23 Best Seafood Restaurants in Lagos

“Incredible food, both the fish (fresh) and the meat (juicy). A marvel. The atmosphere was very good and the staff were very attentive. The price was acceptable for the quantity and quality of the dishes. By the way, the dessert (fig cheese) brought back old memories of my childhood when my grandmother made such a delicacy. Congratulations“

“We happened upon this gem tired and hungry and we were blown away by the kindest staff and most delicious food. Our family started with garlic prawns that were unsurpassed. Then we each ordered something different and all had an amazing experience. I will be back for more sardines and dorado!!! Our kids had lamb curry and a hamburger and were so happy with their meal. Thank you, Pinhao!! We highly recommend you try it - you will not regret it!!“

“A restaurant with a fantastic product at a very good price. We ordered barnacles, Sapateira and oysters, everything was very delicious.

The service was very pleasant and very attentive, the only "but" we could find is the location, it is not the best to be honest, we stopped there because we were in Lagos and reviewing all the restaurants with the best scores, it is the one that caught our attention the most. attention.

We left very satisfied and would probably repeat if we were in the area.“

“Fresh and authentic cuisine. After trying our luck at a restaurant around the corner and unfortunately not getting a table, we asked the owner where he would like to eat. He recommended the Reis restaurant to us - the five of us just managed to get the last table. By 8 p.m. all the tables, inside and outside, were full and the line was getting longer and longer. Rightly so: there is fresh cataplana with plenty of excellent quality shrimp and mussels, and the rice stew with swordfish and shrimp was just as good. 40€ per dish for 2 people is almost too little considering the quantity and taste. Three people could be fed per pot. Our son (9 years old) had the pork steak with fig sauce - he ate it all, the sauce was so good and the meat was tender (he pushed the figs to the side ;)) We were very satisfied - the service was very friendly and accommodating. Great evening! (Total for 5 people with starters, main course and dessert + drinks 150€)“

“This place is incredible. The freshest ingredients that are super simple but create such massive flavor. I'm actually not a big pizza person, but this pizza is literally the best I've ever had. Great customer service as well. Please add this as one of your stops in Lagos, I promise, you won't regret it.“

“Went there for the first time yesterday. Extra early because we didn't feel like looking at it for long, which is certainly possible. Prices for food and drinks are really cheap in comparison. What is a plus is that the toilets are extremely clean compared to other restaurants. We will definitely come back. ? ??. Unfortunately I have to take something off. On the third visit, most of the dishes suddenly became 2 to 2.50 more expensive. I also found it inappropriate that visitors came in wearing bathing suits, towels, tents, balls, etc. A pity, ...“

“Наверное очень вкусно , но к сожалению мы этого не узнаем никогда . Вчера пришли и нам сказали, что ближайшее окошко в субботу ( а мы завтра уже уезжаем )“

“If you’re around Lagos you must try this restaurant. The seafood is fresh and delicious. Service is excellent!!!

We had the “camarão frito” to start with and it was just the best prawns I have had in my entire life. We ordered another serve.

For mains we had “Lula grelhada” and “arroz de marisco” which was amazing.

Make sure you book in advance and/or arrive early because it gets packed.

Highly recommended!“

“I've been living in Lagos for over a year. I've visited various restaurants and cafes here, and O Mexilhão is my absolute favorite! Whenever I go to other restaurants, I compare them to O Mexilhão, and always, O Mexilhão comes out on top.

The food is delicious, and the menu is wonderfully curated, making you want to come back to try everything.

This is a family-run restaurant, with the chef and the manager being a married couple.

My personal favorites are the octopus with sweet potatoes (served with salad), fried calamari, all seafood and amazing tiramisu!

And as digestive drink, ask for almond liquor with lemon juice ?❤️

Vegetarian options: They have a separate section in menu for vegetarians. And you can always ask to customize your meal:)“

“Read the reviews and thought it looked like a nice place. It was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly for us and our kids, sitting outside amongst local Portuguese, which is always a good sign. The chorizo cooked at the table was a highlight, and the garlic prawns and patatas bravas were really fresh. Kids loved the thin-based pizzas too. Very much recommended, up a lovely wee back street“

“There is very good food there. You can choose the fish yourself
be cooled right before your eyes. Very nice sea view with the rocks in the water.
Very nice staff that sometimes makes you think you are a five year old child.
But otherwise very good restaurant with excellent food.“

“The pasta we ate was very tasty, it was the carbonara and alla nerano, which in our opinion, the latter was the best. As for the food, nothing to write home about. The atmosphere is good - calm and cozy. As for the service, I found it a little suffocating when the attendant insisted on us drinking water as soon as we sat down, without seeing the menu, prices, etc. As for the attendant who served us and brought the bill, he was smiling and attentive. I recommend.“

“The staff was very friendly. The food is incredibly tasty.
There was nothing to complain about.
What you should know before visiting the restaurant is that you can currently only pay in cash. The ATM near the restaurant is also currently out of service. ?“

“We stayed in Lagos for 4 days and came to Mullens twice because it was so good. We ate the Piri Piri Chicken and Beef Mozambique. Both dishes were 10/10. The chicken was tasty and came with a delicious dipping sauce, freshly fried hand cut chips and a side salad. The beef was tender and spicy. The food cannot be faulted in any way.

The atmosphere was lovely — there was live music when we visited the second time. The first time we sat outside which was great and could see our chicken being barbecued in front of us.

Best of all the service is amazing. We got to know James a bit and he made the experience even better.

Thanks Mullens and see you soon.“

“The restaurant is inside a hotel. It has a very nice terrace with beautiful views. The living room is glassed in so you can also enjoy the surroundings. It is at the foot of 'Praia dona Ana' and can be reached by walking (via a walkway) to 'Ponte de la Piedade'.
The service is great and so is the food! The price is adequate.
A success.“

“We decided to go off the beaten track and stumbled across this awesome fish restaurant with a live Rock n roll band. We were made to feel super welcome from the very happy staff. Great to see so many smiles. The food was amazing. I had the Brazilian (don’t be filthy)

Totally recommend this place“

“Very good service

The waiters are exceptional in their care and treatment. We had been waiting for the food for 45 minutes, the place was full and we said so. They had not given us the order. At one point they brought us an appetizer and it was quick. Anyone has a mistake, and it must be understood. I mean service a 5, food is what didn't convince us at all:

Details:
- the grilled octopus we imagined something else. It is a COLD dish. They are grilled octopus legs, with some “crispies” (like a giant crouton). We don't find much sense in it being a cold dish, and having so much fried food in it. Also, for our taste, it was burned too much. I don't know if it's something from here. I attach a photo.
- Cod croquettes: little cod flavor. They put a lot of cilantro in it. I love cilantro, but be careful: it takes away the flavor of the product. Filling is more “apatatado” than a béchamel, it is more macacote.
- Tuna tartar: very good. It has sweet touches (apple), and bittersweet: red onion. You can see good tuna as a product.
- Stewed beef: we liked it. The sauce is very good, garlic, bay leaf, wine…. It wasn't bad at all

Because of our long wait, they treated us to dessert: creme brule. Very rich

It is a restaurant with waiters, attention and very good times. Very friendly. But in our opinion, we didn't like the octopus, and the rest was not bad but hey, we wouldn't repeat the truth. It also depends on what you are looking for.“

“Very nice restaurant to eat in Lagos. Very nice staff and very good food. We ordered a cod and shrimp cataplana for two people, which was actually for at least four.
The garlic squid is recommended. And for dessert, the apple pie and the Algarve pie“

“Extremely good service. Miguel was absolutely amazing. Guided us very well and helped us with our food.
The food was delicious. All very tasty, fresh, authentic we feel.
Nicely located on the main strip. Great atmosphere.

Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian options. My daughter debated the veggie burger which looked very good.“

“Restaurant located in the Old Tawn of Lagos.

We ordered 2 Portuguese-style cod that came with potatoes and vegetables.

The first thing of all as soon as you arrive is that they offer you the typical basket of bread and on the other hand, butter, olives and cheese. If you consume it, they charge you for it (it seems polite but it is not).

The fish was good and in abundant quantity, although it is not the best we have had in Lagos during our stay; even though it was one of the house specialties.

Dinner was around 25 euros per person.“

“Excellent quality food and it is cooked and served well. Modern, simple and very clean environment. Menu with medium assortment which is synonymous with product quality. Few dishes but of quality. The restaurant is high end for those seen in Lagos.“

“We are still here. At what time it is I'm eating with my husband. It is not the first year I have come and this year is the second time I have reserved a table. As always, great. Yesterday's rice with octopus, today's clams along with grilled cod plus yesterday's sea bream.“
