The room
A dining room,
not a concept.
An old print shop with the presses taken out, a wood oven put in, and eleven tables that all turn.
The story
seats, across eleven tables
at the big round table
counter seats, never booked
oven, burning oak and olive wood
Cook, co-owner
Rui Antunes
Built the oven himself, twice. Cooks the plates and writes the menu on Tuesday mornings.
Pastry and bread
Clara Mendes
Starts at five. Everything sweet is hers, and so is the flatbread dough.
The floor, co-owner
Tomás Brito
Runs the room and the wine list. Remembers what you ordered last time.
Fish
Kenji Mori
At the market by six. Decides what the plates are before anyone else is awake.
