BELCANTO Review

There are not many surprises of the two-star belcanto, ordering the restaurant's classic menu, a bit like the concept of Elevel Madison Park thatton. Everything is delicious but the imagination is limited, and you can have more steamed buns and fun. ​

The restaurant is hidden in the alley next to the National Theatre of San Carlos, and the former residence of the poet Pessoa is here. Tasting Menu Most of the traditional Portuguese dishes are simple ingredients, suckling pigs, roast potatoes, oranges and salads, but the taste and meaning of the products are re-woven carefully, combining modern cuisine and traditional dishes every dish is like the representative of the city of Lisbon. It was late at night when I walked out of Belcanto, and I was so pleased with it that I was a little excited. The old slate street was noisy, and the drunken people were not home, and occasionally when they were quiet, they heard the sound of waves from the banks of the Tagus River not far away.

This is my second time eating at a Michelin restaurant, and my first time eating at a two-star Michelin restaurant. It is a feast for the senses, a double enjoyment of what you see and eat. The presentation is innovative, and the ingredients are not to mention. Some of them are so delicious that I don’t know where to start without explaining them to you. Because it is off-season, we didn’t make a reservation and went to eat at the last wave of lunch. We were very hungry, but it took two hours to finish more than ten dishes in a row, which made the chef, who was supposed to get off work at three o’clock, work overtime. We didn’t order wine because it was quite expensive, and water was not cheap either. We drank two bottles of wine. My husband and I ordered a regular set meal each, and the other ordered a creative set meal. The creative set meal was more expensive, and it was even better with two dishes and a few different staples! If I want to review each one in detail, I can write thousands of words, but it is better to experience it in person. This restaurant has just been upgraded from one star to two stars. You must try it.

Michelin two stars, reservations must be made one week in advance, 12-course discovery menu, full interpretation of land and sea, color, aroma and taste, molecular cooking spherification technology, cocoa simulates the shape, and the inside is a fermented soup that matches the shape. The Portuguese specialty "barnacles with handles" is the most difficult for me to accept, a little fishy, ​​red shrimp and sea bass are chewy and delicious, and the beef is served with foie gras and small fish cubes for a perfect ending.
