Stop Scrolling: This Lisbon Seafood Rice Is Worth the Wait (And the Hype)
Planning a trip to Lisbon and searching for that one unforgettable meal? Forget the tourist traps and head straight for the rich, authentic flavors of Portugal at Uma Marisqueira II (R. do Comércio). While this restaurant is the newer branch of a celebrated local establishment, it has quickly cemented its status as a must-visit spot in the city center.
The Crown Jewel: Arroz de Marisco
If you walk into Uma Marisqueira II and don't immediately see a steaming, vibrant pot of rice being carried through the dining room, you're not paying attention. The sole reason many locals and critics flock here is for the legendary Seafood Rice (Arroz de Marisco).
This dish is no ordinary paella or simple rice platter—it is a culinary masterpiece. The rice is cooked in an incredibly rich, flavorful broth that soaks up the essence of the sea, achieving a wonderfully creamy, risotto-like consistency. Each serving is packed with generous portions of fresh seafood, including large shrimp, crayfish, crab, and mussels. It’s an experience that truly defines Portuguese comfort food.
More Than Just Rice
While the Seafood Rice might steal the spotlight, the menu offers a strong foundation of authentic Portuguese cuisine. If you’re looking to explore further, you can enjoy other traditional seafood dishes like tender grilled octopus or the classic salted codfish, bacalhau. The entire atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, complete with attentive service that makes you feel like a valued guest.
