In the basement of Torel Palace Lisbon hotel, a restaurant offering “fun haute cuisine” opened in 2023. It was named 2Monkeys and, within 10 months, it won a Michelin star.
There is no dining room in this space, but a counter surrounding the kitchen, from where 14 people (the restaurant's maximum capacity) can watch the work of chefs Vítor Matos and Guilherme Spalk.
This unique restaurant is governed by the concept of “relaxed fine dining”. Here tradition meets modernity and the menu, based on seasonal and regional products, is renewed very regularly, always being a total surprise for customers. 2Monkeys promises a surprising sensory experience, based on pure, authentic cuisine, focused on the product and unwilling to submit to styles or rules.
Another of the stars of this space is the fully customized cooking block, designed by FN hotelaria and produced in Italy by Marrone: “one of the best stoves in the world”, the chefs told NIT in an interview in 2023. This equipment brings together a wide range of capabilities: from different types of cooking, to finishing, refrigerated preservation or storage.
FN hotelaria's intervention in this restaurant also included the installation of air conditioning and ventilation in the kitchen, under the responsibility of our HVAC team.
