Eleven

At the top of Parque Eduardo VII, Eleven opened in 2004 under Joachim Koerper, when Lisbon was still far from today’s buzzing food scene. It earned a Michelin star just months after opening—the city’s first at the time—lost it and later regained it, keeping it to this day. Between tasting menus and à la carte options, the experience reaches another level at the window tables (the view over Lisbon is lovely).

Mon–Sat 12:30–3:00 PM / 7:30–10:00 PM.

Fifty Seconds

The experience begins the moment you arrive. You need to reach the top of the Vasco da Gama Tower to discover Fifty Seconds. The name refers to the duration of the panoramic elevator ride. In the kitchen, Rui Silvestre pursues a second Michelin star with a tasting menu crafted with precision and mastery—bold, spiced, and acidic, fresh and intense.

Tue–Fri 7:00–10:00 PM; Sat 12:30–2:00 PM / 7:00–10:00 PM.

Kanazawa

The setting is unassuming, in a housing development in Algés, but it’s worth the detour. Kanazawa is a singular restaurant with only eight seats, led by Paulo Morais, a master of Japanese cuisine. The cooking is kaiseki, marked by seasonality and excellence of product. Among the four tasting menus, each moment is conceived as a ritual.

Tue 7:00–9:30 PM; Wed–Sat 12:00–3:00 PM / 7:00–9:30 PM.

Kabuki

At Kabuki, the Spanish brand that landed in the Ritz galleries in 2021, Japanese cuisine and technique intertwine with Mediterranean flavors and ingredients. A Michelin star followed soon after. The full experience unfolds in the tasting menu, but there are also à la carte options and a bar where you can snack.

Tue–Fri 12:30 PM–12:00 AM; Sat 7:00 PM–12:00 AM.

Alma

At Alma, Henrique Sá Pessoa reveals his most personal cuisine, always grounded in Portuguese culinary tradition. The focus on Portuguese products is reflected in two tasting menus: “Alma,” which revisits the chef’s classics (like a reinterpreted pork à alentejana), and “Costa a Costa,” which dives into the flavors of the sea. With two Michelin stars, this is where Sá Pessoa truly showcases his gastronomic vision.

Tue–Sat 12:00–2:30 PM / 7:00 PM–12:00 AM.

2Monkeys

2Monkeys won a Michelin star in record time thanks to its distinctive concept. Two chefs, Vítor Matos and Guilherme Spalk, serve a tasting menu that is never announced in advance. At the counter, 14 diners are surprised at every moment. The experience thrives on proximity: dishes finished in front of the guest, direct dialogue, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Tue–Sat 7:30–11:00 PM.

Fortaleza do Guincho

One of Portugal's longest-standing Michelin-starred restaurants owes its status to its relentless pursuit of culinary excellence. Since 2018, Chef Gil Fernandes has crafted two tasting menus that showcase distinctly Portuguese flavors presented with creativity, dynamism, and technical skill. The sea of Guincho provides both the view and the inspiration.

Wed-Sat 7:00 PM–9:30 PM.

Sala de João Sá

One of the most exciting restaurants was also one of the big winners at this year’s Michelin Guide gala. Small and vibrant, it’s an oasis in downtown Lisbon. The culinary journey begins in Lisbon and extends to other latitudes, from India to Africa, delivering bold flavors.

Tue-Thu 6:30 PM–9:30 PM. Fri-Sat 12:30 PM–2:00 PM, 6:30 PM–9:30 PM.

Feitoria

The classic dining room, with views of the Tagus River in the distance, contrasts with the bold menu crafted by André Cruz, the chef who has been making waves since taking the helm at Feitoria in 2022. What arrives at the table, sourced largely from small producers, is as beautiful as it is delicious. The service is captivating.

Tue-Sat 6:30 PM–10:00 PM.

Cura

It’s inside the Ritz but has its own street entrance. It holds one Michelin star—refined, yet without the hush: the aim is to enjoy the experience without pretension. In the kitchen, Rodolfo Lavrador serves beautiful dishes, rich in technique and, more importantly, full of soul and flavor.
