The best oysters in Lisbon: an irresistible guide to devouring the tastiest pearls of the sea at affordable prices

Save

If there’s any seafood that arouses passions (but also some aversion) at this time of year, it ‘s oysters, a fruit of the sea that is a symbol of freshness and affordable luxury, which is also already part of traditional Portuguese cuisine, especially in places like Aveiro, Setúbal and the Algarve (Ria Formosa).

In and around Lisbon you can already find several restaurants specializing in oysters, real spots where lovers of this bivalve can enjoy them both in a more traditional way, au naturel (with a little lemon/lime and Tabasco), and in a more sophisticated and innovative way.

We went in search of the places where you can eat the best oysters in the Lisbon region, always fresh and where you can have a unique gastronomic experience.

And yes, we too are wary of the toxicity of this food, but in these places it’s really “trustworthy”!
