Belcanto is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant located in the historic center of Lisbon, in the Chiado district. It is the flagship restaurant of chef José Avillez, who offers a contemporary and creative interpretation of Portuguese cuisine.
Belcanto’s menu reflects Portugal’s rich and diverse heritage and the chef’s personal vision and inspiration. The dishes are elegant and artistic, with surprising textures, flavors, and aromas.
Belcanto has two tasting menus: the Classic Menu and the Evolution Menu. The Classic Menu features some of the most iconic and emblematic dishes of Belcanto, such as the “Dip in the Sea,” the “Garden of the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs” and the “Mandarin.” The Evolution Menu showcases the chef’s latest creations and experiments. Both menus can be paired with a wine selection that includes some of the best Portuguese and international wines.
Belcanto also has a unique and exclusive place: the Chef’s Table. It is a private room inside the kitchen where you can watch the team’s work and enjoy a customized menu accompanied by a wine menu suggested by the sommelier. The Chef’s Table is an immersive and unique experience that allows guests to interact with the chef and his team and witness the magic behind the scenes.
Belcanto is not only a restaurant but also a sensory and emotional journey. It is a place where tradition and innovation meet, art and gastronomy blend, and the past, present, and future coexist. Belcanto is a celebration of Portuguese culture and identity and a tribute to the chef’s passion and creativity.
