"Famous chef José Avillez owns a restaurant empire in town. With its two Michelin stars, his elegant Belcanto, at the heart of the charming Chiado neighborhood, is Lisbon’s most acclaimed fine dining venue. Here, Avillez and his team serve modern Portuguese dishes a la carte or as a tasting menu. Explore Portugal through his creative takes on tasty classics like suckling pig, pork trotters with coriander, orange peel puree and lettuce heart, and lupini beans (a Portuguese obsession) with ajo blanco and horse mackerel." - Rafael Tonon, Miguel Pires
