Sometimes a great party is one monkey away
Our Offering
A frame of mind.
MöTAO is an Asian restaurant in Belém and Vilamoura—but far more than a venue, it’s a frame of mind. Inspired by the exotic flavours of the Orient and the energy of great company, we pair fine dining with sophisticated nightlife. From sharing plates and rich textures to our signature cocktail list, every detail is crafted for unforgettable moments. Whether riverside in Belém or under the Algarve night sky, immerse yourself in the MöTAO experience.
Our Essence
-
Bold flavours. Better shared.
At MöTAO, Asian culinary traditions meet a bold, contemporary twist. Start with Wagyu Carpaccio or the tropical freshness of Padang Padang Salmon Ceviche, then explore a raw sushi bar featuring Toro & Caviar Nigiri, truffled Lírio Carpaccio and chef-curated Omakase. For something fire-kissed, go for our Peranakan Pork Ribs or gather the crew around a Tomahawk Hibachi. Add a Tangerine Moscow Mule, let the DJ set the mood and take your time. Prefer a daytime visit? MöTAO Lisbon serves an exclusive lunch experience, including executive menus on weekdays.
-
Dinner is just the beginning.
At MöTAO, dessert is your cue to stay a little longer. As the DJ takes over, the lights, music and energy shift, turning dinner into a night of signature cocktails and dancing. The restaurant becomes a late-night meeting place, where friends gather around the bar and one more song becomes another round. From Belém to Vilamoura Marina, food and nightlife share the same address. Come for the first toast, settle into the rhythm and stay for the final track—with selected nights running until 4 AM.
-
Two locations. One unmistakable vibe.
Two waterfront settings, each with its own personality. MöTAO Lisbon puts you beside the Tejo River in Belém, where wide-open windows welcome the breeze and frame views of the illuminated bridge. At MöTAO Vilamoura, the marina sets the scene: palm trees, reflections on the water and outdoor lounge swings made for sunset cocktails and warm summer nights. From a long riverside lunch to dinner under the Algarve sky, the backdrop is part of the experience. Pick your spot, bring your people and let the evening unfold.
