Solar dos Presuntos is a place one must visit in Lisbon. It is located in the typical street of the Portões de Santo Antão. This restaurant is known by both Portuguese and foreigners. It serves traditional Portuguese food, and it’s a place for gatherings one surely has to visit.
Although the food served is traditionally minhota (Minho is a northern region in Portugal, furthest up north on the left quadrant) this restaurant founded in October 1974 has a lot of space to receive the nectars from all Portuguese regions. There’s a great demand in product choice. Wines from Adega de Borba could not of course be left aside, as they combine quality and “gastronomical style” at the same time.
Meals are a symbol of gathering among friends and family; a kitchen is to be considered a type of heritage like any other, maybe more some of the times. This is precisely what Solar dos Presuntos serves: culture. “We take full responsibility to continue with our work which – as we see it – is also a cultural service and a link to a good foundation in terms of friendships.”
Many people have enjoyed the gastronomical delights of the Cardoso’s family. Everyone is welcome and will be treated with warmth and care by all team members at the Solar dos Presuntos. Their motto: “Eating well and good food are in the affection category. And affection means that we need to be kind, pleasant and warm. This why the people feel at home when they come here.”
It is in the “intimacy” of aromas and flavours that the wines from Adega de Borba stand out, wines that share a common memory with typical food.
