One of the best Japanese restaurants in Lisbon and whole Portugal YAKUZA By OLIVIER presents exclusive creations, surprising with the impeccable combinations full of exotic tastes of East and West, in a sophisticated and inimitative atmosphere.
YAKUZA By OLIVIER is one of the concepts with the signature of Olivier da Costa, one of the most prestigious chefs and entrepreneurs in Portugal.
For over two decades, Olivier da Costa has been responsible for unique, original, unprecedented gastronomy and dining concepts, turning them into confirmed successes. Currently and beyond the YAKUZA, the Olivier’s group has five more concepts: Guilty, K.O.B., Savage, Seen and Clássico.
The YAKUZA By OLIVIER brand, which started in 2011 with its first restaurant in Lisbon, already has two more spaces in Cascais and Algarve, offering the same unique dishes of Japanese cuisine.
Chef Olivier offers a creative, eclectic and first-class menu for the discerning connoisseur, looking for a special joint where the flavors, creativity and traditions of both Mediterranean and Asian cuisines are combined.
From Sushi to Sashimi, more traditional or reinvented, Makizushi and famous Gunkans to Tempura, Robata and salads — you will find everything you need here.
Signature YAKUZA cocktails could be a great option to start: SAKERINHAS YAKUZA or
SHOGUN — both based on SAKE with various flavors of Tropical fruits and spices.
