"Bairro (“neighborhood” in Portuguese) is a huge space that houses four different restaurants by chef Jose Avillez. Taberna is a casual, lively lunch or dinner spot that’s outfitted like a fancy deli, with glass cases stuffed with cheeses and meats. Páteo is a massive sun-lit hall where you can linger over a plate of bacalhau com brás (salted cod, potatoes, and eggs) for a few hours over dinner. Pizzaria Lisboa serves, unsurprisingly, pizza, and Mini Bar is a theatrical dinner spot with burlesque speakeasy vibes and a 12-course tasting menu. If you’re in town for a few days, try to hit them all up if you can—especially to try Avillez’s famous “exploding olive” in a few different settings." - rita geraldes
"A casual outpost from a prominent Lisbon culinary group where a standout is polvo à Lagareiro—meaty roasted octopus bathed in olive oil and garlic with slow-baked potatoes—served here with a rapini and onion sauce that highlights simple, intensely flavored seafood preparations." - Kevin Raub

"A lively shared-plates spot within a larger gastronomic complex where simple, well-executed dishes stand out—most notably a straightforward but well-seasoned chicken piri-piri that pairs naturally with a glass of rosé." - Kristin Braswell
"Bairro de Avillez The latest from the man who is probably Portugal’s most famous chef, José Avillez (of two-Michelin-starred Belcanto), Bairro de Avillez does it all. Upon entry, guests are greeted by a traditional Portuguese taberna, where cheese, charcuterie, and Avillez’s take on traditional petiscos (finger foods) fuel a festive atmosphere. Further inside, you’ll find Páteo, a seafood-focused food court for classic Portuguese dishes, and Beco, a hidden restaurant that offers a gourmet menu alongside sexy cabaret shows. Plan to spend the night here."
