Aqui Há Peixe

We stoped by for dinner and were surprised by quality of food. Almost everything we got was very fresh and good ( almost is because I don’t like chocolate, personally) staff was friendly and helpful . I wish there was some background music, otherwise it’s a fabulous place to eat in Lisbon. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious and tasty. I had an octopus salad and rice with squid and shrimp. I also had a nice spot next to the window. The only thing I noticed was that the waitress gave me a strange look, and the price is quite high. Bread, olives, olive oil, and water are all charged.

This restaurant was once one of Lisbon’s great fish institutions. Today, it is little more than a hollow imitation, trading shamelessly on a name and image that no longer belong to the people cooking the food. The place has been sold, yet the new owners cling to the old reputation like a life raft. The menu still proudly lists a chef who clearly no longer cooks here, while the actual kitchen appears to be run by someone who cannot even afford — or perhaps recognise — decent fish. The squid and octopus tasted unmistakably frozen: rubbery, watery, and devoid of any trace of freshness. The squid rice was drowned under a copious salad, as if volume could compensate for quality. It couldn’t. I have never had such a disastrous octopus rice, nor an octopus salad so lifeless, nor a squid dish so thoroughly wrong in both flavour and execution. To make matters worse, the level of cleanliness — particularly in the toilets — was deeply questionable, which does little to inspire confidence in a restaurant that once prided itself on freshness and care. What remains is a lie dressed up as tradition: the same name, the same branding, but none of the competence or integrity that once justified them. This is not continuity; it is appropriation. If you are coming for what this restaurant used to be, save yourself the disappointment. The memory is far better than the reality now served at the table

MUST GO IF UR HERE!!! The food was delicious the fish had the perfect amount of salt and was cooked quite well. The entre of clams were very big and they tasted amazing! Service was very quick! The chocolate cake I had tasted just as good as it looks. One of the things i loved here though was the scenery! There are beautiful stone covering the place and the lights give it a very at home feeling. The white fish’s name is bob.

Excellent food. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We turned up early when they were just opening and managed to get a table. We had Octopus salad and a green salad to Starr, then I had the fish of the day, which was a grouper slice, with potatoes and green beans. My wife had Seafood Rice in Squid ink. All excellent.

Food was delicious. Our dining room area was empty and server seems to hover, felt like we were being watched. They were attentive. Very bright lights and no real vibe and I don't recall any music.

Awesome place most authentic portugees cuisine lovely and friendly staffs. Tried some of their Catapalana, one of the must try dish here in the house 🏠. I was assisted and welcomed by him. Subash a great recommender and a friend. Obligardo

Fresh!!! Fantastic! Not a tourist trap! A typical, local place. Definitely for fish lovers.

First dinner in Lisbon and it was great. I ordered the sea bass which is for two so I shared the dish with my friend. It was a whole fish that was spilt between the two of us accompanied by potatoes and vegetables. The fish was great! I ate it all up, couldn't get enough. I highly recommend for there fish dishes. My friend had the lemon ice cream with prosecco for dessert and loved it.

This was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. It's cozy inside but not cramped and the low arched ceiling adds a nice touch. We had the octopus salad and baby squid to start and finished with vanilla ice cream with figs.

Grilled sea bass for two was fantastic! Very fresh and flavorful. Would highly recommend a reservation.

In A Nutshell: -If I lived in Lisbon, I would come here often. -Super seafood Portugeuse & Brazilian-style. -5 star service. -Very warm, home decor w/ splashes of luxury & prestige throughout. -The spiny lobster are to die for: FINGER LICKING GOOD. Overall, a superb seafood restaurant!

The food and service was so good. It was really nice to see the owner walking around. It seemed like the team really cared about the food and making sure that we had a really nice meal. Absolutely loved it and all the little details.

Bad service , nice atmosphere, nice interior, the food is definitely not outstanding , a little bit over average. The anchovies and the octopus salad were disappointing. Without passion. Kr Andreas

My husband and I came here for the second time, while on our honeymoon, after having a delicious meal of black risotto (arroz negro) with seafood and saffron mayonnaise. We've been dreaming of this dish for the past week and a half while we traveled around Portugal! As usual, we ordered an appetizer and an entrée to share. This time, however, when we got our bill, we saw that we had been charged for two portions of our seafood stew (after clarifying that we were sharing one portion, upon ordering). We had also been charged 6 Euros for two carafes of house water, from the tap, after asking for "tap water." For our last meal in Portugal, we'd been hoping to have a delicious but not extravagant meal. Unfortunately, our bill was double what we'd budgeted for, and we had a great deal of seafood leftover that we were unable to pack up to go as we are going to the airport in the morning.

After several good fish-based meals in Lisbon we found the Aqui open and waltzed right in. The meal was superb, each dish (baby squids, king prawns and tuna steak) just as good as one can hope to have. Excellent service, attentive and professional. Will be back.

This is an old school type of European restaurant. We sat in the front room and the other table was two locals who smoked literally during the entire meal. This is totally something we are not used to and it put a damper on the meal. The food was okay (it was one of the few restaurants that served vegetables with the entree). Some of our party's dishes were fresh like the monkfish in buerre blanc, but the tuna and the grilled grouper tasted fishy (not so fresh). The servers were very nice, but unfortunately since the restaurant experience is mostly about the food, it was a disappointment.
