Belcanto

Lisbon, Portugal

• No.31 The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024

Chef José Avillez describes himself as “nonconformist by nature” but the Belcanto experience is one of refined elegance. Located in Lisbon’s historic centre, the wood-panelled dining room has just ten tables. It’s a sophisticated nook of old-world Portugal where you’ll be taken on a decidedly new-world adventure. Classics like suckling pig and Portuguese pot-au-feu are given the Avillez treatment alongside experimental dishes that have made his name, such as the fairy-tale ‘The garden of the goose that laid the golden eggs’, a starter of egg, crunchy bread and mushrooms.
