The fire as the essence of our kitchen
At 550°, fire is at the heart of everything. We’re a gastronomic restaurant in the centre of Lisbon,where the flame of the wood-fired oven inspires every dish, every aroma, every moment. On fish and meat, it enhances the juices and brings out that unmistakable smoky flavour. In oven-baked rice, it creates the golden crust. In pizza, it adds crispness on the outside, lightness on the inside and that smoky edge – because the dough isn’t just a base, it’s part of the flavour.
Cooking with fire means cooking with time
It's knowing when to stop, when to let it brown. It's giving each dish a touch that only flame can deliver.
More than a meal, we offer a sensory experience guided by flavour,smoke and creativity of our kitchen.


About
550°



550° of flavour
At 550 degrees, something magical happens - or rather, something scientific. This is the ideal temperature a wood-fired oven can reach, and it's precisely when the famous Maillard reaction is triggered:a chemical process that transforms ingredients into explosions of flavour.
Meat, fish, vegetables and pizzas are seared quickly, preserving their juiciness and intensifying their taste.
At 550°, fire is a science - and every dish proves it.


fire
'Slow fire cooks best.'
This is the principle behind our 550° – the temperature where the magic of the Maillard reaction happens. We prepare meats, fish, oven-baked rice and pizzas in perfect balance between tradition and technique.
smoke
'Where there's smoke, there's fire.'
We treat smoke as an essential ingredient – the invisible element that enhances and deepens every sensation. It’s present in both dishes and cocktails, adding depth, intensity, and surprise. In our kitchen, we craft unique aromatic profiles, unforgettable with every bite. And at the bar, the concept continues: creative cocktails that defy expectations.
flavour
'Slow cooking brings out the flavour
At 550º, flavour is the thread that ties the whole experience together. Each dish is designed to excite the palate, using fresh ingredients, bold combinations and precise techniques that respect time, fire, and the essence of each product.
