Lisbon is more than Portugal’s capital — it’s a city where heritage and creativity collide in every corner, especially at the dining table. Over the past decade, Lisbon has evolved into one of Europe’s most exciting culinary cities, with an impressive collection of Michelin-starred restaurants that elevate local ingredients and flavors into unforgettable experiences.
Whether you’re exploring the cobbled streets of Chiado or taking in the river views in Belém, these three Michelin-starred restaurants in Lisbon are absolute musts for food lovers visiting the city in 2025.
1. Belcanto – 2 Michelin Stars
Chef: José Avillez
Location: Chiado
At the very top of Lisbon’s culinary pyramid sits Belcanto, the first restaurant in the city to be awarded two Michelin stars. Chef José Avillez creates theatrical, emotionally charged tasting menus rooted in Portuguese identity — transformed through modern technique and artistry.
Dine on signatures like “The Garden of the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs” or the exquisite “cozido à portuguesa” in a delicate consommé, all within an intimate setting of just ten tables.

“Belcanto was hands down the best dining experience we’ve had in Europe. Pure art.”
— Review from Thomas R., Los Angeles
2. Alma – 2 Michelin Stars
Chef: Henrique Sá Pessoa
Location: Chiado
Also nestled in Chiado, Alma is a reflection of Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa’s deep connection to Portugal’s culinary roots. Holding two Michelin stars, Alma offers a more minimalist and serene ambiance than Belcanto, but the flavor complexity is equally astonishing.
Choose from two seasonal tasting menus — including the “Costa a Costa” which showcases coastal ingredients — and prepare for standout dishes like aged carabineiro prawns or black pork shoulder with creamy polenta.
3. Feitoria – 1 Michelin Star
Chef: André Cruz
Location: Belém
In the riverside district of Belém, within the luxurious Altis Belém Hotel, Feitoria is one of Lisbon’s most elegant one-star Michelin restaurants. Chef André Cruz has preserved the soul of Feitoria while injecting it with modern vision, offering a tasting menu inspired by sustainable sourcing and regional variety.
The “Matéria” menu explores Portugal from coast to countryside — expect thoughtful, poetic dishes like Atlantic mackerel with green apple and wild herbs, all beautifully paired with a curated selection of Portuguese wines.
Lisbon’s Michelin-starred dining scene is a true reflection of the city itself: historic, modern, passionate, and endlessly creative. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend or a multi-day luxury journey, these restaurants are not to be missed.
