Belcanto

Lisbon's only Michelin-two-stared restaurant is the pinnacle of chef José Avillez's culinary empire in Chiado, the city's chicest district. Refined and rethought versions of traditional classics like "suckling pig revisited" and inventive, globally inspired fusion like "the garden of the goose that laid the golden egg" (a slow-cooked egg covered in gold leaf, crispy bread, and mushrooms) prove Portuguese cuisine extends beyond bacalhau.
