Standout dishes? The scallops accompanied by prawn ravioli and a delicate beurre blanc sauce, the sea bass with scarlet prawn served with roasted cauliflower cream, and the moist apple cake, drizzled with cinnamon chutney, nestled inside crispy puff pastry."

For dessert, a trolley is brought out with a few options to choose from. Our suggestion? If it’s available, try the Toucinho do céu, an almond-and-egg convent sweet, a spectacular finale!"

Dutch chef Roeland Klein’s passion for cooking was born from his father’s example, a chef of a Michelin‑starred restaurant in his home country. At the Lagos Avenida hotel’s restaurant, a few steps from the beach with a view over Lagos marina, you can choose to sit at the counter of the attractive open kitchen and watch the dishes being prepared, or enjoy the meal in the cosy glass‑walled dining room. With tasting menus — shorter at lunch and fuller at dinner — and à la carte options, the offering combines maritime flavours, such as grilled mackerel served with oysters, mussels and salmon roe, with outstanding meats, such as rib‑eye aged for 12 weeks, from José Gordon–El Capricho, considered a benchmark in the field. An ideal experience to share as a couple or among a group of friends!"

The menu is an ode to Portuguese cuisine with modern, innovative touches, including fresh fish, aged meats, plus a creative array of cocktails. To start, we recommend Mito’s signature mouthwatering matured ox croquettes with a chouriço mayonnaise, followed by a generously portioned 45-day-aged entrecôte steak. To finish, the Rabanada dessert, made with bananas from Madeira, pineapple from the Azores and a hint of citrus toffee is deliciously tempting – it’s hard to imagine a more perfect combination!"

It is divided into three elegantly decorated dining rooms with a glass-fronted wine cellar at the heart of everything, but it is the energy of the team here that is particularly impressive. The menu follows traditional lines with a few contemporary touches in dishes such as the sautéed alheira with apple purée, the grilled octopus with potato crumble, and the “priscos” pudding with tangerine and a citrus sorbet, none of which will disappoint."

Upon entering, you will see a display packed with fish and seafood well worth admiring.

As is expected from such an establishment, the menu includes dishes such as seafood açorda stew, various rice dishes, grilled fish and Bacalhau à Marinheiro. There are also excellent meat options, like a fine house-style kid goat or an irresistible picanha steak.

      "description_en": "Chef 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 to offer freedom of choice, takes shape in a short à la carte menu and three tasting menus: Encontros, Clássicos and Costa a Costa. Here, the idea is to rethink Portuguese cooking, updating it in technique and presentation, with refined aperitifs and truly delicious dishes (do not miss the Presa à alentejana (Alentejo-style black-pork loin), massa de pimentão (red pepper paste), molho “Bulhão Pato” - garlic-and-coriander sauce)."

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 axis, with a wonderful interplay of textures and flavour-packed garnishes. A fine example is the Polvo e beterraba (octopus and beetroot) dish, served with two sauces (one of yoghurt and herbs, the other masala-style). The chef masterfully incorporates distinct exotic spices that speak of his Mozambican and Indian roots!"

While Vila Joya’s setting makes an impact, both for its beauty and ocean views, Dieter Koschina’s offering warrants special mention, as this Austrian-born chef has succeeded in blending the fine craftsmanship of classic Central European cuisine with flavours and produce from Portugal — a country that captivated him over 30 years ago. Excellence is savoured in every bite, for beyond solid execution, he shows boldness and plays with unconventional flavours, at times introducing tropical fruits and Asian notes. The menu focuses on an à la carte format and two tasting menus that evolve monthly, although at lunchtime there is an additional daily-changing option (the tasting menu can also be ordered with fewer dishes). Its beautiful panoramic terrace is perfect for a romantic dinner!"

In this iteration, the chef carries us on a voyage around the world through the “Sabores da Descoberta” tasting menu (“Flavours of Discovery”), proposing dishes that highlight the traces the Portuguese left on different continents—Africa, Asia and the Americas—fused with Portuguese flavours (one perfect example is One night in Bangkok with scarlet prawn, kampot pepper and kelp seaweed).

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 for just 12 guests built around a central island that provides the setting for the open kitchen. On the single, creatively focused menu, which includes some French-inspired details, guests can explore flavours from around Portugal (we particularly enjoyed the onion chawanmushi and the violet shrimp).

The restaurant, in an unassuming building in the historic centre, features a charming dining room from which you can see the kitchen, separated by a glass wall. Chef António Loureiro, always loyal to the idea that “cooking is also about storytelling”, serves up his Equilíbrio (“Balance”) tasting menu (available in 6 or 9 courses) and a small menu with dishes taken from it, such as his excellent, tender and tasty veal with cauliflower. The balanced concept, brimming with sensitivity and modern touches yet grounded in a solid traditional foundation, emphasises a deep respect for raw ingredients. Curious details? On the upper floor, there’s a private dining room and... a small terrace filled with aromatic plants!"

The restaurant evokes old taverns, with striking azulejo tiles that add a contemporary touch and provide a backdrop for dishes crafted with great delicacy. The kitchen, with a strong identity of its own, puts the spotlight on fish such as Lúcio, Barbo and Siluro, some cured in salt, alongside more familiar options such as wild boar or wild duck. You can choose the Ribatejo Gastronómico menu, 10 chef’s-choice moments, or the Experiência à Carta, with six dishes (there are two specific pairings and, if you’re visiting with children, they also offer a children’s menu).

With a minimalist feel and a U-shaped table-counter that houses the kitchen within it, the restaurant breathes an industrial air while also incorporating an elegantly decorated dining room. We recommend taking a seat at the counter to watch the entire preparation process and breathe in the aromas rising from the stoves. The offering, built around the Organic Tasting Menu by Gastro and its 15 moments, evolves with the products available each season, with a special focus on the marine world (carabineiro prawns, scallop, black hake, red mullet...).

It offers à la carte service with a small number of dishes, an intriguing tasting menu (O amor além do tempo: uma viagem pelas lendas algarvias) that tells different regional legends linked to each course, and, as an extra, the option of a vegetarian menu. What caught our attention? The moment of Pão de fermentação lenta, manteiga, azeite virgem extra e muxuma de atum, slow-fermented bread with butter, extra-virgin olive oil and tuna muxama - salt-cured tuna -, arriving at the table still warm, made with sourdough is... a true pleasure for the senses."

The spacious and eye-catching premises, at the southern exit of the town, surprise visitors with a sort of wine tasting bar where they celebrate the region’s finest wines. In its elegant dining room, run by a professional team, they offer an à la carte service and two tasting menus (Tradition and Innovation) that change with the seasons and draw from the finest national seasonal produce. Within its concept, which is based on Portuguese gastronomic tradition but revisited from a creative perspective, with certain licences taken to improve the recipes, we were captivated by the original combination of Sole and \"Portuguese stew\" as well as the Cheese, quince and hazelnut dessert, which play with temperatures and textures."

Its connection to Japanese culture is clear, as Midori means “green”, an obvious reference to the fantastic vegetation surrounding the Penha Longa hotel, merging into the lush mountains of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. An open kitchen, vinyl-covered walls, a beautiful mural designed by a Portuguese artist, and large windows are the backdrop for a pleasant, cosy atmosphere. The offering of talented Chef Pedro Almeida, here served up daily by the young resident chef Tiago Santo, reveals Portuguese cuisine with a Japanese soul, adopting the techniques of the Far East country and applying them to the best local produce. Across two tasting menus — Kiri and Yama, with 7 and 9 courses, respectively — the selection translates into bold dishes like the roasted tomato nigiri, the Kakuni-style beef tongue served with scorched aubergine and tomato, or the surprising dessert of Hachi (honey and oats)."

It is surprising both due to its interior décor, dominated by white and red tones, and its pleasant terrace overlooking the Tagus. Interesting dishes? Algarve pink prawns with seaweed and lemon butter; Alentejo pork chop with fried polenta and roasted pepper ketchup; creamy shellfish and coriander rice..."

      "description_en": "This restaurant, located in the heart of Chiado and close to the Jesuit church of São Roque, was born under the philosophy of a contemporary taberna (tavern), however… it is now taking a new path! The starting point is the recreation of Portuguese recipes in the light of current knowledge, always respecting the product and its origins, but without setting limits. The chef at the helm, Maurício Varela, champions a fluid proposal that seeks balance between cold and hot cooking, with constant references to the memory of Portuguese cuisine, spanning from traditional churrasco (barbecue) to conservas (preserves), as well as escabeches and smoked preparations. For them, in pursuit of a living offering, proximity and freshness of raw materials are fundamental to the creative process."

They serve up quality-certified Minho cuisine here, as they keep their own shellfish tank, a lamprey tank, a good meat section and even vegetarian options on the menu. A tip?

Inspired by two rivers (the Douro and the Sella) and the chef’s own personal sensibilities, the concept is served up as a tasting menu (a choice of 9 or 11 moments), combining with coherence and delicacy the flavours of Asturian cuisine alongside those of northern Portugal.

      "description_en": "The first thing that grabs your attention about this restaurant, located in a UNESCO-protected building preserving part of the old city wall, is its name, since it represents the dream that Bárbara (Portuguese) and Christian (a French-Spanish chef) had of opening their own restaurant ever since meeting at the prestigious École Lenôtre in Paris. It boasts an informal, bistro-style main dining room and a comfortable private room, where you can discover a contemporary Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with French fusion and international touches, based on the finest seasonal Portuguese ingredients. They offer a small menu featuring daily suggestions, an executive lunch menu, and a so-called “Chef’s Menu,” adopting a more haute-cuisine approach. Don’t miss trying some of their famous rice dishes and, if you can, the Chloe-inspired beef tartare, which surprised us with its excellent seasoning and flavour."

This original bistro‑style restaurant, led by young chefs Miguel Rodrigues and Tiago Costa, presents a creative proposal that marries national and international influences, always crafted with products of excellent quality. Our recommendation? Start with Focaccias stuffed with oxtail with a gentle truffle sauce, then the house’s true star of the show, seafood rice with scarlet prawn, and finish with the classic Pudim Abade Priscos (rich caramel custard) accompanied by basil ice cream and moscatel reduction."

David Jesus defends, with incredible fervour, the idea that it’s possible to create good food using what the habitat around us provides, and his vegan/vegetarian restaurant is proof of that. The menu, complemented by two set options (6 or 11 dishes), changes frequently with the season and the chef’s creativity, always innovating and building new combinations. In general, you’ll find contemporary-style proposals and carefully considered presentation, always full of nuance (we loved the Paella de silvestres da temporada, seasonal wild-mushroom paella, created with different mushrooms in varied textures)."

Meat-lovers can savour irresistible choices such as picanha from Uruguay, Galician 60-day dry aged T-bone, and A5 Kobe flank, considered one of the world’s best cuts of meat.

The dessert of Leite-creme de arroz (rice pudding) with caramelised rice puffs, accompanied by mango and Malibu ice cream, pleasantly surprised us.

Add to your experience the hake ravioli, prawn crudo, miso aubergine and bisque, and the 70 % Costa Rican chocolate with yuzu, kumquat and bacon ice cream… you certainly won’t regret it!"

His different tasting menus The Story, Echoes of 100 (vegetarian) and Lunch Short Story (served exclusively for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays), are based around innovative cuisine with a constant nod (both physical and emotional) to his origins, although influences from his adopted homeland and further afield are also evident.
