We had reservations for a party of 2 on a Saturday at 6 PM. When you check in, they give you a slip of paper which has a QR code on it for you to access the menu later, and we were promptly seated upstairs. The menu is conveniently available in several languages (you select your language at the bottom of the main menu page). We were at a long table for 6, with us sitting on the inside and another couple sitting at the end, and the table settings in between us were cleared, so it didn't feel like we were on top of one another. I appreciated that the server gave recommendations that would be good for two people. We went with most of his recommendations (shrimps on garlic sauce (it's labeled as spicy, but it's really not), clams on garlic, tiger prawns grilled on bed of salt) and added some of our own (razor clams and lobster roll). All the seafood tasted fresh, bursting with flavor from the buttery garlic sauce, which we sopped up with garlic bread. The bread is brought to the table when you first get seated. It's not free, which I was aware of, but I knew it would go well with the dishes we ordered. The razor clams were juicy and sweet. The lobster roll was good, but not something I would order again when there's so many other fantastic seafood choices. I usually don't drink beer, but felt that it was appropriate since we were at a cervejaria, so I ordered a bottle of Sagres Bohemia. It went perfectly with the seafood. My SO, who doesn't drink alcohol, got peach iced tea. I wanted to get the prego sandwich for dessert, but my SO was pretty much full at that point, so I ordered a tarte whisky and a cappuccino for myself. The whisky ice cream layer in the tarte was nice and refreshing. I was shocked when we got the bill and it came out to less than 50€. This meal would have cost so much more in the US. You pay via tablet at the end and I left a generous tip in appreciation of the wonderful meal and service. They get you in and out of there quick, but it never felt like we were being rushed out. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some fresh, delicious seafood in Lisbon.

You check in and then they ask you wait in their waiting area next door which looks a little bare and the outside patio seems like a smoking area.

My favorites had to be the giant tiger prawn, razor clams, and the crab head, but everything was tasted good and the seafood tasted fresh. Would recommend!

The grilled octopus was butter soft and fresh fresh fresh! The camaron Mozambique was freaken out of this world. Deep fried prawns with garlic butter sauce... it was ridiculously delicious. The sauce was so damn good but honestly, the prawns were the star of the show. It was just so fresh and delicious. The pork dish was equally amazing. So so so good. The service was quick and the wait team was responsive. The restaurant was right by the water so we had waterfront view. Overall, highly recommended and would come back if we are back in Lisbon.

If this was in the US or elsewhere, I would give them three stars. I have learned that in Portugal, plainly cooked seafood is the norm. Sete Mares is located across from a hotel with a ton of tourists from out of the country. Their guests are a mix of locals, business partners, and tourists like me. We arrived without a reservation. After a few moments, we were seated just fine. Service is reserved but also 'commanding' with 'you should try this and that'. I am considering it as language difference. No biggie. The restaurant is sizeable with loads of seafood on display - very classic Portuguese style. The Food: Shellfish Bisque, 3.45€ - 3.5 Stars Shellfishy, somewhat bland, but also somewhat tasty, with several housemade croutons. It's good for a bit of warmth in the tummy. Sole A-Là-Meunier, 32.95€ - 4 Stars This preparation is French style, sauteed in butter and served with lemon. The fish is cooked just right. Hubby liked the lemony butter flavor. Grouper Grilled with Potatoes and Vegetables, 28.95€ - 3.5 Stars The grouper itself is cooked just right. The flavors are nonetheless lacking and too simple overall. But I did enjoy the quality of the fish itself.

The manager of the restaurant received me and was extra nice, he spoke to me in English and Spanish, so if you speak any of those 2 you are good. He recommended me some items on the menu here is what I chose: starter-favadas d' unha... (really big beans) one word to describe them DELICOUS... so that was a great start. For the main entree I got the Atum grelhado, which is a tuna filet (big portion) grilled and they put a home made butter on top that is out of this world.. this has been one of the best filets I have ever had. As soon as you arrive you get a platter with cheese, olives and the unbelievable home made butter, also a piece of freshly baked hot bread. He offered me some wines and ask me what region I wanted, I chose Duero.. wine was great too... The manager/server explained to me that it was a Restaurant from Açores which are a group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic that are part of Portugal, he even brought a book to show me Açores (he is from there). I also found out that his wife is the one in the kitchen! I told him tell her everything is delicious and he replied "I taught her good"... Overall a great experience and amazing food... do not hesitate coming here

Percebes were fine…read more Fried Octopus - we ordered because recommended by a waiter and a customer. But it was a let down. First of all, probably it's a mistake to order a "fried" octopus. The batter was soft, octopus was chewy. The bread broth comes with it did nothing. Sardine was off season so it was our mistake to order it. It was huge but a bit overcooked. Anyways we wasn't an enjoyable meal, especially right after we ate at Churrasqueira da Paz.

Waited about 45 minutes and were seated in the very back of the restaurant, which was much bigger than we initially thought. We were very close to other tables which was a bit concerning, but I take into consideration Portugal residents were more amenable to vaccinations than US citizens. Ordering was easy, I got a super bock beer and bacalhau. The food came out quickly enough and the bacalhau was delicious as usual but was in a deconstructed form. This may actually be how it comes and I've just had a different version I think is the original. Who knows? It's been very good every time I've had it, regardless of restaurant. Zapata was cool, just make sure you have time to waste at a restaurant.
