In 2026, Kappo was awarded a Michelin Star, becoming one of the most exciting Japanese restaurants in Portugal and a major addition to the fine dining scene in Cascais.

I confess I had to Google: “What is Japanese Kappo cuisine? “
Michelin Guide showed me the answer:

“Kappo simply means ‘to cut and to cook’,  a less formal cuisine that emphasizes the proximity between the diner and the chef who is cutting and cooking the food!”
“ Kappo is a multi-course meal that is left entirely up to the chef. “

Obviously, this place is Great but it ain’t cheap!
Coco Chanel, once said: “The best things in life are free. The second best things are very expensive.”  BUT, don’t be afraid 😬, in Portugal nothing is too expensive,

The Michelin Guide recognized Kappo for its precision, product quality and intimate Japanese dining experience. The restaurant focuses on a refined approach to Japanese cuisine, with exceptional ingredients and meticulous technique.

JOKE : Why did the sushi chef go broke?
Because he had too many “raw” expenses! 😂
