FEITORIA Restaurant (1 star Michelin), located on the Lisbon seaside at Altis Belém Hotel & Spa, attracts guests from different parts of the world with an unforgettable experience, where traditional Portuguese gastronomy discovers and blends with the more exotic cuisines of the world, preserving the genuine essence of local traditional flavors.
FEITORIA specializes in signature dishes created by the skillful hand of the Chef João Rodrigues. A world-renowned award-winner, João focuses on Portuguese products, revealing their authenticity and quality.
Product is at the epicentre of FEITORIA’s creative process. The quality of the ingredients and the research behind each one ensures the richness and grade of the restaurant kitchen.
João Rodrigues delights the guests with new signature dishes every season, which he creates with his dedicated team. The new menu called CAMINHO (“path” from Portuguese) consists of 7 or 9 courses, each of which has its own name and meaning. Both options are also available in vegetarian versions.
The journey kicks off with a sumptuous atmosphere of sophistication and is complemented by a generous selection of fine wines — from the best local hand picked casts to those carefully selected from international wineries.
Restaurant Chef sommelier André Figuinha has developed a special wine accompaniment for each moment of the menu.
