Belcanto
Chiado · Lisbon
José Avillez's flagship in Chiado, a modern reading of Portuguese cuisine in an intimate room near the São Carlos opera house.
Book early
Three-star tables often release reservations 30 to 90 days ahead and fill within hours. Set a reminder, or ask your hotel concierge.
Dress the room
Smart is the rule; a jacket is expected in most palace-hotel dining rooms, and some still require a tie.
Tell them in advance
Allergies, dislikes and celebrations are best mentioned when booking, not at the table.
Lunch is the secret
Many starred kitchens serve a shorter lunch menu at a fraction of the dinner price, with the same hands at the stove.
