🤢 2/5 - I was not inspired by anything on the menu.

The atmosphere was sublime. As for our order, we ordered a bottle of JA Jose Avillez signature white wine. Chef Avillez charges €16.50 for his signature, I know for a fact that the wine is over priced, okay, it's not bad, but I've had much better for €3.00. Okay, so the wine I get is less than €3.00, it's not served in a restaurant, so I guess I'll let the €16.50 purchase for his name on the bottle slide. Actually that is the theme of my entire review. I've had better for less money. On the order, bread service, tasty, but it's €5.00 or €2.50 per person. We had a margherita pizza, very bland, very thin, but not cooked so much that it turned into a cracker which also surprisingly included 3 fresh basil leaves. I order a bowl of Pho... now although the bowl was small and it wasn't as much as I'm used to getting when ordering Pho, it was really tasty. I'm sure however, that as tasty it was, it wasn't worth €10.50. We ordered ceviche, and it was at most 75grams of fish for €11.50, and it was served with sweet potato. The sweet potato took up most of the area of the plate, so I'm at odds with the dish being called ceviche. It should have been called a small sweet potato with ceviche garnish. I'm not sure how sweet potato fits the realm of ceviche, but I suspect it has everything to do with the arrogance of the Chef Avillez menu. To end dinner we ordered 2 pregos. These were served on Azores style bread which mimics a soft English muffin. Although the meat was tasty, but a bit under cooked to our order, Azores style bread doesn't stand up well enough for the sandwich. Azores style bread is best served toasted with warm butter and fig jam, not as the base for Prego do Lombo. A hearty ciabatta would have been a better choice. It was served with a small bowl of fries which had several toppings. I'm not sure what was what on the toppings. The fries were cooked perfectly. Again, Chef Avillez must be very proud of these sandwiches at €12.00 each. The meat was smaller than the size of a playing card. So, final thoughts. Bairro Avillez is a tasting restaurant, where you go when you want to say you ate at a restaurant associated with a Michelin Chef. You don't go there if you are hungry and need a meal. Again, there was nothing wrong with the food, the presentation, or the atmosphere, it wasn't about the food, it was about paying for arrogance. The staff was overly attentive. I despise wait staff that insist on pouring my bottle of wine or water into my glass when said bottles are resting on the table within easy reach. Just serve the food, and be available by sight on occasion. Okay, so the kicker is that we had contemplated on having dessert, but decided to skip dessert and go around the corner for ice cream at Chiado Terrasse but despite waiting outside the door to the place for 5 minutes no one appeared to seat us, so we left.
