    We walked up without a reservation for an early Monday dinner. We had read many good things about…read morethis restaurant and it was close to our airbnb so we gave it a try. We were greeted coldly since we did not have a reservation. They reluctantly gave us a table on the patio. We expected it to be jammed given that reception but the place was never close to full all evening... Anyway, the rest of the experience was better since the food was so good. The charcuterie plate was one of the best we had during our two weeks in Portugal. The roast octopus and the shrimp were good. The puff pastry starter with a stew filling barely had any meat filling so that was disappointing. The highlight was the excellent fries - perfectly done - hot and crispy. We did pop inside and wow what a space - it is part of the opera house. Really stunning. But it was way too nice outside to eat inside...

    While we wished to try José Avillez's Michelin-starred restaurant, Cafe Lisboa, another of his…read morerestaurant just across the plaza and opens for lunch, fit easier in the travel schedule as well as the budget. We were happier still to find out that they offer an executive lunch for €16.50. There are a few choices for appetizer, and eight main courses from salad to steak. The price also includes water, bread, some cheese and spread - and before you scoff, be reminded that these are usually NOT free in restaurants in Portugal. For starters we tried the Caldo Verde, the famous cabbage and potato soup, and this one is definitely one of the best specimens we've ever tried. The broad beans with cilantro was light, refreshing and beautifully presented. Bacalhau à brás is one of the many ways you can enjoy codfish (which, incidentally, are not caught in Portuguese seas), and again the preparation here is a winner. The dish is done more on the creamy and moist side, with the modern twist of using little globs of spherified olive a la el Bulli. While there is a modern twist here and there, overall, the dishes do not depart far from how they have been prepared for generations. True to the Portuguese roots, they are also often presented without fancy dressing up: our croquette arrived rolling forlornly on a white plate. We sat in the courtyard as the weather was really nice, and also because everyone in the dining room donned business suits and our casual travel gear seemed out of place. Nonetheless, we received great service, genuinely friendly and not pretentious at all. A great introductory restaurant if you want to try out José Avillez.
