"Chef José Avillez is one of the leading figures on the Portuguese gastronomic scene, who continues to enhance his legend through hard work and diversification across his restaurants. This small but welcoming venue, next door to his award-winning Belcanto, surprises both for its contemporary aesthetic (with an original library adorning both walls and joining at the ceiling) and for its culinary approach, creatively focused entirely on working with seasonal, organic, locally sourced vegetables — though that by no means prevents the dishes from being technical, tasty, and texturally spot-on. After ringing the bell at the entrance, you are shown to your table and presented with a unique, 100% vegetarian tasting menu exploring concepts such as zero waste, always well matched by a list of biodynamic wines, craft beers, and in-house kombuchas... One of the dishes we liked most was the autumn vegetable stew / fig leaf!" - Michelin Inspector
