Belcanto - Lisboa

Eu perdi as contas de quantas vezes eu vim aqui e tudo permanece simplesmente perfeito, embora eu prefiro quando ele era pequeno. Avilez continua um mestre na arte de cozinhar e servir. Sempre inovando tanto na comida e no cuidado sem tirar do menu a sobremesa tangerina clássica e icônica, algo imperdível e de longe a melhor sobremesa que eu conheço. Congratulações especiais a Nelson que foi nosso assistente desta última vez.

Das Menü war qualitativ tadellos jedoch ohne grosse Überraschungen oder einem nennenswertem Highlight. Bei der Weinbegleitung setzte man auf junge und eher simple Weine, dies konnte uns leider nicht vollkommen überzeugen. Der Service ist professionell, jedoch hatte man das Gefühl, dass man etwas abgefertigt wird. Zwischen den Gängen hatte man kaum Minuten Zeit für eine Pause. Alles in allem haben wir trotzdem einen schönen Abend verbracht, werden jedoch bei einem kommenden Besuch in Lissabon sicher ein anderes Michelin Restaurant bevorzugen.

Magnificent building, beautiful inside, the food is from this world The service very well, beloved The way it was presented The dishes.. Top place in lisbon.. And not very expensive for a 2 Michelin star restaurant

We had heard positive reviews for this Michelin starred restaurant and decided to give it a try for my wife 's Birthday, as we 're staying in the Chaido area. The service was smoothly professional from our greeting to our departure. Extra touches everywhere include white glove service at table side and an invite to tour the kitchen between dinner and dessert! We chose the a la carte option as the tasting menu is too many courses for us. We also opted for the wine pairings. With that, we were served pre-appetizers on an amazing display rack (delicious), followed by beet salad and shrimp dish (appetizers) and steak plus roast squab (our mains). We finished off with chocolate dessert as well as an amazing Tangerina (tangerine flavour 3 ways in a frozen sphere)! This was definitely a splurge but also an experience we will remember and talk about for a long time.

The menu was based on the chief's food memories which sometimes was interesting but other times less so. You get a set of cards at the end with the dishes on though TBH I would have preferred a menu at the start. Service and food were good. What lets it down is its ridiculously expensive and sometimes quite horrid non alcoholic matching avoid.
