BELCANTO
"By nature we are nonconformists. Every day we hope to learn and find answers to the questions that crop up and allow us to develop and move forward."
- José Avillez
The Belcanto restaurant opened in 1958 in Chiado, in the trendy
São Carlos square next to the São Carlos National Theatre and the
house where Fernando Pessoa was born. Its singular location at the
historic centre of Lisbon, its sober, sophisticated atmosphere, the
discrete and attentive service, and the delights at its cuisine,
soon won over Lisbon's elite who turned the Belcanto into the place
to be seen.
In the summer of 2011, Chef José Avillez took an interest in
Belcanto and began an extensive refurbishment of the kitchens and
dining areas. José Avillez's Belcanto re-opened at the beginning of
2012, totally renewed.
José Avillez and his team look at haute cuisine as a form of
expression. At the Belcanto they share their inspirations, emotions
and concerns through their culinary representations and illusions.
Each dish tells a story and sets out to stir the emotions of those
willing to try it.
