The red guide’s inspectors have recognised once again the quality of two of the leading lights of the Lisbon restaurant scene, Tapisco and Pesca, by awarding them a Michelin Plate.

An award that, according to the Michelin guide, attests to a “talented kitchen”, with “fresh ingredients, prepared competently: basically, a good meal”.

Tapisco, a Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa restaurant with a branch in Porto, is described as “a contemporary restaurant that does justice to its name - a combination of the words ‘tapas’ and ‘petiscos'”. The guide makes particular mention of the dishes that are designed for sharing.

Pesca, a haute cuisine project led by Chef Diogo Noronha, is also much praised. It is described as a restaurant that focuses on “traditional and Mediterranean cooking and the use of local produce that is carefully prepared and superbly presented”.
