One of Lisbon's best known and most iconic restaurants reopened a few days ago, after a refurbishment process. The renovated Solar dos Presuntos presents itself larger, more modern and with a kitchen signed by FN hotelaria, which “is one of the best kitchens in Europe”, said Pedro Cardoso in an interview with Expresso.

The space for customers gained a greater dimension (450 seats), specially due to the new terrace created on the top floor, with capacity for up to 250 customers. This area was decorated with a mural by the portuguese artist Vhils, which honors the founders of this restaurant: Evaristo Cardoso and Maria da Graça.
Also noteworthy on the second floor is the Solar dos Presuntos Academy, which, with state-of-the-art equipment, will be a training center for new culinary talents. It includes “Mesa do Chef” (Chef's table) and will also host special events.
Solar dos Presuntos also has a wine cellar with more than 1000 national and international references and an accommodation area with 4 rooms that will serve to accommodate the Academy's guests, chefs and sommeliers.
The kitchen area is 10 times larger, with 400 m2, spread over several 'stations'.
The gastronomic offer so appreciated by the customers of this restaurant should not undergo major changes and continues to be led by chef José Silva, now accompanied by Hugo Araújo. One of the novelties will be the grilled specialties that will come from a Josper oven with a high level of performance, supplied and installed by FN hotelaria.
Solar dos Presuntos, our long-time client, once again trusted FN hotelaria to develop the project, supply and install the hotel equipment for the kitchen areas (preparation, production, pastry and pantry), storage area, cold rooms and refrigerated areas, bars and wine cellar, as well as the necessary equipment for the Academy and the dining room.
In the image gallery above you can take a look at the ‘behind the scenes’, from the idea to its realization, of the journey (before, during and after) of the Solar dos Presuntos kitchen star, the Marrone cooking block, designed by FN hotelaria, fully customized to the needs of the restaurant and manufactured in Italy by Marrone Custom Cooking.
It is an immense privilege for us to have Solar dos Presuntos in our client portfolio, but above all to make sure this client’s satisfaction has been fully achieved.
