This is one of our favourites in Lisbon and just been awarded 2 Michelin stars (making José Avillez the first Portuguese chef to get them).
Belcanto restaurant opened in 1958, in Chiado, at the São Carlos square, next to the São Carlos National Theatre and to the house where the great Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa was born. In the summer of 2011, Chef José Avillez took an interest in Belcanto and began an extensive refurbishment. José Avillez's Belcanto restaurant re-opened in the beginning of 2012, totally renewed.
Expect Portuguese fusion cuisine with a lot of fun and glamour!
