Blind Restaurant
Restaurant Recommended by the MICHELIN Guide, 2024
The chef refines the food, while our guests enrich the senses
Inaugurated in 2020, BLIND is a tribute to writer José Saramago’s "Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira" and an invitation to take a journey that goes beyond the palate.
In Blind, we interpret gastronomy as an experience that involves emotions, memories and all the senses.
We offer our BLIND EMOTIONS tasting menu with 10 or 12 moments, an ever-changing culinary experience full of surprises created by Chef Vitor Matos, which intrigues all by the remarkable and unforgettable staging at the time of tasting.
