Encanto

Encanto is truly a magical dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel transported. Every detail is thoughtful, from the beautifully curated space to the warm and attentive service. As a fully vegan Michelin-starred restaurant, Encanto exceeds expectations at every turn. The tasting menu is a celebration of creativity and seasonality. Each dish is like a work of art, both visually stunning and full of bold, balanced flavors. It’s clear that every ingredient is treated with care and intention. Even as someone who eats plant-based regularly, I was blown away by how inventive and satisfying every course was. The pacing of the meal was perfect, and the progression of flavors told a clear and compelling story. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about what they were serving. They took the time to explain each dish and were more than happy to answer any questions. The wine pairings were also exceptional and enhanced the experience even more. What makes Encanto special is that it doesn’t just meet the standard for fine dining as a vegan restaurant — it raises the bar for all dining experiences, full stop. This is a place where you can truly taste the chef’s vision and dedication in every bite. If you’re in Lisbon, make sure this is on your list. Encanto is a rare gem that combines elegance, sustainability, and unforgettable food in one incredible meal.

Really great vegetarian set menu with very distinctive flavors. The wine pairing was also very good with the sommelier being very knowledgeable. It felt like a nice tour of Portuguese wine regions

Great tasting menu and excellent service. Be prepared for a long dinner of 12 tasting courses. Some of the dishes we tried were some of the most unique we’ve had.

The first impression was quite unusual: To receive entry, you had to knock on the old hardwood door. To me that was a bigger thing than it should be, because it engaged to disconnect with the world outside. Lovely detail. The inside is stylish. The Encanto has a very unique still. Be it the, very comfortable chairs, the playful wall papers or the tables, which clearly had a life before and luckily no one tries to hide it. The fragrance of the candle rounded up the overall extremely pleasing atmosphere. I was very satisfied with the service. Nice people, who seemed to genuinely like what they are doing. All questions were answered and no one was shy to admit if there was something the did not now. I did go with the non-alcoholic pairing. The first course, or moment as the Encanto calls them, was by far the biggest disconnect of the evening. It only really came to my mind on reflection, so please excuse not mentioning it personally: The edible gold does not fit the story the Encanto tells. In a vegetarian, zero waste and very local restaurant this unnecessary, unsustainable decadency put me off. Next up were green peas and green almonds. Lovely combination, nice acidity to round it up. Enjoyed the no-waste counterpart with its flowery freshness. The pine nut turnip was well done, but did not excite me overly. The Kojo,jasmine and orange infused water was a real delight. The green asparagus did disappoint me a bit. Die to very strong acidity, the flavours were not as prominent as they could have been. I would say up until here, I was not so convinced, but after this point the menu stepped up its game considerably. From green, we went to white asparagus. While I am usually not a fan of the white, this asparagus blew my mind. The combination with the miso was amazing. Some acidity, some freshness. Next in line there was an explosion of taste. Fava beans and wild garlic were a rolling thunder, the excellent salad delivered a nice crunch and the ginger beer was complementing it perfectly. To me the beetroots are a „course of the year“ contender. Perfect presentation, strong flavours, playfully embedded in differing consistencies. Truly a masterpiece. The fruity sour cherry drink was the perfect match. Working towards the end of the warm dishes, I was arriving at the mushroom dish. Very well done, strong flavours. Not as exciting, but very, very tasty. The fermented pear juice with slight spiciness was a great choice. Truffle, butter and leak - do I need to say more? That dish pushed my culinary buttons :). Lovely drink to accompany it. The first desert - strawberrys and elderflowers -was simple. That’s by no means negative, as it fitted the menu perfectly. The second desert looked very lovely, it had pleasant flavours, but was not on the same level as the last ones. Overall I was very satisfied and had a great evening at the Encanto. Fully recommended.

Amazing experience at Encanto. Very good flavours, a tasting menu that has a line of thought keeping it all together, connecting the dishes to each other, while still presenting a new layer of taste as you go further down the tasting experience. The service is very attentive and cozy, the space is also very neat. Highly recommended 👌

I highly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable vegetarian dining experience. The staff was excellent throughout our visit. The sommelier selected outstanding wines that perfectly complemented our meal, while our waitress, Kiki, provided top-tier service. The bartender truly stood out, crafting mocktails that felt like they belonged in heaven. Don’t just read reviews—make a reservation and experience it yourself. Obrigado!

An amazing experience in a gentle atmosphere playing great jazzy sounds. The food was exceptional and the service and presentation was phenomenal. Did a 12 course with 6 local wine/port pairings. If go ask for Maria and Alfonso you won’t be disappointed.

Unfortunately the food did not wow me. Out of the 12 courses, I would say only 3 were good, the rest were either simply ok or sub standard. I always like to support vegetarian restaurants but this one was not worth the money.
