4.6 / 5.0(1,651 reviews)

Well deserved Michelin star. We ordered from the A La Carte menu & were surprised with all the snacks in between the meals. Everything was presented and cooked to perfection. The matured sirloin was amazing ! All the meals came out in a timely manner. The service itself was great and attentive to detail. This experience was exceptional and I would come back again ! The service and ambiance is excellent. Bread and butter amazing. We had the menu of 2 entrees, one main dish and dessert. The snacks were amazing but the other dishes are heavy and out dated. Understating these are dishes from past menus. Main dishes were served ambient temperature. Belcanto is definitely unique — and definitely unexpected. If you’re open to extremely creative food (like bacon ice cream) and ready to pay top euros for an artistic dining experience, this is the place for you. One thing I really appreciated was the presentation: before every dish, we were given a small card with a hint about what was coming next. At the end of the meal, those cards were gathered and handed to me in a beautifully scented envelope — a lovely and memorable touch. Another highlight was the short tour through the kitchen before dinner. It was a surprise and something I’ve never experienced before — a very personal and engaging start to the evening. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to inform guests in advance how many dishes are included in the tasting menu. We weren’t too hungry when we arrived and decided to try the full menu anyway, but at some point in the middle, we stopped enjoying the food simply because we were so full and had no idea how many courses were still to come. Also, the bread portions could be smaller — many guests seemed to leave them almost untouched, which likely leads to unnecessary waste. Overall, Belcanto is a remarkable restaurant that blends art and cuisine in a truly creative way. Still, while I enjoy inventive flavors and bold combinations, I tend to prefer meals that stay a bit closer to the familiar side. I’m glad I experienced it once — it’s unforgettable — but it’s probably not a place I would return to.

Exceptional experience, great food and service ls. They put a lot of effort in everything to make sure we had the best experience. We had the tasting menu and it was phenomenal. When the bill comes, there are two options for us to choose, with added 10 percent tips or without and it's pretty straight forward. Of course you can request to add more/less tips as well.i highly recommend and would love to come back

Absolutely phenomenal experience dining at Belcanto last night. The staff here are pretty exceptional and made us feel right at home. From the start, they clearly described the menu and how to night would run. They were very attentive throughout the evening and ensured they gave us enough space at the same time. We even took a break half way through the meal which they were very accommodating. The food was fantastic, each dish delivered was very well presented and the flavours were spot on. Not overly complicated but fresh and well balanced. Lots of fish dishes which we love. The restaurant itself is stunning, just the right noise level where we didn't feel like we were in a library and had to whisper like in other restaurants we have been to. We ended up chatted to the couple beside us who were also enjoying the experience like us. We will most certainly be back on our next visit to Lisbon.
