Since its establishment in 1958, Belcanto has had a legendary ring to it for serving up classic Portuguese dishes. This popular restaurant has only become better under the visionary Chef José Avillez, who took over the reins in 2012 and earned 2 Michelin stars. The diners set out on a journey to experience the pinnacle of contemporary Portuguese cuisine in the intimate set-up that offers a fantastic fine-dining experience. There are many delightful Portuguese dishes to be enjoyed. Açorda de bacalhau is a most delicious offering featured on the menu. The service is very welcoming, accommodating and attentive but not intrusive. Opt for the chef’s choice menu. It will not disappoint you but rather simply blow your mind away. Likewise, take the 9-course menu; every dish will be interesting, different and new. Every dish is a revelation. No doubt, this restaurant is an amazing experience. This is just the right place for any celebratory occasion.
Excellent tradition and a quality meal is what you will find in Gambrinus. The seafood has pride of place on the menu and there is an explanation on how to cook it. The quality is of course, unquestionable. The room is decorated in a refined style.
What began as a modest eatery serving home-style local cuisine in the Madragoa district transformed into a beautiful restaurant serving both local and international meals in a new location. The current restaurant is set in a beautiful seventeenth century convent, replete with a cobble-stoned courtyard and roaring fireplaces. The menu features some of the finest meat sourced from North Portugal, prepared with a Portuguese-Belgian influence. The indoor dining area is rustic yet refined, with arched windows looking out into the sun-drenched courtyard. During the warmer months, guests can experience the joy of dining under the stars in the cool air of the outdoor patio.
