I can’t say enough good things about our experience here. The food was insane. Having vegetarian food produced to such an amazing standard was an incredibly feat. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, this isn’t a normal night out for us and they made us feel welcome and special. The wine pairing was fantastic and although we felt pretty rough the next day we would do it all again!
This was hands down one of the best dining experiences of my life, and I highly recommend dining at Encanto to everyone. For the 12-course meal and fantastic service, burst of flavors, and food aesthetic, this meal felt totally worth the higher cost for me (for anyone contemplating or on the edge of a decision).
Especially as a vegetarian, my Encanto experience made me view vegetables in a completely different light, with each vegetable getting it’s time to shine with each carefully prepared dish which was served. I felt lucky to be able to experience every dish at a Michelin star restaurant, without being restricted by my vegetarian diet. My personal favorite was the fried zucchini flower with pumpkin sauce, and elderflower ash buttered bread spread, both of which are on my mind even weeks later.
Thank you to the staff at Encanto for a lovely, one of a kind experience. I sure do hope to come back soon!

Great evening! We liked almost all of the 12 courses, in particular the 2nd (tomato), 4th (courgette), 8th (alheiro) and 10th (mushrooms). Wine pairing (of solely Portuguese wines!) was also definitively worth it, albeit that servings were sometimes a bit too modest.
BTW, I noticed a few critical vegan reviews here. Do not recognise it. The menu is already 90% vegan and the lady next to me bumped it up to a 100% without too munch hassle.

As a vegetarian, I had great hopes for a Michelin star vegetarian restaurant. I felt let down and robbed of my 330 euros (for 2). The flavors declined after the first 2 of the 12 moments. Many of the dishes had a raw uncooked vegetable flavor. Maybe that's what they were going for, but one would eat a store bought salad for that experience. I am not even sure why this place has a Michelin star. Some of the regular average restaurants have better flavor to their food. Even the ambience of the restaurant, presentation of the food and the lovely service of the waiters could not save us from the painful dinner experience. I wish I had considered some of the other critical reviews of this place more seriously and refrained from spending my evening and money here. Do not recommend and will not go back here.
Out of body experience. IMO it was way better than Jose Andres Minibar as we went there one month ago. Every dish for the 3.5-4 hr experience was superb, amazingly designed to bring out flavor of the ingredients and elegantly presented. We paid $355 for two people total which included two drinks and tip.
Highly recommend for any vegetarian or non vegetarian.

Lovely hidden 1 star Michelin vegetarian restaurant. Reservations required. When you arrive ring the bell and staff will come to open the door. Set tasting menu, option to add drink pairing, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic available. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable while there heard the staff speaking French,Spanish,Portuguese and English. Staff did of a great job of describing dishes in the guests native language. Went for a special occasion and the staff brought us a lovely additional dessert.
Encanto, a restaurant located in the heart of Lisbon, is a true culinary gem. The menu is an artful blend of flavors, textures, and colors that showcase the chef's culinary expertise. Each dish is a masterful composition that delights the senses with its tasteful refinement.
Their gin tonic is a true standout. Crafted with precision and care, it is a libation that embodies the essence of the restaurant - a blend of elegance, creativity, and exceptional taste. Overall, Encanto is a must-visit destination for any discerning food lover, with its meticulous attention to detail, impeccable presentation, and exceptional taste.

Truly an incredible 3 hour dining experience. We tasted 14 amazing & thoughtful ‘moments’ as described by Nuno & his colleagues. Very knowledge wine pairings & delicious cocktail suggestions as well. We were celebrating our honeymoon & enjoyed a delicious piece of cake from the restaurant as well. Truly a dining experience I have never had before & will treasure forever! You must try this place! Well worth the price.
