Belcanto restaurant opened in 1958 in the Chiado, in the São Carlos plaza beside the São Carlos national theatre and the birthplace of Fernando Pessoa. In the summer of 2011, the chef José Avillez became interested in Belcanto and began an extensive reform of the kitchens and dining rooms. José Avillez Belcanto restaurant, reopened in early 2012, fully renovated. In the Belcanto, awarded with a Michelin star, a year after opening, you can enjoy the new Portuguese cuisine in a sophisticated atmosphere that still offers some of the former romanticism of the Chiado district.
