A trailblazer in Lisbon’s dining scene since 2011, Yakuza is Olivier’s cult Japanese-fusion restaurant that sparked the city’s love affair with East-meets-West cuisine. Famed for its inventive sushi, sashimi and robata dishes, it’s a place where theatrical design meets bold flavour – think king crab with beurre blanc and Japanese vinegar, wagyu with shiso chimichurri, and black cod marinated in sweet yuzu. Seductive, stylish and consistently at the top of every foodie’s must-visit list, Yakuza has since expanded to Cascais, Algarve, Porto and Paris, cementing its status as a Portuguese icon with global appeal.

Set on the banks of the Tagus River with sweeping views over Alfama and Castelo de São Jorge, ÀCosta is Olivier’s modern love letter to Portugal’s Atlantic heritage. Opened in 2024, the restaurant reimagines classic Portuguese seafood – oysters, clams, lobster rice and charcoal-grilled fish – through a contemporary lens while keeping the soul of tradition intact. Awarded The Fork’s Best Opening of the Year within months, ÀCosta has already expanded to Vilamoura, fast becoming one of Portugal’s most exciting new seafood concepts and a must-visit for any food lover exploring Lisbon.
