LUNCH & DINNER VENUES
KAIS - K Restaurant Kais is housed in a late XIX century old warehouse, by the riverside, which was used to generate energy for Portuguese trams that still work in our days. The warehouse was fully recovered and is now one of the most beautiful restaurants you will ever see. The actual design and decoration was conceived with much honor, by a very famous Portuguese Interior Decorator, Maria José Salavisa, who respected the industrial roots of the warehouse. Maria José Salavisa believed that the industrial époque style was a winner. Reflected in the building, is the theory of the Arquitect Otto Wagner, who said that; “the actual structure and materials used to construct the building should be visible”, for this reason, the elements of the structure and of the old factory where left to be seen.
ESTUFA REAL This restaurant, in what was once the royal green house in the Ajuda Botanical Garden, is only 5 minutes up the hill from the Jerónimos Monastery. Lunching or dining in this delightful setting can be enjoyed in the 18th century greenhouse from which the restaurant takes its name (Estufa = greenhouse or conservatory. Real = Royal) with stunning views over the River Tagus. The Jardim Botânico da Ajuda, covering more than 3 hectares of garden, is like a sanctuary from the city.
