The 14 incredible Michelin-starred restaurants in Lisbon

It could be said that Lisbon’s skies have never been so star-studded, or should we say: Lisbon’s kitchens have never had so much quality, where Michelin stars are a guarantee of good service and food.

This statement comes on the heels of the latest Michelin Guide Gala, which awarded four new Portuguese restaurants on February 27 in Albufeira, Algarve.

Two of the four new national Michelin stars were awarded to restaurants in the capital, adding to the 12 already starred in Lisbon by this well-known haute cuisine guide.

There are now 14 restaurants with at least one Michelin star.

2Monkeys

Chefs Vítor Matos and Francisco Quintas run a restaurant that has redefined fine-dining in Lisbon.

2Monkeys, which we believe is a joking reference to the two chefs, offers two distinct experiences:

• Gastronomic Experience, for €150 per person
• and the Wine Harmonization option, for €100 per person

Address: Rua Câmara Pestana 23 (Restauradores)
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, from 7pm to 11pm

Sála

According to Chef João Sá, at Sála you’ll find a reflection of global Portugal on the plate, in a cozy and very comfortable atmosphere.

In this authentic living room, you’ll find a culinary approach strongly influenced by the journeys made by the Portuguese and by traditional national cuisine, especially through menus where fish and seafood stand out the most.

And because wines are a passion of the Chef, at Sála you’ll find more than 100 references, from which you can have the help of the Sommelier on duty in your choice.

It opened in 2015 and a year later it got its first Michelin star. Located in a former Bertrand bookstore warehouse, it is the well-known Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa who runs all the operations.

On the menu you’ll find a clear preference for Portuguese products and, as you’d expect in a starred restaurant, be prepared to try authentic reinventions of typically Portuguese dishes with that refined touch.

In 2013, he won his first Michelin star and his second a year later, making him, along with Henrique Sá Pessoa’s Alma, the only restaurants in Lisbon to achieve this feat.

What would you say if you were invited to dine in a restaurant 120 meters above the ground? That’s what will happen if you go to the famous restaurant located in the Vasco da Gama Tower in Parque das Nações, Fifty Seconds.

The former renowned Spanish chef Martin Berasategui, who holds 12 Michelin stars, is no longer there, giving way to Chef Rui Silvestre, considered one of the best Portuguese chefs and one of the promises of contemporary cuisine.

If at Fifty Seconds you’re served at a height of 120 meters facing the Tagus, at Epur you’ll have the pleasure of eating outside Lisbon’s window.

The main attraction of the restaurant run by French chef Vincent Farges are the tasting menus, which are divided into two options, Inspirations and Epurism, with prices starting at €75.

As you would expect from a starred restaurant, the dishes are constantly changing, taking into account the freshest produce of the season.
