50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Lisbon

“We were two people, we ordered Portuguese style bitoque and bait.
I haven't eaten such tasty bait in a long time.
The bitoque, the meat very tender, and the sauce well seasoned.
I recommend it, and I will return because of the friendliness, the good homemade food and the good atmosphere.“

“We went there for dinner and it was honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever been too.

Nice vibes, small but spacious and wonderful staff.

The food was INCREDIBLE! We had the Tuna Tataki, Tuna Tartar, Ceviche, Shrimp Tacos as starters, the Miso Octopus and Scallop Linguine as mains and the amazing Caramel Lava Cake for dessert. Every single dish was perfectly seasoned and tasted awesome.

I would give a thousand stars if Google let me, and I'll definitely come back! ?“

“What we ordered was very good, soup of the day with vegetables and legumes, rice with octopus, and homemade caramel cream for dessert. The service is fast and the waiters very attentive, they have invited us to ginja liqueur. Recommended site!“

“Fantastic experience. When you come in, there is bread,butter, olives, ham & cheese on the table - you do not have to take it, but you'll miss out. It's so good! We chose the fish and were not dissapointed. They brought a whole lobster for 2 people, plus shrimps and clams - on top of the dish Base with rice, port and small shrimps
Extensive wine list - we were overwhelmed and asked out server for a recommendation. She suggested a very well priced red that was a good match for our meal.
Recommend.“

“Coming to Lisbon, we couldn't miss the restaurant of chef Louise Bourrat, and we were won over! The 10-course menu and its 8 wines was a real pleasure from start to finish, a journey of flavor allowing us to discover Portuguese cuisine. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have allergies, or if you don’t like certain foods (cilantro, cucumber, etc.), the menu is adapted for you.

All this is accompanied by very pleasant attentive service. We highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend it. The food is good, the space is quiet and we were very well served by Luís.
I will definitely come back to eat the same, I didn't think I would like a meat dish made in a seafood restaurant so much ??“

“We had an excellent lunch. We loved the atmosphere and the staff were all very friendly. What made our lunch so special was our Waiter Emerson. He recommended great food and was incredibly helpful and kind. Unfortunately they had a shift change so we didn't get to say a special thank you to him so here it is. Thanks for making our lunch so special Emerson.“

“We had an extraordinary enjoyable experience dining in this lovely restaurant at our stay in Lisbon. The food and the wine were excellent and the friendly staff added to the lovely atmosphere. Together with the reasonable price we highly
recommend and will definitely come back.“

“The grilled fish was exceptional. The service was very professional but not very friendly. The sangria was great but the desserts only had fruit or Nestlé ice cream...Prices above average. Thanks for the variety, freshness and good preparation of the fish“

“Taken by friends, as I was unfamiliar with the place, it proved to be a gastronomic surprise, despite the noise not allowing for large conversations. Without ever reaching the stratospheric limit of "divine", the small restaurant served dishes of good, honest and unpretentious Portuguese food. The only negative note for the creamed milk, floured and with few eggs, which could have been something from a packet. A shame, because the burnt sugar topping was delicious.“

“10/10 experience. If you’re questioning whether or not to go, don’t, just go. The 10 course tasting (really 14 with desserts) was SO tasty and affordable. Our server was a standout as well. They connected with each table, clearly cared if you were enjoying your experience, was attentive but not overbearing, and had an overall great presence and energy. I would definitely go again!“

“A prime location but difficult to park.

We ordered house steaks and it was delicious, nothing to write home about.

The place is beautiful and elegant.

The employees are professionals, perhaps the only thing I want to point out is that I wanted to be talking to the person in front of me and the employee kept “talking” a little beyond what was comfortable, I had to ask him to “go away” which added to the feeling of the night.
Shortly afterwards, at the next table, there was a family and the same waiter creating the same discomfort towards them, so they were also asked to let them eat/be “in peace”.

I would also like to add that the employee smelled a lot of tobacco, which made it difficult for us to have him by our side.

Despite this occurrence, the dinner experience was wonderful. A place to visit.“

“An absolute gem for tinned seafood lovers. The excellent selection of seafood, paired with ice-cold beer, is perfect on a hot June day. While my personal favorite was the Portuguese-style stuffed squid, the variety guarantees you'll find something to your liking. Plus, the tinned seafood makes a perfect souvenir from Portugal.“

“Lively place with good service and good options for a snack or a meal. The croquette starter, which seems to have a certain reputation here, reminded me of those snacks from children's parties ?. The fish served are fresh and very well prepared. The fries could have been hotter and crispier. The house white wine was served chilled and did not disappoint.

The bill was a little steep, but the experience was pleasant. It's a shame they don't have homemade dessert options, like rice pudding (that was out of stock on the day). The draft beer served here is Sagres, which in my opinion loses to Super Bock.“

“Excellent homemade food. Upon entering we were very well received, preferring to stay inside the restaurant. Always eat. Present friendliness, I found it really funny that you asked me if I wanted a bib!!! I LOVED!!!
They recommended cod à Lagareiro and grilled emperor fish!
The fish was delicious and the vegetables too. Hats off to the cod as it tasted just like my grandmother's!!!! Real, desalted cod! The potatoes were well seasoned and the green beans were delicious, just like the ones I used to eat without chemicals!!!! Congratulations to the team that made me relive the past! The interior space is a little “scary” although it has good decoration!
Thanks for the experience!“

“Away from the busiest parts of the city, the food and atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for! I would highly recommend if you are in the area. Very good prices and delicious, unique food, if you are visiting as a tourist. Recommended by our tour guide who lives in the city, and very happy we decided to visit!“

“The food is amazing! The arroz de marisco is delicious with a hint of coriander, and the shrimp pasta is flavorful, though the spaghetti could be more al dente. The attendants were kind and considerate. one didn’t rush me when I was browsing the menu before deciding to dine. The other offered us ginja, a Portuguese liqor made by infusing ginja berries. Everything we tried is first time and we love it!“

“Wow, this is the place I came to two days in a row.
A real seafood restaurant of the best!!!!!!! Come to Lisbon and come here
You'd be stupid if you didn't eat it, really..
I recommend that you make a reservation before going.
Be sure to try the octopus (poppo dish) and cutlassfish dish!!!!
I think I’ll remember this even when I go to Korea ㅠㅠ
It's a bit scary on the way up, so ladies, make sure to go when the sun is shining! Absolutely“

“The experience was exceptional from start to finish, Rachana was incredibly, attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot on, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend it and would definitely return, especially for the wonderful service!“

“We were recommended by a friend. And everything was perfect. We went early, and we got rid of waiting, because when we left there was a long line. Exceptional service, the waitress was perfect. It has two parts, one for at most 4 people, and the other part for groups. Without a doubt, I would return. Recommended ?/?.
Good price.“

“Restaurant that I highly recommend. Very welcoming and attentive servers. Very nice pieces of fish and meat. 13€ for the salmon steak with fries and salad. 59€ for 3 with shared starter, main course and soft drink. Very good value for money“

“Lively, local, chaotic wonderful. Shrimp and garlic, clams and garlic, scarlet prawns, edible crab and that bread!
Delicious food, friendly kind and service and a raucous crowd made for an unforgettable first meal in Lisbon. A must when you come to Portugal! From central Lisbon it's about $6-8 in a cab“

“Great local seafood restaurant in Lisbon!

We had Cod filet, clamps, seafood rice, and garlic prawns (so good that we even forgot to take photo). All the seafood here is really fresh and the seasoning is simple but heightening the flavors of the original ingredients.

This place seems more for local Lisbon people to have a beer and some seafood snacks not tourist-oriented. The price here is very reasonable. The interior decoration is also very simple. Staff here might not speak English, but they still try offering friendly services.

Definitely a place worth a visit for local seafood experience in Lisbon.“

“Simply fantastic. We went for the snails and ended up tasting a few snacks with some beautiful imperials to accompany them.

The service is good and all the staff are very attentive.

Super recommended for a late summer afternoon.“

“We ate excellent cod for its quality and preparation, and some very successful desserts. and best of all, the attention and service of the waiter, Antonio, who is Spanish, and who serves with great kindness and very professionally. Without a doubt, we will return.“

“TOP place to eat in Belém, after visiting the neighborhood eating here (even when tired) makes you feel full and satisfied. The steak with egg is incredible, but the stone-grilled steak exceeds expectations. The wait at rush hour (14-15) and in August can be a little longer, as is normal, but it is worth it.“

“Look, it's definitely not a tourist restaurant. Do you want to eat well? Then he found the place. Tomorrow I'm going again, good for me as it's close to home. Fantastic sea bream, shrimp starter with garlic too, warm bread to accompany. Very good service, an Indian boy who speaks Portuguese well served me very well.
Thanks :)“

“The food was good!

The dishes were well made, good plating and presentation.

As for the dishes, rich, flavorful, you could tell that the product was good. We noticed the care in the plating and the service was very friendly (both the girl and the boy).

The price may be a little high for what we ordered, but not excessive.“

“We said we were Spanish and a waiter came to speak to us in Spanish. He told us that the appetizer dishes were charged and that we could remove what we didn't want, so we were left with three. The ham was very good but the cut failed. They advised us on the menu. My husband's dish took a long time to bring and they invited him and did not charge for his dessert... the deference came out of them. We were three. Modest wine and a dessert in mind. 150 euros. Good food but it wasn't spectacular either“

“SPECTACULAR RESTAURANT WITH TRADITIONAL, CHEAP AND ABUNDANT FOOD IN THE PUREST OF LISBON. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ?

Extensive menu, delicious, cheap and abundant in its dishes. Located in the Bairro Alto of Lisbon, in streets that convey the purest of Lisbon.
Multi-award winning restaurant with a great tradition.“

“Kid-friendliness: We went to this restaurant for fist dinner when we arrived to lisbon this restaurant advised from taxi driver and the place was very fancy wich we didn’t have any idea but the waiters were very polite and helpful to order the food was amazing delicious and kid were happy too“

“For the sake of this friendly restaurant, which is appreciated for its aesthetic environment, menu and service, I regret having to point out the lack of cordiality shown by SOME of the team members at the service, which, of course, needs to improve!
The customer is never taken for granted. Spend more sometimes or spend less sometimes, the customer must always be served with respect and kindness and not subject to the luck and mood of SOME employees and even hear reprimands from colleagues. It's not a category! Better is required.“

“Was nervous coming here as 1) our favourite is (was Ramiro) and 2) the reviews others have written.

Ended up loving it here: food is better, prices are similar, no queues and the vibe is chill. It was so good I came twice in two days“

“Excellent place for lunch or dinner in Lisbon!
It is very close to the historic center of Lisbon and the food is very good at a very good price for being in the center.
Joy has looked after us very well, he is very friendly and has advised us on everything we have asked for.“

“Very good place, with tasty food and refreshing drinks.Good location and nice area where this place is located.When visiting the area, it is worth stopping here and taking a break.I think that 5 stars, which is the highest rating, is accurate for this place and I am happy to recommend it ;)“

“I love this place. Great quality seafood without the dooshy waiters over at O Palacio. The waiters here are professional and POLITE. The seafood is fresh with a great variety and the wine selection is nice. All at a very reasonable price. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Such a special place and an absolute must for dinner in Lisbon.

The food was incredible and the small details within their wonderful service was so very special.

Make sure you book... It's hard to get a table and you definitely can't just walk in. (August)“

“You MUST eat and drink here!!! Checked out food and drink menus for over a dozen places and Can the Can stood out - the Pica Pau is the best I’ve ever had - exceptional service (Leticia is amazing) and the drinks are second to none - tell Anthony or Daniel what you’re looking for at the bar and they won’t disappoint. Beyond dining and drinking - Try the Garum - if you like food, you will need to get this!“

“Perfect view, service and food! We didn't reserve and yet, everyone here made it possible for us to get a table near the water (my daughter wanted it so much!). As for the food it's really delicious and the service and smiles were at least as good as food ? second time here and it is now sure we will come again ?“

“Octopus legs are fresh and delicious!
One portion can be shared by two people, including spinach and a lot of potatoes?!
Sangria is delicious in a big cup!
The business is very good. It is recommended to make a reservation or go as soon as the door opens.“

“Returning randomly we had a great time.
The dishes are quality and plentiful (salmon & risotto, Lageiriro cod).
The staff is very welcoming.
Notorious attention: gracious dessert for my birthday… without asking for anything!!!
To recommend.“

“Incredible food, as you would expect from a small tavern in Alvalade. Rice with gizzards and impeccable prawns and great snails.As was also to be expected, rather bad service: slow, unfriendly and inefficientTypical tavern atmosphere, with the advantage of having a small terraceThey don't take reservations, so get there early. At 21:10 they were already warning new customers who wanted to sit down that the kitchen had closed.“

“The bifana place Bourdain went to was closed for holidays, so I found this (also highly recommended) place. There was a line and it was busy, so I thought I might not get a table (and that that might be a problem) but when I walked in there was a counter where and older Portuguese dude was chowing down on a bifana and a glass of wine, so I just pointed to him, got what he was having and stood there devouring it. One of the best meals I've ever had, and it came in at just a hair under 6 euros. Dead simple and incredibly delicious - sliced pork, bread and (optional, add-it-yourself) mustard. Another absolute must-do when in Lisbon.“

“I went alone. I was hungry and it was a public holiday during august, so lots of places were closed due to holidays or the public holiday. I ordered the "vazia steak", and it was cooked as requested (medium rare). The meat was of good quality and the sauce was salty and buttery, but still acceptable. The draught beer was cold and full of bubbles ? between arriving, eating the steak and pay it took 20 minutes, so the service is pretty fast!“

“We have returned to eat here twice.Excellent, cheap prices and plentiful dishes with typical Lisbon cuisine but also simpler and more common dishes.Wide choice of menu languages.The staff is courteous, kind and smiling.The room is small but very comfortable.“

“All very rich. We ordered very fresh tomato salad, cod with delicious al dente potatoes and vegetables. The cheesecake and mango mouse were also delicious. A central and charming place, very authentic. It is a quiet place with few tables where you eat calmly. Highly recommended“

“A lovely Portuguese restaurant with delicious food. We had the squid and prawns skewer and the octopus, both cooked to perfection. The recommended wine was a delightful addition. The decor is beautiful, featuring traditional "azulejos". A must-visit!“

“Very good restaurant! The fish is fresh and you can see it when you go to choose your fish inside. The servers are very pleasant and helpful. In terms of quality and price, we got plenty of value for our money! I highly recommend!

Here is a delicious St Pierre that we tasted. We are a family of fishermen and we are completely satisfied with the quality and cooking of this fish. A big thank you to the whole team!“

“Not bad, an average restaurant, nothing special to make it stand out. The food is no different from the same typical establishments in Lisbon. For some reason the waiter mixed up the orders and everything fell out of his hands. Food without any special frills or frills.“

“We wanted to go to the famous restaurant next door but as there was a queue the staff advised us to go to this new place from the same group and with the same chef. We were pleasantly surprised because everything was really delicious! The waiter at our table did not serve us well, first offering us wines and bitters and then saying he didn't have them so we could buy something else at a higher price. When I pointed this out to the room manager he immediately offered us the bitters we had requested and which according to the boy were not available, going to get them directly from the wine shop next door (always from the same group). We liked the Muscatel so much that we bought a bottle and drank some glasses of Port too. We definitely were unlucky with the table boy because the rest of the staff were magnificent!“
