Esplanada Marisqueira A Antiga
Since 1957, the oldest shellfish house in Matosinhos
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded in 1957 with its own seawater tanks, this is the elder statesman of the Matosinhos seafood belt, a short walk from the beach. The kitchen runs the full register of Atlantic shellfish, from gooseneck barnacles and tiger shrimp to lobster, and the house açorda de lagosta is the dish to know.
Editor's Tip
Old-guard service and a terrace; come hungry and order from the live tanks. Open daily.
