Citorah says

Solar has been run by the Cardoso family from Monção since 1974 — Evaristo opened it, his son Pedro runs it now, and the ground-floor room is where the Lisbon regulars sit under the wall of signed footballs and politician headshots.

From Where to eat in Lisbon 2026 — 10 restaurants worth the metro ride, under “Solar dos Presuntos — Restauradores”.

Wrong for

Solo diners (it's a sharing room, you'll feel marooned), anyone wanting a quick bite (three hours, minimum), and under-€40-a-head budgets — reckon €70-90 per person with wine.

Good to know

Price
€70-90 per person with wine
Where
Rua das Portas de Santo Antão 150
Getting there
two minutes uphill from Restauradores metro
What to order
arroz de lavagante (lobster rice, €40 per person, two-person minimum and it genuinely feeds two)
Booking
ask for downstairs when you book, and you do need to book, ideally a week out — they'll want a card to hold it
