If you’re like us, who love a good mariscada in Lisbon, with spider crab, lobster, lobster, barnacles and clams, it’s at this time of year that we most want to relax in a seafood restaurant or brewery and enjoy these “fruits” of the sea.
And there are quite a few restaurants in Lisbon serving the freshest seafood you can imagine.
These are our favorites, but as new places are opening all the time in the capital, please send us a message with your suggestions.

Eduardo das Conquilhas
There are few places as iconic as this in Greater Lisbon, as the Eduardo das Conquinhas seafood restaurant is located on the Cascais line, more precisely next to the Parede train stop.
The late Eduardo Santos was the founder of one of the most emblematic restaurants in the area in 1965, making it very famous thanks to the quality of its seafood and typical Portuguese dishes, such as Conquilhas à Bulhão Pato.
It’s a dish that isn ‘t always available, due to the closure of this delicious bivalve, but on the menu you’ll find plenty of other excuses to stop by, from Lobster and Lobster from the Nursery to barnacles and clams, to eat in one of the three indoor rooms or on the sunny terrace.
Address: Rua Capitão Leitão 118 (Parede)
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, from 12pm to 11pm (Tuesdays open at 6pm)
Reservations: by cell phone 91 107 38 90 or by e-mail geral@eduardodasconquilhas.pt

Ramiro is that place where, when you talk about going to eat seafood in Lisbon, everyone says: “Let’s go to Ramiro!”
It’s also one of the oldest places in the city, founded in 1950 as a pasture house, and one of the most famous for serving the tastiest seafood in town.
So get ready because you might find a queue at the door. But if you don’t feel like waiting, Ramiro also delivers a spectacular Ramiro Menu to your home.

Real Pérola by Olivier
It’s true, chefpreneur Olivier da Costa has opened his own seafood restaurant in Lisbon, more specifically next to Largo do Rato.. . and we’ve been there and loved it!
To begin with, the restaurant, which is divided into three spaces, is very beautiful and glamorous, reminiscent of one of those modern “tascas”, but where you can still eat the best seafood in town by hand.
The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from typical appetizers such as Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (26€) or oysters (between 9€ and 28€), to Arroz de Marisco (85€) or Pata de Caranguejo Real (95€), and ending with desserts… our favorite of which is Prego do Lombo (24€).

The house specialties include lobsters and lobster with the famous glutton sauce, grilled tiger prawns with a special sauce, dogfish and clams with a house-style sauce, crab and spider crab with stuffed shells, burriés and razor clams and canillas.
