TOP 10 LUXURY RESTAURANTS IN LISBON - BELCANTO


Dating back from 1958, Belcanto has been satisfying its customers for a long time. The restaurant was taken over by one of the most prominent chefs of Portugal’s culinary scene, Michelin-starred chef José Avillez. 
Portugal’s rich culinary tradition and fresh ingredients serve as inspiration for the menu, so it exceeds your expectations if you are looking for traditional food.
With a superb location, being placed near the São Carlos Opera House, it is the go-to place for a great dinner after a show or simply to enjoy a bottle of one of the 300 Portuguese wines you can find here.
It has been considered as one of the best restaurants in the World by the acclaimed "The World’s 50 Best Restaurants List” and is one of the finest places to savour a sofisticated meal in Lisbon.

TOP 10 LUXURY RESTAURANTS IN LISBON - BICA DO SAPATO


Owned by the acclaimed actor John Malkovich, Bica do Sapato is one of the best restaurants in town. It was designed to appeal to a wide array of customers and, as such, you can find several different styles in here. 
By the ground floor, you can find beautiful, 70's inspired decoration to go with the traditional portuguese cuisine, with just a tad of other mediterranean flavors. 
The upper floor, though, is an entirely different story. In it, you can taste what is probably some of the best sushi in town.
Having been a portuary building, deactivated in the meantime, Bica do Sapato offers vast amounts of space, high-ceilinged rooms and - of course- an absolutely terrific view of the Tagus river through its plate-glass windows. 

With chef Manuel Bóia, one of the best portuguese chefs of his generation, this restaurant near the Santa Apolónia train station will surely be appreciated by all visitors of fine taste.
