Lisbon isn’t the biggest foodie destination in the world, but the coastal city has its fair share of delicious foods, including a world-famous pastry, tinned seafood, and specialty liqueur.

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.

This Lisbon City Guide covers everything you’ll need for a great time in the capital of Portugal.
