Michelin announced its 2023 stars for Portugal – this year there are five more awarded restaurants, which is quite an accomplishment, but unfortunately still no three-star restaurants.
Holding steady his two stars in Belcanto, chef José Avillez’s vegetarian Encanto got its first one-star award.
The Japanese-influenced Kabuki and Kanazawa, both in Lisbon, were also distinguished at one-star level. In Porto, Euskalduna Studio and Le Monument each were awarded one Michelin star.
Mesa de Lemos in Viseu retained its one star award, and got a Michelin Green Star for its sustainable cuisine.
There are now 38 Michelin starred-restaurants in Portugal. Lisbon is home to 12 acclaimed restaurants, including 2 two-star restaurants.
