Leiliane ValadaresMarch 31, 2017I must say that I had a really happy time in Lisbon. Specially when we talk about food. Dinner at Bairro do Avillez was a great experience. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Simply PERFECT

João FigueiredoFebruary 17, 2017Tried the tapas concept and everything was very good, from the tuna to the mushroom and dry tomatoes salad, as well as the picanha. Well decorated tavern with lots of Portuguese food references.
Sofia GalegoMay 2, 2017Go for theTaberna and forget Bairro do Avillez itself, which is definitely not money worth it! Food in Taberna is delicious and yummy can't say the same thing about the other! Get the sardine tartar!
AlexandriaApril 8, 2017Everything we tried was really good; lettuce wraps, cod, chorizo bread and beef croquettes. But the octopus was the best! Better to make a reservation but you can have a nice drink while you wait
Benjamin MillerApril 4, 2017Really nice and chilled restaurant close to Bairro Alto... Food was really good, I had the Iberico Pork - slightly more expensive than the traditional restaurants close by but worth the money
Nadia Geneviève MasriNovember 13, 2016The food here is amazing. They stop serving at midnight so it's great for a late dinner before you go bar hopping. Get the octopus, tuna steak, and cod lettuce wrap!
Mathilde GautierJune 25, 2017Eve-ry-thing ! I would recommend the Portuguese charcuterie and cheese platter for starters and the octopus as a small dish. Waiters are of good advice and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
Thomas BrooksSeptember 25, 2017One of the best restaurants we were at for our honeymoon. It was my bday that day as well and they gave us free chocolate cake which was incredible. Sea bass was exquisite!
Red VikingApril 19, 2017Starters are delicious. Main courses with fish and seafood are at acceptable levels. Main courses with meat are outstanding.
Annkathrin JaninaMarch 9, 2018Very friendly staff! We had the beefsteak and the tuna sandwich, both were great! Definitely come here for great food and atmosphere! Price for sandwiches and drinks was 26€
Mindy YapOctober 19, 2018Perhaps my expectations were too high, given the José Avillez name. Food was good for sure, but definitely not outstanding. Come here for a relatively “safe” meal.
- Journey City GuidesJune 20, 2017A multi-space gastronomic experience inspired by the best Portuguese flavors. The most atypical and surprising of Lisbon's neighborhoods!
- Mike BroscheApril 3, 2018Great place, we ate in the Taberna, lettuce leaf dishes, octopus, tuna and the exploding olives were standouts with a very good all round wine list as well, we had an excellent Gewürztraminer
ZuzNovember 12, 2017There’s nothing better than staring at the open kitchen while they prepare your food. Love the steak, wine selection and the atmosphere! Long wait for a table around dinner time (as in most places)
Vesa HalttunenJune 15, 2017The lettuce heart was very good and the grilled Iberian pork strips were the best pork dish I've had in my life. Didn't order the strips though so the service was both great and not so good.
Winnie SheuNovember 27, 2016The octopus dish is the best octopus i have had in my life :) (and i am from an island) The octopus is cooked perfectly and the sauce is very well-balanced and just simply delicious!
Andrew LunkoDecember 25, 2019A bit pricey but tasty, the service is good as well. The best part they seem to be open for the whole day, so if for some reason you are hungry after 16 in Lisbon, check this one out
Christoph HeimerJanuary 10, 2018Atmosphere, the waiters, the food and the entire concept of getting several small mixed plates to share is super nice. You can really taste the quality and love that went Into each dish!
Stacey BrookJune 19, 2018The latest in Lisbon’s upscale food courts, coming from José Avillez. Has different eating areas including a taberna, a gourmet market, a courtyard restaurant with seafood, and a “gourmet cabaret."
Darya MalyutinaNovember 22, 2017Restaurant with a focus on fish (but meat lovers will definitely find something as well).Our rating: Beef tartar - 3/5, crab filling - 5/5, caramel latte - 5/5, beef croquet - 5/5, octopus salad - 4/5
Nazlı BinyıldırımNovember 10, 2017Well designed interior, unexpectedly small portions, slightly disappointing price-performance... Good to give it a try but I probably wouldn’t go again.
Ken SOctober 28, 2016The food is so good!! Be sure to get a tasty Vinho Verde, a craft beer, and lots of Iberico Ham. The cod lettuce cup is the best item on the menu!!
Anika HuangJune 27, 2017Iberian pork steak, codfish lettuce wrap, suckled pig sandwich, beef croquette were all amazing, a bit expensive but almost everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious.
Woof DublinFebruary 10, 2019The cod was really really great. One of the best dishes I had in Lisbon. You have to try the exploding olives too
Yingxue YangOctober 13, 2019ate in Taberna (in the beginning we didn’t even realize that there is more than one section). Very good food but a bit pricy. octopus, asparagus, ham are outstanding!
Thomas RuschkeDecember 16, 2017Pimentos (small peppers), Gambas, and Steak were great! Really friendly & fast service as well. Highly recommended!
Tathi KnackApril 30, 2018OVERRATED! Terrible service and average (to poor) food. Waiters are always too busy to give you any attention. Expect your order to come 20mins before or after the order from whoever came w/ you.- Bianca HeuschJuly 7, 2017Everything is great! Chef José Avillez has never disappointed us. Both Cantinho do Avillez and Bairro do Avillez were the best restaurants in whole Portugal!!
- Tim FosterSeptember 30, 2017Ate at the Pateo section. Probably the best sea bass I have ever had. The rest of the menu was pretty good too!
Cüneyt GüneşJuly 23, 2019Good service and they are open between 3pm and 7pm which is quite unusual in siesta countries, however, food is below the average. Tried 3 dishes and liked only one of them which was the octopus.
- MENU PortugalAugust 23, 2016Great concept. Quality Portuguese good with Chef's touch, one of the newest projects of famous Jose Avillez. Laid back and fun atmosphere, good food!
Erik KriessmannSeptember 22, 2018Charcuterie and cheese are on point. As is everything else. Enjoy. This place has awesome vibes!
Ayca SahinAugust 22, 2018There are 3 restaurants. The ambiance is great. We went there for lunch and only cantina part was open. Beaf steak sandwich was delicious.
Ken ArmitageJanuary 12, 2017Great service, good cocktails and food was very tasty. Is slightly more expensive then other places for what get.
Artem KarpNovember 14, 2016octopus with garlic and kim-chi sauce is very tasty! the interior is very nice!
Marta ValenzaJanuary 15, 2019Very tasty, I loved everything I had. The price is justified by the wonderful taste.
Carolina AlmeidaOctober 19, 2016Beautifully put together, great cheeses, ham and beef sandwich. Waiters still a bit lost.
SabrinaFebruary 6, 2018Great high quality restaurant. It's a little pricey but they have a good selection. Try pluma de porco and local charcuteries.
Mariana RodriguesAugust 12, 2017New point from Avillez - two restaurants / taberna is cheaper and more for tapas - try the lettuce wrap with pork meat
Christophe Chan HinMay 24, 2017One of 6 Restaurants from José Avillez, this one has a focus on Tapas. In any case, order the combined cheese/ham plate.
Pedro VaccaraMay 21, 2017Nothing but great Portuguese tapas. The octopus, asparagus salad and the cod with lettuce are few dishes you should try. Totally recommend it!- Amy YNovember 4, 2016Jose Avillez says: "Try their bacalhau a braz (salt cod, potato, and egg) for some true comfort food."
cosmicsupervoidSeptember 23, 2016We tried 8 small and medium sized dished and all of them were delicious! Salted caramel was awesome.- Muffin ManApril 9, 2019WHY THERE: Portuguese cuisine. STUFF: fine. STAFF: smooth. LOCATION: close to mainstream (convenient). PRICES: high (reasonable)
- merve yoneymanDecember 21, 2017everything we had was amazing 😄 tuna steak is surreal. giant red shrimp as well a must-try.
Gülçin YildirimOctober 21, 2018Service is very confused, they forgot our starter. Tuna steak was good but beef was not edible, half was fat and the other half was chewy. Way below my expectation :/- Tia VeBlaNovember 25, 2021We shared 4 starters, all very good, but disappointed of the two main courses of Cod fish. Nice ambience.
