Vibe by Chef Mattia Stanchieri, Lisbon – Globally Inspired, Locally Sourced Fine Dining

In the heart of Lisbon’s trendy Chiado district, Vibe by Chef Mattia Stanchieri is a must-visit for culinary adventurers. This new hotspot offers a dining experience that’s both global in inspiration and deeply rooted in Portugal’s rich, local produce. Chef Stanchieri, known for his impressive journey through Michelin-starred kitchens, invites diners on a journey that reflects his international experiences and personal roots.

At Vibe, every season introduces a menu inspired by a different world cuisine, allowing guests to explore the tastes of distant lands while celebrating Portugal’s local bounty. At this writing, the menu titled “From Milan to Turin” showcases Chef Stanchieri’s roots in Italy.

Chef Stanchieri’s culinary journey began in his hometown of Monza, Italy, where he discovered his passion for cooking at the young age of 15. Fascinated by the endless possibilities of combining flavors and techniques, he quickly made a name for himself in some of Italy’s most renowned Michelin-starred restaurants, including Osteria del Pomiroeu and the prestigious three-star Da Vittorio.

His journey took a significant step forward when he became Head Chef at Osteria La Lira, where he spent five years creating iconic menus rooted in traditional Italian cuisine. Wanting more experience, Chef Stanchieri joined the team at Copenhagen’s Geranium, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant that later achieved the title of No. 1 in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. This experience further enriched his skills and deepened his commitment to culinary excellence. Moving to Lisbon, he worked with loca celebrity chef José Avillez at two-Michelin star Belcanto. Today, at Vibe, Stanchieri sets out on his first solo venture, where he invites diners to join him on a unique culinary exploration.

This impressive background is evident in notable dishes like “Pumpkin Gnocchi” with pickled pumpkin, São Jorge cheese, sage,”El Risott De Milan,” a saffron-infused risotto with veal ossobuco in gremolata (at top), and the “Costoletta alla Milanese,” a breaded veal loin from the Azores served with a unique combination of burnt lemon gel, potato mille-feuille, and peverada sauce. Each course is a harmonious blend of Italian tradition and Portuguese terroir.

To round off the experience, Vibe offers a carefully curated selection of cocktails, reimagined by Quattro Teste bar, and a wine list that complements the meal. Whether you’re a local or a visitor to Lisbon, dining at Vibe promises a flavorful adventure that pays homage to global flavors with a distinctly Portuguese twist.
