Welcome!
Like someone lost in a Tokyo alleyway at nightfall, where steam rises from kitchens, neon lights shine, and voices echo through half-open doors. Here, there is no rush. There is a counter that welcomes you as if you were at home—informal, vibrant, chaotic, and warm.
Izakaya is an authentic Japanese tavern that now has two locations: in Cascais, where it all began, and in Lisbon, in Príncipe Real, where the spirit continues to grow. A journey without a ticket, where each dish is an explosion of flavor and each glass a toast to sharing.
Distinguished by the MICHELIN Guide 2025 and voted Restaurant of the Year in Cascais by Mesa Marcada, Izakaya is a space awarded by those in the know and celebrated by those who live there.

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.

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.

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.
