Food quality is frequently praised, with Chef André Cruz utilizing local suppliers to create innovative interpretations of traditional dishes, including notable vegetarian options.

YŌSO

★ Michelin€€€Japanese

This spot is somewhat hidden away in the Alcântara district, and its name bears a certain mysticism; not without reason, as it alludes to the four elements of nature (Earth, Water, Fire and Air). Brazilian chef Habner Gomes, well supported by José Balau as dining room director and sommelier, offers a Japanese-inspired proposal in the kaiseki style, presenting a single omakase tasting menu that reveals extensive expertise and extreme refinement, as the dishes are plated with the utmost attention to detail. It features a comfortable sushi counter for ten diners, and goes beyond the usual raw cui

YŌSO in Andernach is a highly-rated Japanese restaurant praised for its food quality, featuring tasty sashimi, yakitori, and ramen. Some reviews highlight a fusion with Scandinavian influences, emphasizing ingredient freshness and natural flavors. Service is generally described as pleasant, relaxed, and attentive, allowing for a leisurely dining pace. The atmosphere is cozy but intimate, with some noting the small space can feel crowded. A significant drawback mentioned is the lack of air conditioning in summer, leading to uncomfortable heat for both guests and staff. While most find the value good, a minority felt some menus were overpriced or lacked expected flavor intensity. It suits those seeking authentic Japanese cuisine in a casual setting.

Bib Gourmand 2

Canalha

Bib Gourmand€€Farm to table, Portuguese

Chef João Rodrigues’s concept, located in a residential area, harks back to the neighbourhood restaurants of the past, yet retains the essence of a bistro. Sitting at the counter and watching the kitchen bustle contributes to a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. Here, the focus is on the products — displayed in a showcase at the entrance — prepared simply, offered at accessible prices, and presented in a sharing format. A blackboard displays the daily lunch specials and, in addition, an appealing menu. Whether it’s the succulent open prawn omelette with onion, the iconic squid dish with sheep’s b

Pigmeu

Bib Gourmand€€Portuguese

A few metres north of the leafy Jardim da Parada, in Lisbon’s Campo de Ourique district, there is a very simple restaurant where… the cooking and character matter far more than comfort! Everything revolves around pork (which partly explains the name of the place), a product that Chef Miguel Azevedo Peres and his executive chef Alexandre Ballarin uses in its entirety, from snout to tail. On the menu, you will find the house classics, such as Torresmo do Rissol (crispy pork crackling), Croquetes do Pigmeu (Pigmeu croquettes), and the popular Bifana Porcalhona (a hearty pork sandwich), along with

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 80 reviews

Pigmeu in Lisbon specializes in an all-pork concept, utilizing a 'nose-to-tail' approach. With an average TripAdvisor rating of 4.1/5, guests frequently praise the high food quality, particularly the black pork, croquettes, and unique tasting menu items like ears and legs. The atmosphere is described as cozy and original, while service is generally noted as friendly and informative. However, negative reviews highlight inconsistencies, including slow service, unfriendly staff, noisy environments, and occasional issues with dry or greasy dishes such as the Bifana.

Recommended for pork lovers willing to try unique whole-animal dishes, with advice to review specific item textures beforehand.

O Frade

€€Regional Cuisine

This small corner establishment, located by the impressive Museu Nacional dos Coches (with royal carriages from the 16th to 19th centuries), is certainly charming, as it recreates something of the typical atmosphere of Alentejo taverns, with simple decorative details alluding to the process of making the famous “vinho da talha,” a historical wine produced in large clay amphorae following Roman tradition, now a regional classic. Inside, with a U-shaped counter surrounded by stools, they offer a small menu of traditional Alentejo dishes, such as razor clams in a garlic and wine sauce (à bulhão p
