Step into Palácio Chiado, a grand 18th-century palace turned vibrant hub of gastronomy, art, and music. Once a playground for aristocrats and bon vivants—where the phrases farrobodó and à grande e à francesa were born—this historic gem has been reimagined to honor its past while embracing the city’s contemporary energy.

Reopened in 2016, Palácio Chiado brings together chefs, mixologists, DJs, and creatives to craft a unique experience in a space steeped in history. On the first floor, under frescoed ceilings and stained glass, the restaurant’s ballroom hosts both culinary and musical delights.

Chef Manuel Bóia leads the kitchen with bold, seasonal dishes that reinvent Portuguese classics with a modern twist. This autumn, his comforting menu draws from the palace's essence—blending tradition and innovation.

Whether for an elegant dinner or cocktails at Salla, Palácio Chiado is a must-visit for anyone looking to savor Lisbon’s past and present in perfect harmony.

Insider Tip: Visit Palácio Chiado during the late afternoon to enjoy a leisurely cocktail at Salla before dinner.
