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

"Bairro do Avillez is great, but Belcanto is José Avillez’s crown jewel. There are three different menus offered inside this elegant dining room that’s housed in an old monastery: two tastings and one à la carte, with dishes like lobster paired with white beans, marrow, and caviar, and razor clams with lupin bean ice shavings. Book a table in advance, and plan on leaving your afternoon or the rest of your evening free. This is a main-event kind of place you’ll want to tailor your day around. " - rita geraldes
