Find a restaurant from the Michelin Guide

There are some restaurants that exude positive energy – and this is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of them. The two monkeys after which it is named (and which are also depicted on the logo) refer, somewhat surprisingly, to the two chefs at the helm (Vítor Matos and Francisco Quintas) and their approach to their work – at the same time as offering a high-quality culinary experience, they are also keen to entertain and have fun!
This unique space, occupying the former wine cellar at the luxury Torel Palace Lisboa hotel, recreates, in stunning wood, the concept of a theatrical dining experience for just 12 guests built around a central island that provides the setting for the open kitchen. On the single, creatively focused menu, which includes some French-inspired details, guests can explore flavours from around Portugal (we particularly enjoyed the onion chawanmushi and the violet shrimp). The chefs interact constantly with their guests, who are not restricted to a fixed time schedule, enabling them to manage their own experience in more relaxed fashion.
