Have you ever enjoyed a meal 120 metres up? Enjoy this experience at the magnificent restaurant in the Torre Vasco da Gama, an emblematic building that stands out on Lisbon’s skyline. Access is via a lift that takes exactly 50 seconds to reach the top, hence the name of the establishment. At the helm is chef Rui Silvestre, with a long track record in renowned restaurants and known as the youngest chef to win a MICHELIN Star in Portugal. His creative proposal comes to life through a single menu, entitled “Fauna e Flora” (choose between 11, 12 or 14 courses), which takes seafood as its central a
WebsiteChef Henrique Sá Pessoa’s flagship, which has taken a new direction after changing both name and location (it used to be called Alma), elevates the culinary stage of the bucolic Páteo Bagatela, midway between Jardim das Amoreiras and Parque Eduardo VII.In this appealing establishment, which surprises with an open kitchen at the back of the main dining room and a small counter (for two diners) offering a slightly more exclusive experience, every detail has been carefully considered, blending a welcoming feel with artistic motifs that evoke the ocean. The culinary proposal, which above all seeks
WebsiteLocated in the renowned Galerias Ritz at the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, Kabuki Lisboa was the first of the group’s ventures outside Spain. This is no minor undertaking given the close relationship the Portuguese have always had with the sea, and the fact that they were the first to establish contact with Japan! The space extends across three floors and boasts a sophisticated contemporary ambience that combines art and fine dining. On the lower floor, guests can enjoy cocktails, liqueurs as well as an “executive” menu; the main dining room is home to a sushi bar (sashimi, usuzukuri, nigiri
WebsiteBelcanto boasts a superb location in the Bairro Alto (Chiado) district popular with tourists, on a corner close to a former convent damaged by the large earthquake that devastated the city in 1755. In his culinary empire’s showcase gourmet restaurant, chef José Avillez offers a modern à la carte and a single tasting menu entitled Belcanto that takes guests on a journey of gastronomic discovery in a dining room divided into different spaces, alongside a chef’s table in the kitchen. Avillez explains that all his dishes are influenced by Lisbon’s different light, its maritime shoreline and its di
WebsiteThere are some restaurants that exude positive energy – and this is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of them. The two monkeys after which it is named (and which are also depicted on the logo) refer, somewhat surprisingly, to the two chefs at the helm (Vítor Matos and Guilherme Spalk) and their approach to their work – at the same time as offering a high-quality culinary experience, they are also keen to entertain and have fun! This unique space, occupying the former wine cellar at the luxury Torel Palace Lisboa hotel, recreates, in stunning wood, the concept of a theatrical dining experience
WebsiteAt this restaurant, just a stone’s throw from the 18th-century Baroque Basílica da Estrela, they say they work with micro-seasons to maximise flavour and fulfil their zero-waste policy. Loco brims with surprises from the moment you step through the door, starting with its eye-catching, fully open kitchen and amplified by extensive design details that reflect the house’s creativity and character. Chef Alexandre Silva concentrates his entire culinary philosophy into a single surprise tasting menu of 16 “moments” or steps, inspired by Portuguese tradition yet in constant evolution and viewed thro
WebsiteThis 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
WebsiteChef José Avillez is one of the leading figures on the Portuguese gastronomic scene, who continues to enhance his legend through hard work and diversification across his restaurants. This small but welcoming venue, next door to his award-winning Belcanto, surprises both for its contemporary aesthetic (with an original library adorning both walls and joining at the ceiling) and for its culinary approach, creatively focused entirely on working with seasonal, organic, locally sourced vegetables — though that by no means prevents the dishes from being technical, tasty, and texturally spot-on.
