The 36 Best Restaurants in Lisbon, Portugal | Eater

"Chef João Ricardo Alves was born to a Portuguese father, raised in Brazil, and trained in French cuisine. After working as a butcher in a traditional French restaurant, Alves grew tired of meat, became a vegetarian, and shifted his focus to plant-based cooking. His culinary journey took him across Europe and Asia before he settled in Lisbon to open Arkhe, one of the city’s best vegetarian restaurants. Here, Alves applies his expertise and creativity to flavorful jus and broths as the foundation of his meat-free approach. The menu changes regularly, driven by the freshest vegetables he can source. Meanwhile, his partner, the talented sommelier Alejandro Chávarro, moves gracefully through the dining room, offering expert wine pairings from an innovative, thoughtfully curated list focusing on natural wines, many of which he has found during travels around the globe. Today, the restaurant is located in an elegant, modern space in Largo do Rato, offering a refined yet welcoming dining experience." - Rafael Tonon

Arkhe

"Situated in the centre of the city, Arkhe features a discreet façade and an interior where the dominant decorative themes are open stonework and tasteful minimalism. The cuisine here is the realm of chef João Ricardo Alves who, having worked in various kitchens around the world, decided to open this new space with a focus on vegan/vegetarian cooking, accompanied by Alejandro Chávarro (sommelier and front-of-house manager), who also boasts extensive international experience. Alves’ cooking is showcased on three menus at lunchtime (but just one midweek) and two dinner menus, all of which are created using a combination of seasonal ingredients, plentiful flavour and impressive technical skill." - Michelin Inspector

Some dishes were totally memorable and refreshing. All dishes were well balanced. Some were a feast of textures. It is one of the rare fine dining restaurants that I have visited and I have thought I'll revisit if I ever get the chance. I think the only weak points were the bread and the cheese platter, for my taste. They were quality products but they were not that great, relative to the other dishes. The bread was something I can easily make (One of my evaluation criteria is always whether I can make a similar food or not). Cheese platters have never been my favorites. This one wasn't an exception neither. It had some nice elements but I think they should always be optional at an additional cost.

I was lucky enough to get a spot at the last minute through the waitlist, it is an intimate place so a reservation is a must. Delicious food and high quality produce. It is hard to compose a 7 course vegetarian menu at Michelin star quality but this place does it and it is relatively affordable. The music was a bit funky for my taste but it is a matter of preference and others might actually like it. The dining room is tastefully designed and the staff are knowledgeable about the dishes and attentive. High recommendation, keep on the good work

The team welcomed me for my birthday, they made me feel special and welcome, and I even got to blow out a candle to mark the occasion! The food was also excellent, very bright and the tastes of spring were incredibly refreshing! I left very satisfied and completely full! I will definitely visit again upon my next trip to Lisbon!!

Everything was amazing, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food and wine pairings were excellent, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend if visiting Lisbon.

Fine dining with great food and attentive service in a nice calm setting. We had the 5 course dinner and selected wines ourselves under supervision from the head waiter. The concept of choosing the dishes and wines yourself from their menu was fantastic. It is a bit on the expensive side compared to other options in Lisbon but well worth it to try the all vegetarian food. The pasta with pear and gorgonzola was our favourite.

We had a great and very memorable experience here. It is certainly expensive especially if you do the wine/drink pairing (and considering how affordable most food is in Lisbon!). However I think it's well worth the splurge. The service was great, each course was unique and delicious, and the drink pairings were all really well done. They reached out in advance of our reservation to confirm any allergies or other accommodations needed as well which was appreciated.

Arkhe is an absolutely outstanding establishment - from the team, chef, ambiance, cuisine, creativity, hospitality, and knowledge, Arkhe has it all. We had the pleasure of dining here twice during our trip to Portugal. The restaurant left such an indelible mark on us we knew we had to return before leaving Lisbon. We dined at Arkhe once for lunch and the other for dinner and each service was equally memorable. Much appreciation for the team remembering our names and dietary requirements on our return. For a vegetarian restaurant, a diner who is not vegetarian would not miss a meat course. Modern, sophisticated, innovative, the understanding of nature and the seasons is what encompasses the pure essence of Arkhe. Congratulations Team on your 2025 Michelin Star. The award is more than well deserved!

The most sublime meal I have had in a long, long time in Lisboa. Every dish sent us straight to heaven! It's definitely a special occasion restaurant, somewhere you'd want to dine for a few hours on end. The service is also exceptional - something that we don't find very often in restaurants these days. It was so impressive to see how many flavours, layers and complexity each dish had. The fact that it was all vegetarian blew my mind, I didn't know that a full vegetarian meal (that's not Asian) could be so tasty. Will 100% be back for the next special occasion!
