This is simply just an amazing restaurant. Everything on our visit was simply perfect. With a warm attentive greeting and all waiting staff informed, polite and friendly but never intrusive. The interior is slightly rustic but classy and elegant. We love trying the chefs tasting...menus when treating ourselves to a restaurant of this calibre. And both having the “Classic “ menu we were not disappointed. Each course was absolutely fantastic! Thank you Belcanto you certainly are up there with some of the best 2and 3 star Michelins in the UK that we have experienced ! Paul GMore

A special place. An experience. A wonderful way to cap off our love affair with Portugal. This is food art……first on a plate and then on the palate. An amalgam of tastes and textures unlike anything before. Service is excellent and efficient and the staff...are attentive and knowledgeable. The 10 course meal , even though it sounds enormous, has been meticulously designed to satisfy without overwhelming. Be aware that this is a very expensive place, and needs to be planned for well in advance. The menu doesn’t change from lunch to dinner. Plan on being entirely amazed by what can happen when cooking is elevated to an art form.More

One of the best meals my wife and I have had (amidst 44 European countries we have visited thus far)! Restaurant staff was very accommodating in spite of arriving without a reservation just before lunch closing. Beatriz was our exceptional waitress-knowledgeable and charming-with excellent recommendations....Highly recommend the carrot and olive starter (extraordinary flavor and creativity). The Rice from the Atlantic was simply delicious (we ended up splitting this due to how large the plate is). Then we ordered both the Apple & Rhubarb pie and chocolate cake. The photos attached do not do them justice (amazing tastes without being too heavy, and amazing attention-to-detail). Cannot wait to return. Worth every Euro and more!More

Having been to many Michelin three stars as well as two and one stars, we can confidently confirm that Belcanto is worthy of its rating. We had the Classic Tasting menu and shared one wine pairing. Excellent plan, excellent execution by a friendly and clearly...competent staff.More

We were very excited to visit Belcanto during our stay in Lisbon. Top 25 in the world and two Michelin stars does set a pretty high expectation though. We had the Evolution tasting menu with the premium (not 100% sure on the name but it...was the top tier) wine pairing. The food was creative and good. To us, the stand outs were the red shrimp and the sea bass dishes. The true stand out of the evening was the wine pairings. The somm staff did a fantastic job in selections that elevated the dishes. Our somm, Ross, did a great job presenting each selection and we enjoyed our discussions with him. So why four stars? We have eaten at many top restaurants around the world and there was just something lacking. Perhaps presentation, perhaps the dishes falling short of "wow", perhaps it was our expectations. Our post dinner assessment was that it was a very enjoyable dinner, but it was not an "experience". We've enjoyed some fantastic dining experiences over the years. Some cost more than Belcanto, many cost less. We still talk about these experiences. I'm not sure we'll be talking about Belcanto in a year.More

The restaurant’s interior was charming and the staff was very well trained. There was an ala carte menu and a tasting menu but we were told that we could only choose one or the other due to the serving times. We chose the ala carte....The food choices were too exotic for my tastes. I don’t eat fish, caviar, liver, brains, seaweed and these foods are not to my liking. The presentation was exceptional. The taste of the beef tenderloin was average. The desserts were, in my opinion, better than the meal. Overall I found the restaurant to be overpriced and with foods I don’t care for though I was told that there is a long waiting list to get reservations for dinner.More

We ate at the chef’s table and everything was delicious. We were introduced to the chef and he spent a few moments with us to chat and take photos. The 14 courses we had were all fantastic..

Tonight good fortune shined on us. We were wait listed for dinner and lucky for us there was a cancellation for a table for 2 at 19:30. We jumped on it, how can you say no to dinner at a Michelin 2 star restaurant that’s...also rated in the top 25 in the world? I know I can’t! They have 2 tasting menus and an ala carte as well. The first tasting menu is the Classic and that consisted of past favorites from over the years. The second option is called Enchantment and you have to be willing to “go with the flow.” How can you say no? We both selected the Enchantment and my partner had one of the wine pairings to go along with it. All I can say is that the meal didn’t disappoint it was truly a culinary treat. To tell you the different dishes wouldn’t be fair to the restaurant but below you’ll see pictures of everything! If you’re a “foodie,” and plan on being in Lisbon make it a point to visit. It is pricey but worth every penny. Last thing, to me which is important as good as the food was so was the staff they were absolutely phenomenal too!More

The restaurant itself is in a beautiful building and very classy establishment and as a two star Michelin place, one wouldn’t have expected any less for how attentive the staff is. My partner and I came for lunch and really wanted to try the wine...pairing without getting completely drunk mid day with 6-7 full glasses of wine, so we ordered one wine pairing to share. I have a few dislikes in ingredients and the staff adapted the dishes to accommodate to the extent that one of the dishes was completely different and they even changed my half of the wine pairing for it (my partner had the standard one for his half glass of wine). The wine pairings were really good and inventive with locally sourced wines. Particularly enjoyed the white port pairing with the foie gras amuse Buche which was a great alternative to the usual Sauternes. The food is, of course, absolutely perfect and well-presented as one would expect. The innovative twists to incorporate local and seasonal ingredients made it an even more interesting experience for me as a first-time visitor to Portugal. Absolutely loved this place and easily one of my top fine-dining experiences.More

Our first time in Lisbon, we sat at the left-corner table in the photo. Nice atmosphere, professional ** star service but without any "soul" more mechanical, Swiss watch precision. Food not super creative or impressive but definitely good. Overpriced compared to Michelin star restaurants in...Porto. If you want Gourmet dining in Portugal, try The Yeatman.More

We have been to the top restaurants in the world like Central, Disfrutar, Asador Etxebarri, etc and BelCanto as far as food did not disappoint. Nelson, our Maître D' was exceptional. We reserved the Chef's Table at the restaurant to have the ultimate culinary experience....The only thing missing from the entire experience was the Chef himself who was expediting in a kitchen right next to us but within the 3+ hrs that we were there never even bothered to say hi or introduce himself. However, we saw a group of French/ French-speaking patrons whom he was very much obliged to shake hands with and show around the kitchen. Could it be because we were a Chef's Table made up of Asian patrons and Latinos like ourselves that we were not given the same introduction or warm welcome from the Chef? I sure hope not. I have never felt the need of a review this long, but I just felt that if you pay for a self-proclaimed "Chef's Table" at a top tier, #25 restaurant in the World, the LEAST the Chef could do is introduce himself and wish the guests a nice meal. I have been to the #1 Restaurant in the world and never has the Chef been so pretentious, hence my review. Other than that, the food was great and Nelson gave a great service.More

I booked the chef's table through arrangements made by American Express Platinum. This was charged at a premium price. Generally, the chef comes out at some point in the evening, usually the end of the meal to talk about what we enjoyed and some small...talk. The chef was there, but he made no effort to greet us in his establishment. Furthermore, I have never felt so uncomfortable and judged whilst eating fine dining. I almost requested the check and walked out half-way though the meal. Nothing about it was enjoyable except maybe the novelty of eating at a Michelin star restaurant. I hate to be so critical, but the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food, compared to other Michelin star restaurants, left a lot to be desired. There are a number of other fine dining restaurants in charming Lisbon. Perhaps explore those.More
