Ribas Marisqueira — Restaurant in Mafra

One of the absolute best seafood restaurants in Ericeira. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring everything was just right throughout the meal.

We ordered the arroz de marisco, and it was nothing short of divine. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it was overflowing with fresh shellfish and infused with all the depth and aroma you hope for in this traditional Portuguese dish. Every bite was a reminder of how incredible local ingredients can be when prepared with care and expertise.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience—cozy yet elegant, with a relaxed coastal vibe that complements the cuisine perfectly. This place strikes a beautiful balance between authenticity and refinement.

Highly recommended to anyone visiting Ericeira, whether you’re a seafood lover or simply looking for a memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be...

First off, you have to REALLY like shellfish to go here.

To us, everything tasted like sea water and that was it. So my advice - stick to the rice dishes, fried food, or buy individual items that you know you like. Don’t assume “seafood” means fish - here it means “things...

Horrible experience at this restaurant. Despite having a reservation, they made us wait for an hour and then extended the wait by another 30 minutes. To make matters worse, they eventually gave our table away to another group who had booked a day earlier. Other people with bookings also had to walk away because of the restaurant’s overbooking issue. The staff displayed a condescending attitude throughout the ordeal, making us feel undervalued as customers. Their reasoning for the delays was that people were staying longer, but it’s evident that it’s simply a case of poor overbooking management. Such unprofessional behavior and disrespectful treatment of customers are unacceptable. I strongly advise against dining here unless you enjoy wasting your time and being...
