Celebrity chef Henrique Sá Pessoa's Alma is a major player in Lisbon's fine-dining renaissance. Amid inviting hardwood surroundings, Pessoa's charred red pepper with red pepper-coulis is a potent capsicum explosion: a "snack" that defines his three tasting menus. The restaurant's daring wine pairings (citrus-laced cuttlefish-ink rocks and candied seaweed chased with La Quintinye Vermouth Roya French vermouth) are a palate bombshell in the best way possible. This place might not have any stars yet, but this is Lisbon's most exciting restaurant.
