HISTORY

Chiado is the place

Set within one of the most up-market and iconic areas in Lisbon - Largo do Teatro S. Carlos, Chiado - it is located within a building of the Lisbon Patriarchy, given that the main wing of the restaurant is part of the old cloisters of the Convento da Igreja dos Mártires.

Chiado is one of the most iconic and historic quarters of the city of Lisbon. Chiado became the centre of Portuguese Romanticism and the meeting point for intellectuals and artists when the literary club was created in 1856, a cultural landmark within the city.
Today, Chiado is one of the busiest and most cosmopolitan areas in the capital and is a compulsory stop.
