It’s been 34 years since Via Graça first opened its doors. Since then, the restaurant has welcomed several chefs, gone through different styles, and even hosted the fine dining concept 9B. Yet, one thing remains unchanged: its breathtaking view over Lisbon. From the large windows, guests can admire the city’s rooftops, the bridge, the Tagus River, and the Christ the King statue.
At lunchtime, the sun bathes everything in light; by dinner, it’s Lisbon’s city lights that set the scene. Either way, the view is a constant invitation to return—just like the menu.
With Lisbon at its feet, this traditional restaurant remains very much alive after 30 years of service—undoubtedly for the best reasons. The same reasons that have earned the loyalty of so many customers and made this a place worth revisiting for the next 30 years.
