Lisbon - Portugal’s comfortable Mediterranean climate and its warm, welcoming people have made the country's capital one of Europe’s most popular destinations. ​

We first visited Lisbon in 2017, and were enchanted with with its old-fashioned flair, reminding us of Madrid and Seville twenty years ago. But Lisbon is its own city, with a unique vibe, and constantly full of delightful surprises. We've been back to the city many times since that first visit and we always discover something new and remarkable. 
More chef-oriented restaurants have opened, more design-forward bars and clubs have debuted, and there are trendy fashion boutiques everywhere. José Avillez is one of Portugal’s most renowned chefs, with 11 restaurants in Lisbon and Porto. Try Beco Cabaret Gourmet in Bairro Do Avillez, the chef’s food hall in the Chiado neighborhood. Or go with the chef's famous pizzas, tapas, and craft cocktails.

You can sit in the food court to eat, or go outside, of better, sit at the private bar of your favorite chef and let the staff serve you fine dining style while you watch your food imaginatively prepared.
Have you ever heard of curated burgers? Curated nigiri? Curated pizzas, sandwiches or even curated cod? Probably not.

The leading chef's in all the food categories that help make Lisbon what it is - and tastes - all together under one roof.
