Penalva da Graça

A bustling cash only local spot serving some of the best seafood we had. The clams were incredibly fresh and juicy and covered in a garlicky sauce that was perfect for soaking up with bread. The fried shrimp were so flavorful especially with the rich juices in the head, and the cod was tender and well fried. A fantastic place for fresh & well-seasoned seafood that left us completely satisfied.

Very good local seafood restaurant. We visit Lisbon for 3 days and they are very friendly to tourists.Very nice staffs and boss and they serve us very well while we have a one year old baby but he still help us very well! Food is amazing although he recommended tiger prawns to us is over budget but it is still very tasty and full if cream, the meat texture is very firm which worth the price. We also ordered crabs, seafood rice and cod fish which all are very yummy. The size of seafood rice is very big for 3 adult. We pay for €11x finally we still think it is worth for it. They are honest and don't cheat tourist. Will recommend for my friends if they visit Lisbon.

Casual and very nice small eatery we found based on reddit recommendation. The male staff who serves us is very funny and friendly. We had dinner at 6.pm so we saw a lot of locals went there to have a beer and some seafood after work. Back to the food, we ordered clams with garlic butter and seafood rice for 2. Fresh seafood, cold beers, that's all we need 🤘. The price is also very reasonable, although they do not write the price for some dishes in the menu.

Absolutely fantastic dinner at Penalva da Graça! Service was amazing and the seafood some of the best we've had. Wonderful place to check out if you're in Lisbon.

Most of the experience was good, especially the black tiger prawns, which were excellent. However, the clams didn't seem fresh, and the one in the picture even made our mouths full of sand. We brought this up with the waiter, who took one look and walked away as if nothing had happened. I'm not sure why, but it's probably a common problem with seafood.

My fault because I didn't see, it was an only cash restaurant, so I had a little discussion about it. But the food wasn't so good as I expected and prices are high, I paid 46.5€ (through a wire transfer Because I didn't have enough cash or my card with me, I pay with my phone). For clams, 5 sardines, one tiger shrimp and a little bottle of water it seems a little higher. Plus when I ordered the waiter told me "are u ordering too much food?" And told me they didn't have grilled shrimps but I saw people who ordered after me having plates of shrimp. Didn't love sardines 'cause the sardines still had their innards and were not cleaned inside. But tiger shrimp was good and also the butter sauce.

This is a very traditional seafood place. You can tell that more than half of the customers are locals and recurring. You can feel a lot of familiarity in the place, everybody knows each other. It’s really an incredible experience. The quality price relationship is insane. It’s cash only, so be prepared. Very worth visiting in and going as much as you can. Service could improve a lot, because it’s not good at all… I suppose it’s part of the charm

Do not miss this place if you're in Lisbon! It is off of the beaten path and hidden away. The seafood is incredible.The service is friendly and helpful. We had sea snails that tasted like the ocean. (The owner dared us to try them because we never had them before). The seafood is fresh and delicious. The place is always packed with people. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait or come back another time. Before we leave Lisbon, we will be back again!

Simple, Fresh, Friendly- everything you want in a great fish restaurant ! I had a deliciously messy meal here of the Arroz com Mariscos. Everything tastes like it was was in the sea yesterday morning. The table next to me had a huge plate of mixed seafood that I would like to order next time - it looked amazing!
