The best sushi in Portugal, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and Eater have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. MITSU comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Lisbon and Porto.
More Less
Omakase Ri and Omakase Wa hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 1. MITSU
Omakase Japanese
Fourteen seats total, ten of them at the counter facing the kitchen, is the whole footprint of this omakase spot near Parque Eduardo VII. The chef builds the menu around fish from Setúbal, Nazareth, and the Azores, so the selection shifts with what those waters are doing. It's intimate in the way that means you will absolutely hear your neighbor's conversation, and they'll hear yours.

Rank 1. Omakase Ri
Omakase Japanese
Ten seats, no menu handed to you, and the chef narrating the provenance of each fish before it reaches the counter. Omakase Ri is an intimate omakase spot drawing on the loose, unhurried feel of Tokyo dive bars, which is a more appealing combination than it sounds. The Japanese-Brazilian chef runs through fifteen courses, with a sake list substantial enough to demand its own attention.

Rank 1. Omakase Wa
Sushi
A ten-seat counter hidden behind an unmarked door in Lisbon, where the omakase format means everyone sits down together and nobody eats until the last person arrives, so respect the booking time. The wood-clad room is quiet and unhurried, the fish sometimes flown in from Japan, and the Edomae technique shapes small, careful bites that shift with whatever the season is actually offering that week.
