Planning dinner at a MICHELIN-starred restaurant in Lisbon comes down to the same practical questions at each one: what the menu costs, which days it's open and how to get a table. This guide to Michelin restaurants in Lisbon covers four of them: the city's three two-star restaurants, Belcanto, Henrique Sá Pessoa and Fifty Seconds, plus one-star Encanto. Star status follows the MICHELIN Guide as we checked it on 23 October 2026. Prices, opening hours and booking rules come from each restaurant's own website, checked on 23 October 2026. Menus and prices change with the seasons, so check the restaurant's site before you book.

Each of the four also has its own page with the key facts at a glance: Belcanto, Henrique Sá Pessoa, Fifty Seconds and Encanto. For all of Lisbon's starred restaurants side by side, see our Lisbon page.

Planning a Lisbon trip around these tables

Book the table first. Booking dinner before flights and a hotel avoids planning a trip around a date you can't get. None of the four websites we read gives a booking window, so check each restaurant's booking system early.

Match the day to the restaurant. By their websites' hours, Belcanto is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, Fifty Seconds for dinner Tuesday to Saturday and lunch on Saturday, and Encanto for dinner Tuesday to Saturday. None of those three lists Sunday or Monday. Henrique Sá Pessoa doesn't publish hours on its website, so check its booking page.

Lunch options. Belcanto serves lunch Tuesday to Saturday, with tasting menus until 1.30 pm, and Fifty Seconds serves lunch on Saturdays.

Budget in euros. Menus as listed on 23 October 2026: Belcanto 295 € (tasting menu), Henrique Sá Pessoa 245 (Clássicos or Costa a Costa) or 160 (Encontros), Fifty Seconds €235 to €295 depending on the number of stops, and Encanto 155 €. Drinks pairings are extra. Belcanto and Encanto both add a suggested 10% gratuity to the bill.

Groups. Belcanto takes seven or more by email, and Encanto takes more than 8 by email. Henrique Sá Pessoa has a private room, booked by email.
