Sol e Pesca

It all begins with an idea.

Sol e Pesca is famous for its conservas, a high-quality, artisanal canned seafood.

Sol e Pesca is a unique spot in Lisbon’s Cais do Sodré district, known for its charm and creative approach to Portuguese cuisine. The venue is a mix of a bar and a petiscaria (Portuguese tapas spot) that specializes in serving canned fish, a staple of Portuguese culinary culture.

What makes Sol e Pesca stand out is how it elevates the simple concept of canned seafood, turning it into a delightful, gourmet experience that highlights the flavor, sustainability, and history behind Portuguese conservas. Their unusual but highly curated menu has turned Sol e Pesca into a must-visit for anyone looking to try something different in Lisbon’s food scene. The cans are beautifully packaged and served with simplicity, accompanied by bread or fresh salads.

Originally, Sol e Pesca was an old fishing equipment shop. Today, much of the fishing decor has been preserved, with the walls lined with fishing rods, nets, lures, and other memorabilia, giving the place an authentic maritime feel. The vibrant atmosphere reflects the historical importance of Lisbon's fishing culture while offering a cozy, relaxed vibe. The neon sign outside, with the word "Pesca," invites curious passersby to enter.
