Pateo - Bairro do Avillez

José Avillez, one of the city's most distinguished chefs, has created his own foodie "neighborhood" incorporating a range of dining styles. For formal meals, there's the spectacular Páteo (a wrought-iron balcony encircles the room, which is illuminated by an enormous skylight) and a more casual tavern called Taberna (the kind of place where haunches of ham hang over the bar). Then there's Pizzaria Lisboa, where the thin-crust pies are prepared with great care; and Mini Bar, a secluded and dimly-lit spot for intimate drinks and small plates for sharing.

Chef and restaurateur José Avillez has given a lot to the city, from the prestigious two Michelin-starred Belcanto to the simple Taberna, a great place for a snack, lunch or quick dinner, at the entrance of restaurant Bairro do Avillez in Chiado. There’s a long list of charcuterie and cheeses, as well as favourites such as the thick and hearty steak and mustard sandwich (€15,75) and a more elaborate broad-bean salad with chorizo (€10,50). New on the menu is the meagre (a large white fish) with pesto, cauliflower and green beans (€20,50).

Bairro (“neighborhood” in Portuguese) is a huge space that houses four different restaurants by chef Jose Avillez. Taberna is a casual, lively lunch or dinner spot that’s outfitted like a fancy deli, with glass cases stuffed with cheeses and meats. Páteo is a massive sun-lit hall where you can linger over a plate of bacalhau com brás (salted cod, potatoes, and eggs) for a few hours over dinner.
