Cervejaria Ramiro ★ 4.7
Cervejaria Ramiro in Lisbon: a 1950s seafood hall on Avenida Almirante Reis where goose barnacles, tiger prawns and clams come straight off the boat.
OrderAmeijoas a Bulhao Pato then a prego no pao to close.
A loose, soupy seafood rice cooked in a tomato-and-shellfish broth, layered with prawns, clams, mussels and crab claws, finished with coriander.
Arroz de marisco came up the Atlantic coast from Aveiro and the Setubal peninsula in the 1960s, hitting Lisbon menus by the 1970s with prawns, clams and crabs drawn from the Tagus estuary. The Lisbon version stays soupier than the Spanish paella tradition, the rice cooked just past al dente in a tomato-saffron-coriander broth, and Solar dos Presuntos's wine-list bible recommends the dish over any other on the menu.
