Food was visually appealing, but the octopus with sweet potato had a very off putting sweetness to it and the tuna was overcooked and the veggies were bland. We had great service, just unfortunately didn't love the food. read more

Our lunch at Baixamar was superb. As like other restaurants, there's an option to sit outside and with the extreme heat, our party decided to take it indooors. You can feel some AC but not as much as we wanted to cool off. Anywho.... We started with oysters and gambas. The oysters were fresh and ohh so good. We enjoyed our entrees and highly recommend the octopus entree. No complains on the service, we were well taken cared of. read more

It was a late Saturday evening in July. Lisbon is bumping. I'm looking for a spot for dinner and wanted to try a seafood spot on my list to find that they were no longer taking walk-ins. I walk 5 minutes further and find another one closed. I walked another 10 minutes to Baixamar which is also on my list, but hadn't wanted to try as it was further away than anticipated. They're open and I snag the last table outside, getting to people watch and enjoy the evening breeze. The server is very helpful sharing which green wine is dryer. He also warned me when I over ordered, suggesting that the small plates are actually quite small so I landed on the octopus and side salad. The octopus is grilled well and has a sweet potato puree on which it sits, a delicious complement to the squid. There were a few pieces of broccoli and cauliflower. Everything is seasoned perfectly. The side salad had a hint of lemon juice. I enjoyed the brief conversation with the server and glad I found a spot on a late night. The food also came out fairly quick, so an added bonus after nearly an hour of looking around for dinner. read more

Baixamar - Octopus, side salad, & vino verde - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Top tier experience. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was clean and bright. Outside patio also nice for good weather. Didn't wait long to be seated or to eat. This was our first meal in Portugal and we loved every single thing we ate. We aren't normal dessert people, but cause the food was 5 stars in flavor, Presentation and quality, we had to try the desserts as well. We def aren't disappointed in the least. Matter of fact. We tried their sister restaurant Maria catita the next day, as well as their wine bar the family owns. read more

First of all shout out to every restaurant in Lisbon for being so kind to my toddler. This pasta was deceiving delicious. The sauce was perfectly salted and flavorful with parsley sprinkled in. The seafood was fresh and a good variety of mussels, clams, shrimp, and a razor clam. I wish all of my seafood had opened but just a couple of clams were still closed so I let it slide. Overall it was hot and fresh and everyone enjoyed their meal. read more

We got the Seafood Platter with a lobster. AHHHHMAZING. So much food for a reasonable price. Everything was so well seasoned and fresh! Wait staff was friendly and food came out decently quick. Was fun staring down the lobsters in the tank while chowing down. They gave us extra napkins and cleansing towlettes between the scenes of carnage which were very needed. It was really hot when we went in July and not really airconditioned. We also had a hard time getting a water refill. Forgot how much we paid but it was worth it, 10/10 definitely go torment their lobsters read more

The first leg of my nine-week European backpacking adventure brought me to Lisbon, Portugal, a city nestled into picturesque hillsides and steeped in vivid hues. My traveling companion and I made a rule early on in this excursion that we would resolve to try the local cuisine in each of our destinations, and I couldn't help but be excited about what little treasures I'd unlock in pursuit of this objective. I was so delighted to find myself in a country I had never before stepped foot in, hearing a language that had never graced my ears, taking in a cityscape unlike any other I had ever laid eyes upon. During long walks traversing Lisbon's desperately uneven terrain, I made a habit of perusing menus posted outside each establishment. Having made the decision to transition to a pescatarian diet at the age of nine, my seafood-loving self was almost instantaneously intrigued. The fruit of the sea has always held a special place in my heart as well as my palate, and I was so excited to taste what the Iberian Peninsula had to offer. One afternoon, after having spent a while basking in the sun by the water with the signature red cheeks of a tourist who had forgotten her sunscreen, I stumbled upon Baixamar. The restaurant was hidden under a semi-discrete blue awning, tucked away on a cobblestone street awash in people enjoying colorful drinks at happy hour. Upon crossing the threshold, my dining companion and I were seated directly next to a tank of live lobsters. We ordered a sparkling red fruit sangria to take the edge off, which was stunning both in its appearance and its flavor. Garnished with a cinnamon stick and mint leaves, the beverage reminded me of everything I loved about Lisbon itself -- the energy, the vigor, and the liveliness of it all. As my main dish, I opted for the salmon with coconut black rice, which came plated alongside an incredibly light, almost foamy sauce of lemongrass. The entrée was a gorgeous fusion of bright, quasi-tropical flavors and the grounding earthy notes, seamlessly satisfying my late afternoon cravings. My acquaintance selected the cuttlefish ink linguine, which came topped with a stunning assortment of shellfish and other seafood. If you find yourself in Lisbon, I can't recommend Baixamar enough -- drop by for a midday drink or take a pause to enjoy a full plate. Seafood in a coastal city is something to be savored!

Fantastic seafood, and so great. My wife proclaimed that the oysters were the best she had ever eaten....ever ever! Everything was super fresh, flavorful and a great location also! read more

10 out of 10 out of 10. We waited a little longer than expected for our table but the waiter made up for it with quick service and a smile. I came with a group of seven, started out with passion sangrias and wine. We ordered a mixture of appetizers, tapas and main dishes. Everyone was happy with their selection ! The oysters were fresh and delightful, the garlic and brandy prawns had a nice little buzz to it:) and they made an adjustment for me with my dairy allergy. Other orders on the table were the mussels, black linguine, seafood risotto and steak. There were no complaints all around and the ambience was very pleasant. I will definitely be back before leaving Alfama read more

OMG! What a great find! You MUST head to this seafood restaurant on Rua dos Bacalhoeiros (Cod fishers' Street) just a couple of blocks NE of the Praça do Comércio and the Tagus River. There's construction in the street right now, but DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU! It has GREAT seafood at very moderate prices - take this from a retired couple on a budget. Santos and Francisco speak perfect English but they allowed me to use my modest Portuguese. Whatever language you use, you'll love the food. Look for the "Prato do Dia", the daily special. We chose the Frutos do Mar com Linguini Nero, Seafood with Black Linguini. You'll gobble it up and soak the fresh bread in the delectable olive oil/garlic sauce too. It comes with the bread and olives appetizer and a glass of house wine, ALL INCLUSIVE with Tax too for .....13 euros pp (about US $15 pp)!!!! The seafood plate brought back memories of a similar one my Sicilian grandfather made for Christmas Eve. And we were here around our US Thanksgiving and the streets were already illuminated with Xmas decor. Intimate and Unbeatable! Check it out! read more

Baixamar - Frutos do Mar com Linguini Nero - Seafood Near Me - Lisbon, 11

After being unable to get a seat at Maria Catita restaurant, we were walking around looking for a restaurant for lunch. Baixamar had exactly the seafood we were looking for, available seating, and was located right next door. The wait staff was super busy so it took a while to get menus. They seemed more interested in getting people in instead of serving the patrons. Similarly, when we asked for our bill, it took asking twice because the staff was worried about how to get 2 more patrons in when there were no empty tables (you can have our table if you give us the bill). We ordered the Portuguese mussels appetizer (€12) along with a tuna steak sandwich with a cuttlefish ink bun (€8) and a soft-shell crab sandwich with a curry bun (€8). The food was excellent. The mussels were tasty. The sauce was not overpowering or too salty. The tuna steak sandwich was my favorite. The tuna was perfectly seared on the outside and pink on the inside. The cuttlefish ink bun was tasty. It added a bit of sweetness to the sandwich that I enjoyed. The soft-shell crab sandwich was also excellent. The crab was juicy with every single bite. Although the curry bun was tasty, the flavor combination was unexpected. The sandwich is a bit messy because the soft-shell crab requires a little bit of force to bite. Overall, the food was great and I would come back. However, the service could be improved. read more

Friendly staff and good prices. Grilled fish was excellent so was the shrimp appetizer in a delicious sauce. Octopus was well below par. Great wine selection. Several of the desserts were ok at best so might want to skip them. read more

I'm telling you without a shadow of a doubt that this is hands down the best restaurant in Lisbon. Absolutely Amazing. Food, service, and the vibe was everything you could ask for. We were treated like family which is why we kept coming back. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Lisbon read more

Unfortunately, one of our least favorite meals of the trip. The salted cod in my dish was delicious but the shellfish were not washed properly and many were unbearably sandy. The server was kind and gave his recommendations but tended to sway to more expensive items, though the prices were, for the most part reasonable. The outdoor seating was nice. A big turn off is it being more Americanized and asking for gratuity at the end of the meal, something that we had yet to see on our trip. We wouldn't go back as there are thousands of other authentic Portuguese restaurants in Lisbon and this is, overall, just not it. read more

Baixamar was an easy spot due to the location next to our hotel. Food was good but not outstanding in comparison to most hole in the wall European restaurants. Definitely designed for the tourists. Our server was very nice until the end almost demanding a tip from us due to being from the US. He was hovering over and wouldn't leave till we gave him a tip. Some locals next to us were horrified! Was very uncomfortable and so sad this man felt the need to take advantage of my family and I. I feel sorry for him at the end of the day but I wouldn't recommend it at all. A better option is ManteMar by the water. Better food and much nicer service. Overall not worth your time or money to go to BaixaMar! read more

The passion fruit sangria was amazing and the food was delicious. For seafood, the food is very reasonably priced for good quality. We got drinks and 3 courses for a good price. Highly recommend!! read more

Where do I begin? Recommended to go here by hotel (Pestana). Perhaps error #1. Reservations at 1930 on a Tuesday night. Two of us: I order wine and my travel partner orders water. Waiter asks if he should bring a large water for both of us to share and we enthusiastically say yes. One small water arrives followed by a board of olives and three types of dip for the toasted bread. We assumed this was on the house since we did not order it. We eat the bread which was outstanding. The waiter comes by and asks if we want more bread, we say yes. Our salads arrive 10 minutes later. Meals were quite salty. 3/4 through mine, the waiter does not notice my empty wine glass. We ask for another. Upon review of the bill, we notice that we were charged almost €10 for the bread, olives and three dips which we did not order. We never got the large water and extra bread we were offered. I was livid but my travel partner suggested not doing anything about it. I do not recommend supporting this place. read more

This was our first meal in Lisbon and we were very pleased. We were given bread with three phenomenal sauces, one was an olive tapenade, shrimp butter, and some sort of tuna. Sounds weird but they were incredible. We ordered the mussels and the sauce was great. For our entree we ordered the fresh lobster which they catch fresh everyday. The service here was very impressive and the entire staff was extremely kind. We accidentally left our credit card there and it was later returned to our hotel by Felipe. Highly recommend this restaurant.... awesome food and even better service! read more

Such an amazing place to eat withe the nicest people. I had the seafood soup, which was delicious. The owner were so nice and welcoming

From seating through dessert, Baixamar proved to be 'the' find of our Lisbon adventure. Service -- friendly, efficient. Seafood -- fresh, flavorful and abundant. Drink -- well, that's up to you. Try the dessert, it won't disappoint. read more
