I love the seafood rice and seafood soup! And the fish is fresh!
Hope they can keep the quality and I will be back! 👍🏻

It’s a nice restaurant with good food and very attentive service. Issue is that price for value is a bit low - probably one of the more expensive octopus I have eaten in a while (at least cost for what you get). It is also pretty warm inside - which makes it uncomfortable.

A nice place and you won’t regret your meal, but I feel it could do better

The food is fantastic. We ordered the octopus and prawns rice and the cod. The rice dish is the best we ate in Lisbon. MD is our waiter. He is friendly and helpful. Come if you want to try an authentic Portuguese restaurant.

All the food was amazing! They serve very fast as well so you won’t waste your time
The staffs are very efficient and kind. We had octopus steak, seafood rice and shrimp past and our best choice was sea food rice. You will never regret to come here :)

My friends and I were looking for a place to eat and walked by O Castico. It looked like a really good place, since it was pretty full. We asked for a table, initially they said they wouldn’t be able to accommodate us. We started to walk away and got told to come back. They tried to fit us in and said it would be a 30 minute wait, so not too bad! They tried to get us in, since it was an hour before they were gonna close. Service was really good, as well as the food! The seafood paella was flavoured nicely, but it was a bit dry for my liking. I know paella can be made a variety of ways, but I still enjoyed it and ate the entire dish. We also really enjoyed the olives and bread. They have olive oil and vinegar on the table, if you wish to add more to any dish. What you really need to try is the red sangria! It was actually very good. The restaurant was still pretty full after closing, this just tells you how delicious the food really is.

I'm actually surprised about such a high rate of this restaurant. The place is quite ordinary. The food is below expectations... seafood soup had literally 2 mussels and 2 small shrimps. Otherwise you can call it bullion. Tomato salad is a shame.... 2 tomato cuts and few onion cuts on top... really?? Steak... I can't call it steak.. poor quality meet. The only reason I leave 3 stars as the staff was fine (still could be more emotional) and even offered small drink.

Cozy, small restaurant with delicious seafood. I happened to find this place when another restaurant blew us off and offered us no service. Came here twice, once for lunch and the other time for dinner, both times were very enjoyable!

I tried the Grilled Bream and the Seafood Rice and both dishes were delicious, The fish was grilled nicely, fish was still tender and the skin was crispy. The garlic on the side was a great compliment to the simple dish. Veggies were also really good! They are grilled and have a nice caramelized flavour. The seafood rice was packed with mussels, clams, shrimp and squid. It was light but very comforting. Sorta reminded me of a congee, but with a tomato base! Both these dishes are definitely worth trying.

Servers were also very friendly, some speak English. The menu also has English. One of the servers asked if I really liked the food because I cleaned off every bit of fish from the fish bones 😆 We were also offered some sherry to finish when we went in for dinner.

1. It took 20-30 mins to offer you the appetizer, we ordered the claims.p
2. The steak we asked for Medium, but we got nearly well done. After we complained, the gave us medium rare. Looks like we have different understanding for the Medium.
3. Paella is just so so.
