🇵🇹 Lisbon | Cura - A One-Star Experience

Cura, the Michelin-starred restaurant nestled in Four Seasons Hotel Lisbon, has held its star since 2020/21—neither upgraded nor downgraded. Coincidence? Maybe. But let’s talk about the food! 🍞 Bread Service: The Real Star • Sourdough: Perfectly chewy yet soft inside, paired with insanely good local olive oil (woody, complex finish). • Brioche: Life-changingly buttery and fluffy—claimed to have cinnamon, but all I tasted was pure happiness. Honestly, this alone justifies their star. 🌟 🍽️ The Meal • 5-course menu (10-course also available, +€30). • Welcome snack: Buckwheat crisps with buckwheat "wine"—nutty, comforting, sets the tone. • Other dishes: Solid but not mind-blowing. • Finale: Dessert tea was serenely perfect, reminiscent of a Kyoto tea house. 🍵 💁 Service: Attentive, passionate, no forced service charge (rare for Michelin spots!). 🍷 Wine Pairing: Recommended—Portugal’s vineyards deserve attention! 💰 Damage: €200-400/person (depends on wine). #Lisbon #MichelinLisbon #CuraRestaurant #FineDining #FoodieReview #WineLovers
