Notes
As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere transitions into a livelier, more glamorous tone, with the restaurant evolving into a stylish bar and lounge. It’s the perfect spot to linger over an exquisite meal, sip a signature cocktail with a view, and soak up the vibrant riverside energy well into the night.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and refined interiors accented with sparks of blue velour set the stage for a menu that balances innovation with respect for local ingredients, think sushi and sashimi alongside contemporary interpretations of classics like Bacalhau à Lagareiro, Grilled Squid, or Lobster Rice. Sustainability is at the forefront of Fysh Belém’s ethos, with responsibly sourced fish and a commitment to working closely with local, seasonal suppliers. Each dish is executed with precision and respect for the ingredients, elevating classic preparations into something distinctly new and memorable.
As the house itself puts it, “Mudam-se as marés… mas há rituais que não se mexem: escolher o peixe, brindar e deixar o mundo lá fora.” Here, the ritual is timeless: choose your fish from the counter, enjoy and toast with friends while the world beyond these windows fades away.
At Fysh Belém, the experience is more than a meal; it’s an invitation to pause and savor the best of Portugal’s seafood traditions with a contemporary, cosmopolitan flair.
