About
Omakase Ri is among Lisbon's most carefully sourced Japanese dining experiences. Chef William Vargas, a Japanese-Brazilian sushi chef, is supported by sake sommelier Gabriela Hatano, also of Japanese-Brazilian heritage, creating a team with deep cultural and technical ties to Japanese culinary tradition. Michelin recommended the restaurant in 2025. The 10-seat counter serves evening-only sittings with a minimum 24-hour advance booking requirement — a policy that reflects the precision of the operation. Koshihikari rice imported from Toyama prefecture and fish sourced directly from Hokkaido set the sourcing standard.
Neighborhood & visiting
Omakase Ri sits in Lapa, one of Lisbon's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended.
