i just returned from Portugal and ate at Bel Canto. Service is excellent and attentive. Atmosphere is very staid - serious and sober and not an exciting experience as I have come to expect of Michelin Star restaurants. The 12 experiences I had paired with their non-alcoholic offerings. My final bill was over 400 euros for one person. I wouldn't recommend it. The food itself had some interesting beginnings with crispy light exteriors and tasty fillings. Quite frankly I was bored with the experience here - they might want to step back on the "seriousness" of being Bel Canto and get in touch with their "playful inner child" when designing the experiences. I didn't finish all of the experiences and left early. They give you a packet of these little cards at the end in an envelope with a red wax seal. I still haven't read them yet.
5 star experience from the moment we walked in. Introductions to the chef and a tour of the absolutely spotless and meticulously organized kitchen; seated at a table on the second level overlooking the prep area. The food was outstanding - every single dish, and the wine suggestions were spot on. The staff (Toumas and colleagues) could not have been more helpful, friendly and professional. This place is superb without taking itself too seriously - an AMAZING experience that I would definitely do again when returning to Lisbon. Totally worth the cost; you’ll leave completely sated and thrilled with the night..
What a wonderful experience! Everything was absolutely amazing , the food, the service, the staff and the chef. I would definitely recommend the address. Wine pairing was amazing. Thank you to Camille and I forget his name but a wonderful waiter from Lisbon speaking English and French. He even brought us some more sauce as he noticed that we loved it. Thank you for this unique experience
Incredible tasting menu with some very unique dishes. The service was legitimately the best I have ever received in a restaurant setting. I had a phenomenal time. Sure, dinner for 4 was practically a down payment on a home but worth every penny! Please check this place out if you are ever in Lisbon.
Highly anticipated lunch turned out to be an anti climax. We had the tasting menu with non-alcoholic pairing. Dishes started well enough but quickly deteriorated. We had to send the fish back as it just tasted foul. Although we both sent the fish back, they were reluctant to prepare a replacement dish for both of us. I assume it’s because I ate a tad more than my wife. As for the drinks, the quantity of each pour was downright ridiculous. I honestly thought they were waiting for me to taste the drink before giving a full pour but no, you get a measly drop for 120 euros. Most of the staff seemed more interested in hearing themselves regurgitate their memorised lines instead of attending to our needs. My requests for the pacing to increase were neglected, no one attended to us when we needed the washroom and we were totally ignored when we finished our meal, searching for the exit. What was supposed to be the highlight of our trip turned out to be a total disappointment. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. Edit : after lodging a formal complaint the restaurant has apologised and offered a full refund for our meal which is very much appreciated.
