Relais & Châteaux has close to 100 restaurants “only” without guest accommodations so that the gastronomical profession can take centre stage. Creators of emotions and artisans of flavour, the chefs of these restaurants are committed to Relais & Châteaux’s commitment to taste: products selected from local producers and respect for biodiversity and the seasons.
The aim of Relais & Châteaux restaurants is to create an extraordinary experience by creating lasting gastronomic memories for its guests. Creating the experience begins with the restaurant’s setting, which enhances the chef’s world of flavours. Then comes the experience of sharing with the restaurant’s staff in the dining room, who with their confident and precise manner, elegantly reveal the chef’s culinary identity. From this common endeavour is born a unique occasion for everyone to enjoy incredible flavours, a signature style and vision.

Restaurant in town. Agli Amici, which was thus named in the 1960s when it was a meeting place for a group of friends from the village, is a wonderful family adventure, which started in 1887 as a café-tobacconist. At present it is run by siblings: Michela ensures that the tradition of hospitality lives on and promotes wines from small producers and forgotten vineyards. In the kitchen, Emanuele reinvents traditional dishes and gives pride of place to the produce of this region which boasts both mountains and the sea – sea bass, sea urchins, pork, vegetables –, whilst wild herbs gathered in the surrounding area add an original finishing touch to meticulously produced dishes.

The new governor of the island, that would be Chef Ansanay-Alex.

Restaurant in town. By taking over Belcanto in 2012, chef José Avillez has opened a new chapter in the history of this award-winning restaurant that has been installed in the romantic neighbourhood of Chiado since 1958. Its complete renovation did not disappoint. Amid its sober and sophisticated decor, the restaurant hosts only ten tables, providing guests with a highly exclusive experience. Diverse and creative, the cuisine revisits Portuguese gastronomy through a continuous study that deals as much with flavours as it does textures. A giant red prawn is thus confronted by rosemary ash, an oxtail marries with foie gras and chickpeas, and all is done in rhythm with the seasons and inspiration.
