At the top of every Lisbon restaurant list sits Belcanto, the Portuguese food jewel of the city. Run by Chef José Avillez, and awarded 2 Michelin stars in 2014, Belcanto was 42nd on 2021’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and 46th on 2022’s list.

When we decided we were headed to Lisbon for two weeks, the first thing I did was look for must-make restaurant bookings. Alma came up time and time again, as a 2 Michelin-starred and 50 Best Discovery restaurant.
