At Belcanto, José Avillez offers contemporary Portuguese cuisine in a sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere, transporting guests from the romance of old Chiado to the future. Amidst art and memories, diners are taken on a truly unique gastronomic and sensory journey at this two-star Michelin restaurant, which proudly claims its spot at 25 on the prestigious "The World’s 50 Best Restaurants" list.
For José Avillez and his dedicated team at Belcanto, cooking is a form of expression, where they share their inspirations, emotions, and concerns through their culinary representations and illusions. Each and every dish tells a story, evoking emotions from diners who embark on this tasting journey.
Beyond the à la carte dishes, Belcanto offers two Tasting Menus: the Classics Menu and the Evolution Menu. These experiences are designed to be immersive, where the story unfolds over several chapters. Each has its own itinerary and takes diners on a unique journey.
