Plano

Trás-os-Montes is closer than you think.

Some chefs look for inspiration in the four corners of the world. Vítor Adão found a good part of his in Trás-os-Montes, among childhood memories, the flavours of Chaves and the produce of a region where gastronomy remains a very serious matter.

In the Graça neighbourhood of Lisbon, Plano is the expression of that connection to his origins. An author cuisine where Portuguese tradition meets contemporary creativity, without losing authenticity or respect for the produce. Here, fire is the protagonist, family recipes get new interpretations and each dish tells a little of the story of the person who created it.

The setting deserves attention too. In a discreet, welcoming space, with vaulted ceilings, brick walls and a pleasant garden, Plano invites you to discover a quieter Lisbon, far from the bustle of the city. A place where time seems to slow down and gastronomy takes the leading role.

With an offering built around tasting menus that explore the roots and origins of Portuguese cooking, the restaurant features in the Michelin and Repsol guides, establishing itself as one of the most interesting tables in the capital.

At Plano, Vítor Adão proves that tradition does not need to stay stuck in the past. All it takes is new ideas, good ingredients and the freedom to surprise.
