BH Foz
Tiago's pick for lunch in Foz. BH Foz sits on Avenida do Brasil, by the sea, in a 1945 Modernist building by the architect Amoroso Lopes — once a service station, bar and ballroom, restored after thirty years empty. The kitchen is Mediterranean, with a children's menu; Tiago orders the sushi or the entrecôte on porcini and truffle risotto.

Tiago's lunch in Foz. He calls it a great lunch spot, and what he loves there is the sushi, or the entrecôte on its porcini and truffle risotto.
The building
BH Foz was built in 1945 by the architect Amoroso Lopes, in the Modernist style, and in its first life it was a service station, a bar, a restaurant and a ballroom all at once. It then stood abandoned for thirty years before being restored for dining and events, while keeping its identity. It is right on the seafront, on Avenida do Brasil.
The menu
Mediterranean, with sushi. From the sea there is roast bacalhau with sautéed greens and crushed potatoes, grilled sea bass on a lemon risotto, and octopus done à lagareiro; there are risottos and pastas, pizzas, and steaks.
There is a children's menu at 13 € — a burger, bolognese, an omelette or a small margherita — and its listing adds high chairs and a changing table.

“Great lunch spot. Love the sushi or the entrecote risotto.”
The recommendation on this page is his, first-hand, as a resident rather than a visitor — which is the only basis on which this site recommends anywhere at all. What he vouches for is that this is a great place for lunch, and his dishes: the sushi, or the entrecôte risotto. Everything else on this page — hours, prices, what the place says about itself — is sourced separately and marked.
