XXL by Olivier
In one of Lisbon's most emblematic restaurants, across from the Assembly of the Republic, XXL is a reflection of chef Olivier da Costa's affective memories, crafted with elegance and simplicity to create the most authentic and familiar menu of the entire Olivier Group. Preserving the legacy of the emblematic XL (Vasco Gallego's restaurant where XXL Lisboa opened, in São Bento), the menu maintains the most popular references, such as Entrecôte Café Paris, Bife XXL, and the classics Bitoque de Lagosta and Picanha de Tamboril.
Originally opened in 1994, the transfer of ownership to Olivier da Costa, a restaurateur with a 25-year career, maintains the DNA and glamor of this space that has marked generations.
