Italian chef Francesco Paulon in Lisboa
It’ s with great pleasure that we welcome Italian chef Francesco Paulon for a night of conviviality on our Travessa do Monte.
The chef builds a voyage of flavors based on the fusion of land and sea by presenting combinations such as lentils, clams, and blueberries or tongue, shrimp and beets. Francesco’s food can be described as influenced by the different cities where he worked, from Belluno (Dolomiti) to Lucca in Tuscania through Venice. His kitchen is experimental, audacious but incredibly balanced.
We are waiting for you!

Sign this petition so that Venice does not become the world’s biggest museum, with fixed opening and closing times, where people no longer have the right and freedom to live. This trend does not only affect Venice, but all Italian historic centres.
The court of Venice has issued a decree obliging Vino Vero, a natural wine bar with over 1,000 labels, to close early at 11pm. The reason for this is down to a complaint from the tenants on the floor above, according to whom the ‘noise emissions’ coming from the wine bar are intolerable, to the point of compromising their psycho-physical balance.
The judge’s order reads: ‘the anthropic activities connected with the “Vino Vero” restaurant exceed the tolerable threshold of noise emissions (…) even when there are only two people sat at a table and when there are four people on the premises, the noise emissions exceed the threshold of normal tolerability’.
We are faced with a huge paradox: if just two people sitting at a table having a glass of wine is a problem, then the activity of any venue or restaurant operating after 11pm in Venice becomes illegal.
The message which comes across is that Venice after 11pm should close and its inhabitants should stay at home under a curfew, because then even the normal passage of boats and people becomes a disturbance.
Dear friends,
We are finally reopening today, with bated breath in the hope that this is not a parenthesis, but a reconciliation without end.
Having made a round of phone calls, we are pleased in the knowledge that the majority of our counterparts have found ways of reopening, however, the sadness lingers on for those who unfortunately have to remain closed.
New regulations require us to adapt our service somewhat, we will no longer be serving at the counter, instead, we will provide table service with a newly created series of dishes to accompany your lunches and dinners on the waterfront.
Furthermore, it will now be possible to reserve a table by calling us on +39 041 2750044.
We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!
