From holes in the wall to Michelin-caliber cuisine, these are the Lisbon’s best restaurants for seafood and fish.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Few things are better than a feast plucked straight from the sea. Any guidebook (and a vintage Parts Unknown<\/em>) will point you toward Cervejaria Ramiro<\/a>. It’s worth the hype\u2014and the inevitable line of tourists waiting to get in proves that\u2014but it’s not the only noteworthy spot for seafood in Lisbon<\/a>. Here are some of the best seafood restaurants in Lisbon where you can find a more local vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. P\u00e1teo do Avillez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portugal’s biggest star chef, Jos\u00e9 Avillez<\/a>, seems to have a magic touch with anything he tries his hand at. The fish in the nautical-themed P\u00e1teo<\/a> area of his multi-concept Bairro do Avillez restaurant is no exception. There are fine-dining renditions of all the usual shellfish classics (prawns with chili and garlic, bulh\u00e3o pato <\/em>clams). But be sure to save room for the very fresh grilled sea bass with creamy mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. O Pal\u00e1cio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Near the docklands of Alc\u00e2ntara, there are plenty of old-school, authentic cervejarias<\/em> and marisqueiras <\/em>(beer halls that serve excellent seafood for a low price). Since 1982, O Pal\u00e1cio<\/a> has stood out for its exceptionally fresh selection of prawns, clams, lobster, barnacles and whatever else is perfectly in season. Expect to get messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pin\u00f3quio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Cervejaria Pin\u00f3quio<\/a> is in the touristy area of Restauradores, it fills with a lively mix of locals and visitors most nights. They share platters of fresh shellfish, elegantly cooked whole fish and Portuguese specialties like seafood rice and lobster a\u00e7orda <\/em>(garlicky bread stew). The outdoor seating area is a prime spot for people watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Aqui H\u00e1 Peixe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name, which translates as “there’s fish here,” sells Aqui H\u00e1 Peixe<\/a> short. The fish isn’t just any fish. It’s some of the freshest in town. Longtime chef Miguel Reino buys it himself each morning from local markets. Then his cooking mostly gets out of the way. It’s hard to go wrong with with any of the fish or seafood dishes, but the cataplana<\/em> (seafood cooked in a copper pot) and carabineiros \u00e0 Miguel <\/em>(giant red prawns with Reino’s special secret sauce) are standouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Peixaria da Esquina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The seafood restaurant from Vitor Sobral, Hugo Nascimento and Luis Espadana, Peixaria da Esquina<\/a> showcases the same high-quality cooking as its older sibling, Tasca da Esquina. But don’t let the names fool you. These are hardly ordinary corner restaurants. Here the menu is divided into five main categories: classics (like octopus carpaccio), marinated, cured, petiscos<\/em><\/a> (typical Portuguese shared plates), and grilled and braised. It’s uniformly delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Cervejaria Liberdade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the dining room is nowhere near as rustic as Ramiro, the new seafood restaurant<\/a> at the five-star Tivoli Avenida Liberdade hotel stays true to cervejaria<\/em>-style flavors. A long counter displays the goods: gooseneck barnacles from the Berlenga Islands, Algarve prawns, mini lobsters from Cascais and Aveiro Lagoon oysters. For the business lunchers who want something more international, the chefs also make sushi and ceviche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Sea Me Peixaria Moderna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps best known for the octopus hot dog at its Mercado da Ribeira<\/a> location, the contemporary Sea Me<\/a> doesn’t take itself too seriously. The cooking is part typical Portuguese and part Japanese influences. The quality, though, is serious, as seen in the big display of fresh fish and seafood in the dining room in the Chiado<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Gambrinas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A local institution for nearly 80 years, Gambrinus<\/a> has hosted dozens of national and international personalities, artists and politicians. The vibe is old-world and comfortable, with the last renovation completed in 1964. Likewise, the cuisine includes throwbacks such as turbot in court-bouillon<\/em> (aromatic broth), and traditional fish stew.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
