Refined French cuisine coupled with traditional Portuguese gastronomy heightens the menu at this elegant fine dining venue. The restaurant enjoys a prime city-centre location, positioned as it is next door to the five-star Hotel Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade. Directing the kitchen is executive chef Daniel Schlaipfer. Originally from Germany, Schlaipfer excels at combing the textures and flavours of southern Europe with those of the Atlantic to produce dishes like roasted rack of lamb with a crust of artichokes and herbs garnished with crispy garlic accompanied by vitellote potato. The sea bass cooked in rock salt served with sautéed vegetables, new potatoes and a fresh crispy salad exemplifies the seafood choice. The wine list features some truly exceptional Portuguese and French labels, including a rare Château Calon Ségur 2002.
