We're heading to Lisbon at the end of January. All the recommendations I find for barnacles are for a place called Cervejaria Ramiro, but I was wondering if anyone knows where else they might be on the menu a little closer the old town center? Or maybe at the Time Out Market? We're staying in Bairro Alto.
Obrigado
You could maybe find them at the Time Out Market. Back behind the stalls that surround the center court area are several eateries with seats at the counter, and maybe a few tables. Several of these specialize in seafood.
We had these at a large seafood restaurant on the coast after taking a driving tour of the Sintra area. We were told by our guide that you need to make sure the restaurant serving them guarantees they are fresh. Even though these were they were still gross looking, very chewy and not something I would go out of my way to find. The large shrimp were wonderful!
I had those at this place:
Honestly it would be a shame to miss Ramiro. Beyond the percebes it is a shellfish extravaganza like no other. Jumbo tiger prawns, garlic clams, spider crabs and more. Only 10 or 15 minutes by uber/bolt from your location.
This is my favorite seafood restaurant in Lisbon.
It's probably the oldest ( founded in 1836) and best known by the locals.
