I definitely could have eaten another one but the gambas were flavorful and delicious. You had the option for the shrimp and scallops to grill or have a sauce with them. They also recommend about 3-4 dishes for two people. For our dessert we went with a savory dish, the tuna tartar with fennel ice cream. It was delicious and a nice puzzle for the taste buds. With wine and the port for a digestif our bill was around €140. Certainly an expensive evening but we also wanted a fancy night out. If you're a lover of seafood I highly recommend going here. read more

I was on my way to the sea food restaurant beside sea me but their was a line snd ended up here ! i did not realize its a specialty gastronomic seafood bar and restaurant . it could have been a perfect 5, but the staff that attended me seems needs more training . First , the wine pairing i ordered were not available, so instead of telling what is available she asked me again . then i chose the white one on the list , which was not available . then i have to tell her to tell me what ate available not to waste each other time . then poured me a wine from a half bottle which tasted nasty ild ! I love wine , and know when wine is stale ! so i have to tell her it tasted very old .. it is only suitable for cooking .. the new bottle tasted refreshing and crisp !! i ordered oysters !! Halfway to the six , she collected the tray with oyster without even asking if I am finished !I was in shocked but turned funny when she realized that I am half way of the six ! Some conversation perhaps , like asking if Im done, or also asking feedback about the food !! just a suggestion ! Peace ! read more

Sea Me in Portugal has another location and it is a stand in Time Out Market. I relished the food, and the staff exhibited professionalism and efficiency. The presence of actual fish was a nice touch. The fish soup and Sashimi, offering both grilled and raw fish options, were delightful. The ambiance maintained a standard noise level, complemented by the sea-themed decor and a clever restaurant name. While on the pricier side, the dinner for two totaled 110 euros. Additional items ordered included garlic shrimp, a piece of Cod, a selection of Niguiris, cabbage salad, tomato rice, and tea. It's worth noting that the seemingly complimentary bread and dips incurred a 9 euro charge labeled as "2 couvert" or a cover charge on the bill. do not expect it like New York City as it is the norm in Portugal. Personally, I didn't enjoy the dip, and you have the option to decline if you're not hungry yet and don't need the bread to curb your appetite. Overall, I had a positive experience and I would consider returning in the future. read more

Solid seafood spot in the Bairro Alto neighborhood off the Plaza de Camões. A glass of Laurent Perrier to start? Sure! Delicious two piece nigiri of roasted sardine sushi and bass with small clams Gunkan. Chased it with a glass of vinho verde and fried cuttlefish with shiso in black tempura. Ended with clams in broth. All very good. The nigiri was the piece de resistance. read more

Busy seafood restaurant with long wooden tables where you sit alongside other diners, kind of like le pan quotidian. Which was fine, it was nice to mingle. The fish was super fresh and expertly prepared. The service is efficient, not warm and fuzzy (also fine.) It was our most expensive meal in Portugal, however, and def not the fanciest restaurant we ate in. At least double the cost of every other top rated restaurant. We enjoyed ourselves, but I'm not sure the balance of cost/ambiance/service is as great as the many many other amazing restaurants in Lisbon. read more

Food, service was top notch, a varied staff took care of our every whim! On our second visit we brought three more guests, all impressed, 'how could they not?' TIP: Do make reservations!!!

(My dearest follower told me at Yelpies that he misses my Portugal reviews... so here you go Sean!!) A Japanese friend, whom I recommended this place to, told me that it has some of the best sushi she's ever tried. That's how good this place is. My fave - sardine and cod sushi. I've had a hard time finding them again elsewhere, and never with flavor to match. If you are imaging opening a can of sardine and laying one of the oily fish on top of a ball of rice... you get it all wrong. This is fresh and tender, like very good mackerel but better as it's a smaller fish. Certainly not cheap but if you are a sushi connoisseur, it's a must! Towards the back of the restaurant they have a counter showcasing their fresh catches. I usually save the crustaceans for Ramiro - that's all they do, and order the fishes here. You can discuss the flavor, texture and preparation of different fishes with the staff and find one you like, if you are not familiar with the catches. This popular place can get busy, you can try coming in for lunch instead. And warning: while all Portuguese restaurants may charge you for the appetizers they leave on your table, here the charges are per head and higher than other places. So be sure to check your bill if you didn't touch the small plates. read more

Cute Lisbon seafood spot. Had a reservation at 8. By 8:25 we said we'd sit at the bar because no one was getting up. We were lucky since the waitstaff was amazing from behind the bar. There's a young crowd here. A DJ played American music. You pick your fish for grilling or order off the menu. There's a sushi bar in back of the restaurant. We had sushi to start. All fair. Then we shared the octopus over greens with potatoes. The comped champagne was a great gesture for not being able to seat us at a table in the main dining room. read more

Date: Want to go, "Sea Me?" Me: What's that? (*search on Yelp*) Date: It's a seafood restaurant. Me: Ok! :) I was happy to be having seafood in Lisbon since they are known for their fresh food from the sea! Yummy codfish, tiger prawns and scallops! I forgot to order the sardine nigiri since sardine is what Portugal is known for and it was a bit of a Japanese fused restaurant! Oysters were lusciously delicious! Service was swell. Long wait during peak hours, but it's worth it! read more

Friendly and helpful service and good seafood. I had the roasted sardine nigiri and it was amazing. Also had razor clams which were good. Be warned the bread and dips cost money! They should really state that up front if it's already set at every table as soon as you sit down and offering it to you. It's a bit sneaky. Fortunately I saw another review that had warned about that. Also, this review is for the restaurant, not the Time Out Market location. I went to that one too and it was terrible. The fish was NOT fresh. I stopped eating it because I was worried about getting sick. So skip that location and go to the restaurant instead! read more

Such amazing food! Sea Me may not strike you from the street level as "a cozy, authentic Lisbon spot" because it's spacious and modern - but trust that this is absolutely stunning sea food. We first tried Sea Me at their Time Out Market location and it was so good that we had to stop in to the full restaurant. We were able to sit at the bar without a reservation because we arrived earlier in the evening, but it filled up fast (even on a weekday!). Make a reservation if you can, but also don't turn down the bar - maybe the best seats in the house anyway. Highly recommend the kaffir lime and coconut seafood soup if they still have it on menu and the oysters are a MUST order. Get an array of whichever they have on offer and try them all. We'd never had oysters from these waters before and they may have just been the best ones I've had yet. read more

Excellent choice of sea food and a very helpful and knowledgeable staff. A bit expensive but well worth a visit.
