A última (e única) visita ao Belcanto tinha ocorrido há uns longínquos 9 anos, aproveitando a visita ao restaurante para entrevistar @joseavillez, no âmbito da minha tese de mestrado sobre ‘Alta Cozinha e Arte’ (a quem interessar, basta fazer esta pesquisa no Google, é o 1.o link), ainda barba rija me faltava, um aprendiz a iniciar-me nos estudos sobre o vasto mundo da gastronomia.

A última (e única) visita ao Belcanto tinha ocorrido há uns longínquos 9 anos, aproveitando a visita ao restaurante para entrevistar @joseavillez, no âmbito da minha tese de mestrado sobre ‘Alta Cozinha e Arte’ (a quem interessar, basta fazer esta pesquisa no Google, é o 1.o link), ainda barba rija me faltava, um aprendiz a iniciar-me nos estudos sobre o vasto mundo da gastronomia.
.
A experiência foi marcante, e entre as obras primas que à boca foram bem recordo o tremoço em esferificação, o cozido (que confidenciou José Avilez já ter feito chorar um comensal), o leitão, a laranja.
.
Volvidos tantos anos, o regresso não podia ter sido mais especial, em dia aniversário. Tal como eu, o Belcanto está mais maduro, sólido, consistente, com mais uma estrela no curriculum⭐️⭐️, e agora presente na lista dos melhores do mundo, em 25º @theworlds50best. Está também de look renovado, tendo-se mudado para um espaço bem mais amplo, o que muito ajudou a estes voos de consagração.
.
Desta feita, optou-se por reviver os clássicos já conhecidos mas tb outros mais recentes - e que bela aposta foi! As sobremesas, essas, continuam a cargo do meu confrade @americodosantos , que aqui criou a sua versão de Rabanada. Um menu empolgante do princípio ao fim, muito bem acompanhado por um serviço de sala irrepreensível 🙌🏻. Parabéns a toda a equipa, e obrigado por terem feito deste um dia bem especial dia, inesquecível! #omelhorde2023 Less

So good to be back at @belcanto_joseavillez to find once again hospitality at its best and a multitude of recent dishes that are truly outstanding (the cherry gazpacho with almond milk, sharp and creamy, the Jerusalem artichoke in different textures with Lt egg and truffle poultry jus, with plenty of umami, the blue lobster curry and giant red shrimp, utterly delicious, the cured and smoked horse mackerel, the game, coriander and cod sounds....to name a few). #consistency #wechefs...
