Rocco Restaurant was honoured at the 2026 Restaurant Awards organised by the US magazine Wine Spectator with the Best of Award of Excellence (🍷🍷), one of the most prestigious international accolades awarded to wine lists.

‍

This award recognises restaurants whose wine selection stands out for its quality, depth and diversity, positioning Rocco as a leading destination for discerning wine connoisseurs.

‍

The restaurant’s wine list, developed and led by Head Sommelier David Rosa, reflects consistent curation and excellence, based on a broad representation of regions, producers and styles. This recognition extends to the entire wine team, whose knowledge and dedication ensure a distinctive, high-calibre wine experience.

‍

Established in 1981, Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards annually honour restaurants worldwide with outstanding wine lists and are widely recognised as one of the sector’s most prestigious awards.

‍

This accolade further cements Rocco’s position as a leading name on Lisbon’s gastronomic scene, combining a contemporary dining experience with an outstanding wine selection. It follows the dual international recognition achieved earlier this year by the Star Wine List — with the GOLD award in the “Wine by the Glass” category and SILVER in “Best Medium Size Wine List” — and thus consolidating Rocco’s track record of excellence and its status as an unmissable benchmark on the international wine scene, highlighting its distinctive positioning and the growing prominence it has been achieving.
