About
Located in Chiado, the Cantinho do Avillez restaurant welcomes you with a natural blend of the traditional and the modern. Quality is the priority with Chef Jose Avillez, and so nothing is left to chance. The cuisine, largely Portuguese inspired, is nevertheless influenced by travels abroad. The menu offers a wide choice of appetizers, "pregos" (steak sandwiches), entrees, main dishes and desserts, so that the gastronomic experience can be different at each visit. The service, which is pleasant and informal, contributes to the cheerful and relaxed ambiance.

Very Disappointing

Well, this is a "bistro" restaurant owned by a famous Portuguese chef. Supposed to be great. Our experience was not. We waited about 20 minutes to even order drinks. Another 20 or 30 for the appetizers to arrive and finally well over an hour from...More

Excellent dinner

We went for dinner at the Cantinho do Avilez twice during our 4 day stay at Porto. The mushroom risotto was outstanding. We also had a seafood risotto and octopus - both dishes very good. Th he place is packed with tourists, you need reservations.

No. In general Portuguese people dress nicely for dinner, yet not formal.

You can wear whatever pleases you, no dress code. Usually the Portuguese won’t wear shorts or flip flops when they go out for dinner.
