Cantinho do Avillez

  • Cantinho do Avizzes Porto

Chef Jose Avillez has become something of a celebrity in Portugal and his acclaimed dishes are served in four or five restaurants in the capital city of Lisbon. And luckily, Porto is now home to one of Jose Avillez’s most renowned restaurants, the Cantinho do Avillez. The food is delicious and the chef has succeeded in giving a modern twist to many traditional Portuguese dishes, satisfying his clientele with comfort food with a bit of modernity. Shrimp in olive oil and wine were the starters to be shared, followed by cod with eggs and olive spheres and a delicious cheesecake with berries and basil. Scrumptious. We once heard Avillez’s restaurants are not what they used to be years ago, but in our opinion the innovative menus continue to deliver simply delicious food and the whole experience is really enjoyable.
