Thought this place had a very unique, creative, and delicious menu. I get why there's so much buzz around this restaurant lol We arrived early for dinner service as we didn't have a reservation, and waited about 15 minutes. They have an open window like a drive through, where a mixologist is making drinks for those waiting outside on the street, and for ppl inside the restaurant. The restaurants seats about 10 at the bar area, and then one row of tables for about 20 people. We ordered 5 dishes for the two of us, and 4 def would have been enough lol. We ordered ** curry tuna ceviches: very good ** white fish ceviche: very good ** the surf and turf burger: good **octopus: ok, tender, not sure about bbq sauce **mash potato samplings w different fish: very good read more

This was my favorite meal during my travels in Portugal, and one of my favorite Peruvian-style restaurants. I read about the long wait so my husband and I arrived around 5pm and were seated right away. It's a small restaurant so I don't recommend coming with a big group. When we first arrived, there were a few people standing outside having drinks so I thought we'd have to wait. But it turned out that they were actually only having drinks. The pisco sours are delicious (but quite small). Everything we ate was so delicious AND beautifully presented. The lighting is also perfect for those who love to take pictures of food. The service is excellent and the servers are very knowledgeable about each dish. The portions are pretty generous to share with 2 people if you order 4 items. The prices are so reasonable because I felt like I was being served food from a $$$$+ restaurant. The environment is casual and trendy, yet intimate. I would definitely eat here again on a future trip and recommend this to anyone visiting Lisbon. read more

Yum! This was one of my favorite meals of my trip. The complimentary corn bread was delicious and we loved the Peruvian corn as well. We started with the ceviche pura, which was delightfully tart with lime and little blobs of a delicious savory sweet potato puree which balanced out the acidity of the lime. The tuna ceviche was made with a coconut milk base and it was divine. This was probably one of my most favorite dishes ever. We also got gazpacho. It was bright and fresh and the texture was really enjoyable because of the tapioca. There were a bunch of quinoa dishes on the menu and I was skeptical but we went for it anyway. We got the quinoa with peas, ham, and scallops and I loved it. The quinoa was cooked like a risotto so it was really creamy and tasted great. The scallops had some kind of parmesan crust, which was unexpected and delicious. The grilled octopus was insanely tender and served on top of a squid ink potato puree. It was indulgent. We also got the surf and turf sandwich, which was made with pork belly and shrimp. It was v. indulgent and I want to eat this for lunch every day. The staff are really cool and friendly. Be prepared to wait a while to get a table though, as it's a really popular place. Put your name down, grab a drink, and hang out outside. read more

Such an amazing experience. Great food. Kind service. Cool atmosphere. We did the tasting option and loved everything. There were six servings. My favorites were 3 and 4, a sweet fruit and salmon ceviche and an octopus and potato purée. Innovative and fun. Don't miss it. read more

This place attracts quite a queue. Chef Kiko made quite a statement for the feel to the place by hanging a giant octopus above the bar, spreading its tentacles over the bar sitters. No reservations taken, so will just have to add your name to the list and hope the wait is less than an hour!! Chefs background from Latin America shines through in his love for ceviche. His dishes are inventive and tasty. read more

Very trendy and expensive. The food is innovative and impressive, and the service is excellent. (Why only 3 stars? Expensive and the negatives are annoying.) We had: * Tuna ceviche - tuna tartare, lemon grass, coconut, lime, tapioca. * Taco - beef tartare with radish mayo. * Polvo - BBQ - octopus, potato pure, tomato, jalapeño, onion, micro greens. * Rubino vinho branco (€22) + Trendy, hefty flatware - Robert Welch ( https://www.robertwelch.com ) + Wi-Fi + Cloth napkins + Marble tables - Cramped seating. 24 seats in a small space. - You always have to wait. It is that popular. I would suggest coming here from 1615-1745) - You feel rushed to eat and leave. Not by the waiters, but by the overall atmosphere. €68.60 for lunch. read more

An amazing first meal in Lisbon. The complexity of the flavors was lovely. A small place, with an incredibly helpful staff. The tuna tartare was delicious, and the barbecue octopus was so tender. We weren't disappointed with any aspect. read more

Quite amazing! You know the seafood is fresh when you see the lobster on display trying to make an escape! We came here for a quick snack before dinner, my girlfriend and could only fit it in this way! Ordered the tasting menu to share, and was really blown away by the ceviche. The other dishes were all very unique as well, but I would definitely recommend anyone in the mood for good ceviche to just order it a la carte off the menu! Would definitely come back if I were in Lisbon! One of the best meals during my trip read more

Small place, amazing ceviches. We had the tasting menu. Everything was delicious. And my friend has gluten allergy, they accommodated the whole menu for her accordingly. It was awesome. The only thing is they don't take reservations, so get there early or plan to wait a bit for a table. The upside you can get drinks from the window while waiting for a table. read more

A friend recommended this place as being the best place in Lisboa. I was not disappointed. Just incredible ceviche and service. We just shared 3 dishes so we could try some of everything. It was all fantastic, each dish with its own character. Trust your servers recommendation and try something you might normally not eat! read more

We went for lunch with some friends and left very impressed. We ordered 6 varieties and they were all fantastic. The vibe was casual but the experience was fine dining in a laidback and unpretentious setting. Go there soon! read more

Way over rated! Can't believe I waited in line for hours getting this kind food. They make seafood in an innovative way. But the food is not tasty, at all! We ordered 4 dishes and all of them contains sweet potatoes. Fish and octopus taste flat. The restaurant has good vibe but that's all. Do not recommend it. read more

First off: make sure you get to this place on time! If you're here after 19:00, there is a good chance you'll have to wait in line. We waited in line for over an hour, but the food was definitely worth it! My wife and I took the 6 course tasting menu and it was glorious. My personal highlight was the grilled octopus, but both ceviches were great too. Worth the wait! read more

It's very relaxing and tasty restaurant as the name said specialized in ceviches! Amazing for a summer lunch in Lisbon with a good white wine! Do not hesitate to taste all their ceviches as their are very tasty! It's a very small place and usually have a line waiting to seat so do not be in a hurry if you go there ;) read more

I've never been to Europe, I don't know much Portugese, and I was starving after traveling for about 10 hours. I love ceviche, I've had my share here from the east to the west coast, but NOTHING compares to what I've experienced at A Cevicheria. I came at 7pm, the place was crowded and there was a line waiting around the front door. I placed my name on the list with the host and hoped for the best. If you read nothing else after this sentence, let me tell you... IT'S WORTH THE WAIT. I stood outside and people watched and enjoyed multiple pisco sours, perfectly made by the handsome bartender (seriously, this guy and the host could have been CK models). I was alone, but felt like everyone waiting outside was super friendly and the host checked in once or twice to remind me I would be seated soon. I had nothing to do and did not know anyone so I continued to wait... After a while I got a seat in the most perfect spot, the last seat at the bar between the kitchen and the dining room. I watched the sous perfectly plate everything and present it to the chef... which was either approved or perfected. I was starving and after watching the sous/chefs present plates that could have been art, I decided to order the 6 course tasting. The server, Anna, was so nice and explained each plate in great detail. My favorites are as follows: Razor shell ceviche with green apple and tapioca: clean, bright, fresh. Served in a beautiful conch shaped dish. Who would have thought to put tapioca in ceviche? The texture it added was awesome. Octopus with ink mashed potatoes: the most tender and well loved octopus that may have swam the ocean. It prepared its whole life to be a part of this dish. (Joking) but seriously it was well prepared and cooked to perfection. Not rubbery. Inked mashed potatoes were a first for me, it added a perfect amount of salt to the mash. and the ceviche puro: if you're a strict, no nonsense (read unadventurous) ceviche person this is for you. Firm White fish, bright flavors, with mashed sweet potatoes piped with a skillful hand/eye to make you eat with your eyes first. I liked this place so much, when my friend met me in Portugal, I took him here. CHEF KIKO, keep doing great things... I also went to O Talho, his other restaurant. read more

Ceviches were super fresh, I personally prefer my ceviches moist with some liquid at the bottom but not sitting in a plate of liquids as it is here (personal preference). The ceviches here were creative and beautifully plated. Staff were casual, friendly and informative. Atmosphere is casual with great music playing in the background- super small cozy venue. Great for a afternoon glass of wine and meal. read more

Amazing! Arrived around 7pm and waited approximately 30 minutes in their outdoor waiting area. The restaurant is quite small so expect a wait unless you arrive right at opening. Ordered the chef's tasting menu so that I could try as much as possible. Every course was amazing! My mother ordered the tuna ceviche and the pork belly and shrimp sandwich, she loved both. A must try in Lisbon (assuming you like seafood!) read more

I was desperate to go to this place while in Lisbon. After showing up on a Monday night with an hour wait and not feeling so hot, I abandoned ship. Upon returning to Lisbon at the end of my trip I was determined to right the wrong. Showed up to A Cevicheria around 545/6 pm and was quoted a 45 minute wait for 2. Had a delicious (seriously) pisco sour from the window and was sat within 20 minutes! Got the pure ceviche, tuna ceviche, and portuguese ceviche as well as the bbq octopus and the steak tartare taco. If i were to return I would just order all 4 ceviches and call it a day. The bbq octopus was fine and the steak tartare taco was pretty good but ceviche (understandably) is really the standout here. I will be back. read more

Some of the best ceviche I've ever had. I recommend the Pure Ceviche but everything on the menu looked good. I also recommend a Pisco Sour as it was fantastic. The staff is very friendly and lend to the restaurant's great vibe. I'm only in Lisbon for 3 days but may go back for more! read more

Cerviche! The best I've had outside of Peru. All the right flavors, textures, mouth feel, the whole ball of wax, as it were. How delicious and refreshing, and there's more to come. Most wonderful fish I've had in a long time, and the service was helpful and attentive, and the prices are good, a great place to enjoy. read more

Just ok. Cool atmosphere but food was mediocre. Overpriced and trying to be fancy. We had much better meals for a better price. Waiters also push you to order more drinks and more food which was interesting. Haven't experienced that at other restaurants. read more

HYPE! We went here after a couple of recommendations and it was very close to our lodging...., very over priced food and pisco sours, huge wait times ...,.not the worst food I've ever had but for the price a huge miss.....don't go here....I have eaten ceviche a plenty and this is NOT what you want to pay so much for....the quinotto was a high point but the seafood itself was of relatively poor quality..... read more

Most creative ceviche I have ever tasted. Fresh and beautifully presented. Small space but loyal crowd of people willing to wait 2 hours to be seated. Great service and environment. read more

went for lunch on a wed at 12:30 and the entire bar was empty...only to completely fill up after 10 mins. i guess i was lucky. ordered the pure ceviche which was ok. a bit heavy on the vinegar but was otherwise an ok dish. my main was the crab meat which was composed of 3 bite size piece of alaskan crab and 3 bite sized tartar on endives with fish roe. the dish was ok in my books as i wish the flavour of the crab was highlighted a bite more. this place seems to use a lot of foams and creams to elevate their dishes. all in all a very good lunch and likely will go back! read more

I was very excited for this meal, but it was disappointing. It probably used to be special, but now it's too touristy for its own good. It was completely full with only tourists and the service was bad. There are many better, more authentic places to spend so much on dinner. read more

This is truly a gourmet delight. We shared 3 dishes and a desert and were in heaven with each dish. We shared the Portuguese ceviche, Tuna ceviche and a a ceviche with quinoa. Wonderful tastes, beautiful presentation. Restaurant has a great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and attentive. read more

A great place to enjoy fresh food made with love. We had to joy to sit on the bar so we could watch the cooks at their job. They explained a lot to us and everyone was doing their work with love. We had the original ceviche and the octopus ceviche along with some deserts and the house wine. Everything tasted very good and we'll definitely will come back once we visit Lisbon next time. Like suggested by others - make sure you arrive early or reserve some place otherwise you might have to wait some time. read more

Ate here on vacation. We tried so many things. Ceviche among the best I've had anywhere.

the only problem was getting to this place on a hot summer day, there were many inclines and steps we had to take from our location. we waited at least an hour but it was well worth it. this was my favorite meal in lisboa! highly recommend getting the tasting menu. the taste, presentation, and service were all on point here. you also got to see the chef creating some dishes. read more

OH MY F**** GOD the best food i had in my entire life! beautiful dishes, expensive but worth it! total rollercoaster of tastes of fish! so happy to have found that place! like drugs like thugs like love. go there. spend all your money and never forget it! read more

Indeed a must go to in Lisbon. Be ready to wait. Go put your name down, go to a local bar and come back. It is amazing the food. The creativeness, the attentiveness. The whole team makes the place an experience. Grab one (or three) of their signature cocktails! read more

A Cevicheria - The octopus is everything. - Gastropubs Near Me - Lisbon, 11

A life changing experience. Starting with the food: incredibly, fresh, artfully presented but in no way pretentious. Refreshing and filling and flavorful. We got the traditional ceviche and the barbeque octopus, and both were to die for. However, the real treat was the overall good vibes, the amazing staff -- even the head chef was incredibly friendly and personable! One of the servers, Kiko, lit up the room and made every customer feel like they were special. This is on the pricier side of dining out in Lisbon, but if you have a chance to go, please do! read more

The tasting menu was out of this world. First three cold ceviche courses were the best seafood dishes I've had in the longest time. Small place, but the staff kept people moving without feeling rushed. Awesome decor, delicious food and amazing service. read more

Great tasting menu for seafood lovers however was expensive 45€ per person for the level of service and atmosphere of the restaurant. Left a lot to be desired. Drinks were expensive, 12€ for a gin and tonic and 10€ for other cocktails... read more

The tasting menu really was a delight. Sensation for the taste buds, from the ceviches to the BBQ octopus. The only downsides for me were the very hot temperature given the open doors when it was 40C/105F today, and the dessert tasting of peanut butter and dark chocolate. The wait is long. We showed up at 7:15, and the wait was an hour, given the small space. The tasting menu was very reasonably priced by our New York standards at 37,50 euros. Terrific meal! read more

The food is as pleasing to the palate as it is to look at. We started with a gazpacho with Mackerel - we were surprised that tapioca balls worked so well with this dish. We then enjoyed a grilled octopus dished served with black potatoes. The last dish was the best: a combination of mussels, delicious tender clams served with really delicious quinoa and fish foam. read more

Wonderful food!!! Just be prepared to spend a good chunk of cash. One person for lunch ends up being 50 Euro!! The water is 3-4 Euro, bread and butter is expensive, and the pisco sour that they push is 11 Euro each. So... if you refuse bread, don't drink water, and don't have a beverage or dessert, it's a pretty wonderful lunch! read more
