Fábulas Lisbon: restaurant, café, unique gallery & Joanna Latka’s wonderful art
Fábulas , located in Chiado Lisbon, is a combination of a restaurant, (cyber) café, wine bar and a unique gallery. There is an exhibition every other month. The month when there is no exhibition, there are various activities such as concerts or cinema cycles.
March 2010. Fábulas is showing the latest wonderful works by a Polish artist, Joanna Latka (r), currently living in Portugal, actively integrated in the Lisbon art scene with a Masters in Fine Art.
The stone arches give this space a unique characteristic. Antique furniture where some tables are old sewing machines.
Our choice: Cuzcus Prince (€ 7), soup (€ 2,60), glass of wine (€ 2,40). The atmosphere is very relaxed, it’s also a great place for lunch or just lounging.
The menu honors the fables (Fábulas means fables in Portuguese), like Cinderela, a delicious warm pumpkin salad, spinach and chevre foam…or Figaro, (chickpea, pumpkin, eggplant, cherry tomato and goat cheese….)
The exhibitions are organized by Galeria das Salgadeiras
