Mini Bar - José Avillez

A hip speakeasy-style venue and experiential dining experience, from one of the most renowned Portuguese chefs.

From one of the most renowned Portuguese chefs - comes this playful speakeasy-style venue - hidden away at the back Bairro do Avillez (“Avillez’s neighbourhood”) - a warehouse-like food court comprising several notable sit-down restaurants - all housed in a former convent in the hip Chiado neighbourhood. 

Mini Bar’s retro décor and lively vibe sets the scene for a procession of sophisticated snacks and inventive small dishes arranged in five "acts", such as foie gras bonbons and tuna tartare served in a cone. Best to order the 'Ribalta' tasting menu (from €85 per person) where you can try some of the best selections - all fully explained from charming and well informed waiting staff. The theatrical gastronomic experience is best enjoyed later in the week when there is live music and entertainment.
