KANJIRU
Like walking through a private gallery, every visit to our Kanjiru restaurant, inspired by the art of omakase, is an experience carefully orchestrated by Chef Vitor Matos, the renowned chef with the most MICHELIN Stars in Portugal, and Chef João Rocha. The menu is entrusted entirely to his vision, with each course composed as if it were a work of art: balancing color, texture, flavor, and presentation in perfect harmony.
Seating is limited, ensuring intimacy and attention to detail at every table. The progression of the meal is deliberate: each plate builds on the last, creating a story that engages the senses and invites reflection. Ingredients are selected daily for freshness and quality, with a focus on seasonality and provenance, transforming simple elements into sophisticated, unexpected combinations.
Our Menu
Feel before you understand.
Here, dining transcends the ordinary. At Kanjiru, every meal is a sensory journey guided by the chefs’ intuition and creativity, where each dish arrives at precisely the right moment, revealing a new interpretation of its ingredients. The intimate, immersive setting brings guests closer to the art of preparation, creating a direct connection between those who craft each dish and those who sit at the counter.
Inspired by the philosophy of omakase, Kanjiru invites you to surrender to the unexpected. Every gesture, ingredient and combination is part of an ever-evolving experience, where tradition and creativity meet to awaken the senses and create moments that linger.
