Loco

In this restaurant, located just a few steps from the 18C Baroque Basílica da Estrela, they are keen to highlight their connection with micro-seasonal ingredients to maximise the flavour of each one and to meet their zero-waste criteria. Loco is full of surprises as soon as you step through the door, starting with the tree hanging from the ceiling of the entrance hall – a sensation that is enhanced by its extensive designer features and a completely open-view kitchen. Head chef Alexandre Silva’s culinary philosophy is fully focused on a single surprise tasting menu comprising 16 “moments” or courses, which takes its inspiration from Portuguese tradition, while at the same time constantly evolving and changing from a contemporary viewpoint.We recommend you take a close look at the drinks menu which, as well as featuring superb organic wines from small-scale producers, also includes a range of craft beers, herbal liqueurs and fermented natural juices, most of which are made in-house.
