Perfect date spot to try Avillez's creative, Michelin star winning food at incredible affordable prices -- 30 euro pp including wine. Prego steak sandwich with egg, Hazelnut^3, professor eggs.

Maybe Chef's Avillez best restaurant! Traditional Portuguese food with a twist. You must try the tuna tartar and the scallops. If you like beef tartar this is one of the best in town!

Best of all!In a nice, relaxed atmosphere, you can enjoy the best food.Tried 4 starters(too much)and they were all amazing: scallops,eggs,'farinha' sausage-delicious!Lamb and pork mains were super too

Puns tartare is awesome. The steak is really great. Trust the staff recommendations,we didn't go wrong. The triple hazelnut dessert was also amazing. Highly recommended!
Ernesto GutierrezJune 17, 2017
Immerse yourself in this culinary experience. Try the tuna tartare, the polvo the algarve (octopus) and the hazelnut3 dessert. Thank me later.

A relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, with a simple but sophisticated cuisine by Lisbon's most awarded chef. Informal but unmissable
Bonnie WongJune 12, 2016
My favourite Professor's eggs go really well with bread. Tried also the cod and hazelnut^3. Food is good but would have expected more variation in flavour from a two star Michelin chef restaurant.
Monica DesaiAugust 18, 2016
The professor's eggs, the hazelnut cubed and the steak sandwich are divine. Great place for a romantic date night!
Mari S.July 24, 2016
Had the tartare, but god, what were those fries!? Avillez managed to make french fries taste unforgettable!! The codfish and the hazelnut desert are awesome to.
Ville HaapamäkiApril 13, 2017
Tunatartar was a bit spicy (too much horseraddish for me 🤧) but portobello risotto and beeftartar were fantastic. It was possible to share those two maincourses with my companion which was fine

The restaurant is rustic, cozy and a bit small, so make sure you make a reservation. The food is excellent, and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! Very good bar and gin menu.

Fantastic food and setting - service was a little sloppy for the style of restaurant but the food was too good to worry overly.
FredNovember 3, 2018
Hazelnut dessert confirmed as a must, but don’t eat layer by layer : duck very deep to get all flavours combined
Tejjy GauthierAugust 14, 2014
A creative good food, great wines, in a modern atmosphere. A little bit expensive for Lisbon, but everything is made to make you feel at home. To do.
Andreas CohenJuly 28, 2016
Try the marinated scallops on a bed of avocado #awesome. Everything's great with a lovely twist
Craig VillamorJune 26, 2019
Best meal in 5 days in Lisbon by a mile. Don’t miss the risotto or the hazelnut dessert. Both are exceptional.
Alina TacosJuly 24, 2016
Great atmosphere, service, amazing tuna tartar and the eggs.. Still waiting on the mains, but I am impressed wow
Andrew LitvakNovember 29, 2017
Really great food and cocktails. The codfish was super tasteful, and the hazelnut^3... yeah, definitely worth a visit.
Anna KaminovaJanuary 17, 2017
The best mushroom risotto ever, but cod (photo) and lamb tajine were okay. Cool design of the place. And few molecular touches in the dishes.
Stefan NikcevicJanuary 8, 2022
One of the best tuna tartars I have ever had. Also try the beef croquette and beef tartare! Great service and atmosphere.
Joshua PhoonDecember 28, 2017
Every starter and main that my family had (fish soup, tuna tartar, scallops, octopus and pork) were very good!
Niamh SheerinApril 17, 2017
Cod was excellent. Tuna tartare was excellent. Wasn't crazy about the scallop starter.
Ben GaspariniNovember 10, 2018
Pork and risotto were great. Strong expresso martinis and delicious appetizers (finger pie) as well.
Cris GoncalvesMay 15, 2013
Great service and a nice environment. The traditional Prego is really tasty! (Actually, I guess it is one of the best options in the menu, as food in general can be a bit expensive)
themanwiththeluggageSeptember 21, 2015
Perfect for dates for its coziness. Good Portuguese cuisine, both fish and meat and good wine selection.
FredNovember 3, 2018
Excellent local pork with black beans and home made crisps
MENU PortugalOctober 27, 2016
All good here - atmosphere, dishes, their design and also wines selection. Top place.
EllieNovember 6, 2016
Cozy and simple decor, inconsistent although occasionally brilliant food, and yet the same clueless ( inefficient, muddled, well-meaning but incompetent) service all too common in the city.
Shirley LiuSeptember 9, 2016
Amazing cocktails including the Juanito (Jameson and pineapple). Loved the tuna tartare!
Maya Abdul-LatifAugust 23, 2021
Great Portuguese Food! Lovely atmosphere. Recommend the fried green beans, the risotto, the bacalhau and the hazelnut for dessert.
Madelene HanikatOctober 26, 2015
Tuna and tempura green bean for starter was amazing. The cocktails were fantastic! Great service!
Aivory GawApril 18, 2014
The friend green beans are great!! Love the prego steak sandwich with egg and the hazelnut3 tastes like a heavenly grown up kinder bueno. Delish1
Can GürvitAugust 15, 2014
Sauteed poultry liver and farinheira sausages as starters, and risotto as the main course were more than perfect. What a lovely place.
LauSeptember 23, 2014
The cured tuna starter followed by scallops and a steak made for a perfectly indulgent evening meal. Washed down with a cocktail. Hmmm!
aydinApril 10, 2013
For the fans of Anthony Bourdain, this is his choice! Crazy olive bombs in mouth- simple food with the taste certified by Michelin! Chiado'da 1 gun evvelden rezervasyon, ama inanilmaz keyifli!
Ece OzkanNovember 3, 2018
Scallops are amazing and if you have room for dessert - hazelnut is to die for 😍
Tobias OtteAugust 22, 2015
One of the best restaurants in Lisbon. The risotto was amazing. Great cocktails and wine list. No reservations.
TingApril 21, 2013
Cocktails were superb. Food was good but not amazing. I would recommend to share several small dishes and a few mains. Make sure to make a reservation.
Mattia MeleJuly 20, 2018
Great atmosphere, the rooms are a bit too dark but the food was really good. A bit expensive... Bad point was that I ask the waiter to shut down or at least block the air con but he refused.
Daniel DaveyMay 9, 2018
Partridge pies, lamb tagine and mushroom risotto are all great.
Michael HoldsworthMarch 30, 2015
Brilliant food. Came for our final meal in Lisbon, more expensive than anywhere else we went but reflected in the quality. Worth checking out.
JuergenJune 3, 2013
No reservation ... Thanks for the wonderful team and the great food. Superb evening will come back for the blood sausage !
Natasha Friis SaxbergNovember 5, 2018
Great food - a favorite place for the locals.
Cemal BuyukgokcesuDecember 18, 2016
Try the hazelnut desert. It is from a different planet.
Erdem TosunMarch 14, 2018
Nice ambiance, decoration is romantic but food is so so. Waiters are not so informative and knowledgeable about what they are serving. Worth to visit but Do not expect much.
Cobey FlynnJanuary 10, 2016
Very interesting meatballs in curry. Rice was cooked perfectly.
Carolina AlmeidaDecember 26, 2015
Lovely cheese starter. Great black pig and chocolate cake. Very good service.
Inna GDecember 20, 2021
The cooked cheese, tuna tar tar in Asian sauce, and pancetta rice was good, skip avocado scallop appetizer.
LisaMarch 21, 2019
Egg starter was fantastic. Main (pork neck) and cocktails were average...
Joseph GreenawaltSeptember 1, 2014
Great service. The steak sandwich was amazing. Don't expect to get a table without a reservation.
