José Avillez's restaurant in the Chiado, with two Michelin stars and contemporary Portuguese cooking in a tasting menu or à la carte.

A dinner to remember in the Chiado
Belcanto is chef José Avillez's main restaurant, on Rua Serpa Pinto, between the Chiado and the São Carlos Theatre. It has two Michelin stars and its cooking starts from Portuguese tradition: the sea, the inland regions and the country's larder, told with today's technique. The dining room is small, with arches and wood, attentive service and a cellar with many Portuguese wines.
Menu or à la carte
There are two ways to eat. The Belcanto tasting menu runs through the history of the house in several courses. The à la carte is ordered as one or two starters, a main and a dessert per person, with appetisers beforehand and sweets at the end. Both the menu and the à la carte are chosen per person and are not shared. The menus, with prices, are in PDF on its website; it is one of the most expensive dinners in Lisbon, so look at them before booking.
Booking and getting there
It opens Tuesday to Saturday, at midday from 12:30 to 15:00 and in the evening from 19:00 to 22:00; it is closed Sunday and Monday. Book on its website well ahead, especially for weekend dinner. The nearest metro stop is Baixa-Chiado; tram 28 passes two streets away.

Qué pedir: the tasting menu with Portuguese wine pairing, if it is your special dinner of the trip.
