Affordable MICHELIN Guide dining in Lisbon

Downunder is selected by the MICHELIN Guide in 2024, 2025 and 2026. That is a Guide selection, not a MICHELIN star. For guests comparing recognised Lisbon restaurants by price, the useful starting point is the current menu rather than the label alone.

Selection and stars are different distinctions

The MICHELIN Guide includes several kinds of recognition. A restaurant can be listed as a Guide selection without holding a MICHELIN star. Downunder is in that selected category: it is not a starred restaurant, and the selection is a restaurant distinction rather than a title for its chef.

This distinction matters when searching for an affordable MICHELIN restaurant in Lisbon. Some searches use “Michelin restaurant” to mean any restaurant in the Guide, while others mean starred restaurants specifically. Check the restaurant's exact distinction before comparing experiences or prices.

Current Downunder tasting-menu prices

5-course tasting menu: €70 per person, approximately 2 hours.
7-course tasting menu: €85 per person, approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
Wine pairing: an additional €45 with the 5-course menu or €55 with the 7-course menu.

See the current menu and wine information before booking.

What the price includes

The published price covers the chosen tasting menu. Wine pairing is optional and priced separately. The 5-course and 7-course formats let guests choose between a shorter and a longer experience without relying on unsupported citywide price comparisons.

Downunder serves Australian and Asian fusion tasting menus in Santos/Estrela, near LX Factory but not inside it. Dinner is served Monday to Saturday from 19:00 to 23:00. Lunch is Saturday only, from 12:00 to 14:30, and the restaurant is closed on Sunday.

How to compare value responsibly

Confirm whether the restaurant is selected, Bib Gourmand or starred.
Compare the number of courses and whether drinks are included.
Check the restaurant's own current menu rather than an undated list.
Use the booking provider for live availability; this page does not claim that a particular date or time is open.
