Just 30 minutes outside Lisbon, in Cascais, you’ll find @kappo.cascais One of only two Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, where Portuguese ingredients meet Japanese philosophy.
Chef @tiagopenao trained under Japanese chefs for years, building a cuisine rooted in the traditions of kappo: “cut and cook” - a chef-led tasting menu focused on technique, seasonality and respect for the product.
From carabinero with its own bisque and egg emulsion to pristine local seafood prepared with Japanese restraint, the menu showcases Portugal’s best ingredients through a Japanese lens.
The meal ends with a traditional Edomae sushi sequence - local tuna, hamachi and sardines prepared according to classic techniques. Easily the highlight, and reason enough to return.
Kappo captures the spirit of Japan while remaining unmistakably Portuguese. A Michelin star well deserved.

🇬🇧 “The evolution of Japanese cuisine in Portugal in recent years has been remarkable. We’ve transitioned from a relentless pursuit of fusion and confusion spaces to an increasing number of restaurants seeking the essence and purity behind the combination of neta and shari. With this, Kappo firmly positions itself at the epicenter of Portuguese-Japanese gastronomy’s top offerings.

This lunch was undoubtedly an excellent starting point—a “teaser” for what the omakase menu promises. To make a fair assessment, it’s in the full menu where Tiago fully showcases the fusion between Japanese tradition and his unique vision. However, even with the shorter menu, Kappo is worth every moment for the excellence of its fish and attention to detail, despite minor areas for improvement. These details, I believe, have already been addressed with the current schedule and focused offering.” - full article on the blog

🇵🇹“A evolução da cozinha japonesa nos últimos anos em Portugal tem sido notável, passamos de uma vontade e de uma procura incessante por espaços de fusão e confusão para a implementação cada vez maior de restaurantes que procuram a essência e a pureza por trás da conjugação de neta e shari. E aqui é impossível não situar o Kappo no epicentro das grandes propostas de gastronomia japonesa em Portugal.
Este almoço foi sem dúvida um excelente ponto de partida – uma espécie de “teaser” daquilo que promete o menu de omakase. Para ser justo numa avaliação, será na prova do menu que Tiago demonstrará, por completo, a fusão entre a tradição japonesa e a sua visão única. No entanto, mesmo com o menu mais curto, o Kappo vale cada momento pela excelência do peixe, pelo cuidado com os detalhes, mesmo que aqui e ali houvessem pontos a melhorar. Pormenores esses que acredito terem sido já corrigidos com horário atual e concentração da proposta.“ - artigo completo no blog

🇬🇧”Offering an omakase-style experience, Kappo invites diners to trust the chef, delivering an intimate journey that unveils the true essence of Edomae sushi and Japanese cuisine within an acceptable dining model.
Tiago Penão is a key figure when discussing Japanese cuisine in Portugal. His career includes a Michelin star earned at Midori (see) alongside Chef Pedro Almeida and a notable stint at Praia no Parque, where he shared the counter with Lucas Azevedo. At Kappo, Penão combines the precision of Japanese craftsmanship with the richness of Portuguese ingredients, showcasing items like cockles and sardines with impeccable technique. This passion recently led him to establish Izakaya, Kappo’s more casual sibling, which pays homage to the informal culture of Japanese taverns.“ - read the full article on the blog

🇵🇹 “Com uma proposta omakase, o Kappo convida os comensais a confiar nas mãos do chef, oferecendo uma experiência intimista que revela a verdadeira essência do sushi edomae e da cozinha japonesa num modelo de fine dining.
Tiago Penão é um nome incontornável quando falamos da cozinha japonesa em Portugal. A sua trajetória inclui uma estrela Michelin conquistada no Midori ao lado do chef Pedro Almeida, e de uma passagem marcante pelo Praia no Parque, onde dividiu o balcão com Lucas Azevedo. No Kappo, Penão conjuga a precisão artesanal nipónica com a riqueza do produto português, explorando ingredientes como o berbigão ou a sardinha com uma técnica irrepreensível. Esta mesma paixão levou-o a criar mais recentemente o Izakaya, o irmão mais descontraído do Kappo, onde se homenageia a cultura informal das tascas japonesas.” - lê o artigo completo no blog

@tiagopenao knows what he wants (part I). And he masters what he does. Great product, beautiful and delicate flavours, textures, impeccable doneness. Ah Edomae-inspired omakase menu at a very high level, full of sensibility, flavour and daring quality. A pleasure to “taste” your dedication, irreverence and sense of purpose @tiagopenao 👏🏻🔥
