Rotas das Sedas - Restaurant suggestion

Dear Guests,

There is a new secret place next to TheHOUSE: Rota das Sedas.

This place (which includes a wonderful terrace) is an old silk factory that operated until the mid-19th century. That past and the Silk Road inspired the name but the cuisine is completely Portuguese without any Asian influences. It's served in a buffet at lunchtime but there's also à la carte service offering a variety of dishes with a curious mixture of ingredients (but it remains open in the afternoon for lighter meals). You just need to cross the park in front of the Basílica, walk down the Avenida Álvares Cabral and once in Rato square turn to the second street on the right side – R. da Escola Politécnica, n 231. And that’s it.
