Welcome!
Enter. Like getting lost in a Tokyo alley at nightfall – where steam rises from kitchens, neon lights glow and voices are heard through ajar doors.
There’s no rush here. There’s a counter that welcomes you as if it were your home – informal, vibrant, chaotic and warm. Izakaya is an authentic Japanese tavern planted in the center of Cascais. A journey without a ticket, where every dish is an explosion of flavor and every glass, a toast to sharing.
Distinguished by the MICHELIN Guide in 2025 and voted Restaurant of the Year in Cascais by Mesa Marcada, this is a space awarded by those who know and celebrated by those who live.

The magic of the counter
At Izakaya, everything revolves around the counter.
Here you have a privileged place for a spectacle of precision, rhythm and delivery. Chefs cutting, grilling, frying and assembling dishes that are born before your eyes.
Sit at the counter and live a unique and immersive experience – no filters, no distance, no formalities. Just you and the energy of the house.
[Menyū]
Flavors with Attitude
There are no half measures at Izakaya.
Intense flavors, authentic recipes and combinations that don’t ask for permission are served here. You can start with a toro yokke chirashi, move on to the kastusando, try various yakitoris – from heart to skin – or take a chance on the karaage that has become an addiction for many.
The choices are many. So is the desire to repeat.
[Ongaku ga ikiteiru]
music to your ears
The music at Izakaya isn’t background – it’s part of the soul of the place. DJ Kwan sets the vibe with curated music that crosses Tokyo and Lisbon – R&B, Funky, Hip-Hop and more.

See you today?
Evenings that turn into long nights.
Loose conversations, plates on the bar and glasses full. At IZAKAYA you eat well, drink better and come back again and again.
No formalities, no rush.

Merchadising
You can take some Izakaya with you.
We have exclusive t-shirts and caps, with our own design, created for those who live in this house. Limited productions, with an identity – like everything we do. Available at the counter, between a glass of saké and a yakitori.
Ask the team. The rest is up to you.

Vouchers
Offer more than a meal. Offer a trip.
The Izakaya voucher is a direct ticket to the streets of Tokyo – where you enter without ceremony, sit at the counter and let yourself be carried away. Good food, good music and a selection of drinks that demands time and company. It’s the ideal gift for those who like to share flavors, discoveries and unhurried evenings. Irreverent, relaxed and urban. Just like the alleys that inspired it.
