8.5/10Price is directed at foreigners . We locals feel robbed everywhere.. But overall the dishes were good I must be honest.

7/10The food was alright, and the service was fantastic. While the seafood platter was decent, we did enjoy several other tasty dishes at reasonable prices. Overall, the restaurant provided an okay dining experience for the price paid.

10/10Amazing restaurant! The food was amazing, seafood and fish were fresh and made perfectly. Waiters were attentive and even made a little show out of cutting our fish. We loved it!

5.5/10It's nice but unfortunately a tourist trap. The food was not bad way to overpriced. We got 30 percent discount and paid still over 102€.

10/10My second time eating at this restaurant with my husband and yet again it was amazing. Complements to the Chef and to the staff for recommending such great choices. Thank you to the manager Charlie for making sure everything was good and we were happy during our dinner. I have yet to see a manager do a better job at this restaurant than him. Service was amazing and prices matched the service and accommodation we received.

10/10Our holiday family dinner at this restaurant was exceptional! Accommodating 13 people effortlessly, the top-notch food was not only beautifully presented but also delicious. Charlie, our waiter, recommended a delightful wine that paired perfectly with our meal, making our evening unforgettable. Thank you to Charlie and the staff here!

4.5/10The food was good, but the dessert (ice cream) was awful. The service was poorly executed and it seemed as though they forgot us, even though there were only about four other parties in the restaurant. And the staff dropped dishes in the floor 3-4 times just during our dinner.

4.5/10We waited too long to be served and the night was not a busy one, just a few tables. Fish was OK but meat could definitely be better in quality and cooking - asked to do it again and they did it fast and a bit better. Maybe we chose an unlucky night but we were not happy. Bit too touristy maybe

9/10in the beginning the service was fine. However we were several times asked if we would be ready to order while still being in conversations and not even had a chance to look at the Menu. That’s why it felt a bit too pushy to us. A big plus, was that changes to dishes were no problem at all. And we loved the nice and comforting attitude. The vegetable (green beans & asparagus were a bit too overcooked and we missed a the feeling of freshness). The food came for our taste a bit to fast, since it was a dinner and we decided for an entree and a main course. So it would have been nice to have a little pause between courses. However the service was attentive and they really cared to make us feel comfortable. In the end however the waiting time to get the check was in comparison to the big rush in the beginning, more than slow which also didn’t make much sense to us. All in all we had better experiences at other restaurant…

9.5/10What an amazing meal we had! We ordered the seafood grill platter for two. Huge amounts of fresh seafood cooked to perfection! Could have fed four people. Service wasn’t great but being American I am sure I don’t understand how the Europeans let you relax!

7.5/10On a lovely square which would be lovely to sit outside in the summer. Food was ok, but very disappointed to pay so much for the special lobster cataplana - €30 extra for a tiny lobster! We should have had the regular seafood cataplana for €40!

About this restaurant
Localizado no emblemático Chiado, e mais exatamente no Largo do Carmo, encontra-se o restaurante/marisqueira Mar ao Carmo, que abriu portas no final de 2015 (e veio para dar cartas). Trata-se de um espaço moderno e elegante, de tons neutros, que convida a sentar e desfrutar de uma agradável refeição descontraída. Tal como o nome indica, a grande aposta do Mar ao Carmo são os mariscos e o peixe sempre fresco. E porque os olhos também comem, assim que entra pode contemplar o aquário onde estão as lagostas, os lavagantes e as sapateiras vivas - é só escolher! Para além disto, ainda tem a bancada que inclui os restantes peixes e mariscos, tais como as ostras, as gambas, as navalheiras, os carabineiros, a santola, o salmão, o lombo de atum, o robalo do mar, entre muitas outras especialidades. Mas caso esteja mais virado para as carnes, não passe ao lado do prego na frigideira, da bifana ou do bife do lombo. Venha conhecer o Mar ao Carmo, num almoço de negócios ou num animado jantar entre amigos.
