Chef Vítor Matos

2Monkeys represents a revolutionary approach to fine dining in Lisbon, offering an intimate theatrical experience that redefines the boundaries between kitchen and dining room. Located within the elegant Torel Palace Lisbon, this Michelin-starred establishment accommodates just 12 guests who dine around a central island that serves as both stage and kitchen.

The brainchild of Chef Vítor Matos, 2Monkeys is his first project in Lisbon and embodies a unique concept of "fun fine-dining." Working alongside Chef Guilherme Splak, Matos creates an interactive culinary journey where every dish is prepared entirely in front of guests, transforming the traditional dining experience into an immersive gastronomic theater.

The restaurant's philosophy centers on showcasing exceptional fresh ingredients through contemporary Portuguese and European cuisine. Each course of their tasting menu is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing creativity and technical excellence while maintaining an atmosphere of warmth and accessibility that sets it apart from traditional fine dining establishments.

Awarded one Michelin star in 2026, 2Monkeys has quickly established itself as one of Lisbon's most exclusive dining destinations. The intimate setting, combined with the chefs' theatrical presentation and innovative approach to haute cuisine, creates an unforgettable experience that celebrates both friendship and culinary artistry.
