The space

A bright and airy space, that breath`s Portugal in every sense. A perfect example of a practical, thoughtful and unique decor.

A tribute to the old Lisbon tavern, with wall`s covered by metric wood shelves, colored by cans of tinned fish of all kinds: sardines, mackerel, codfish, tuna octopus. Also, numerous olive oil and wine bottles, not forgetting old Portuguese cans, records, bottles and other objects of all kinds.

Here, Portuguese culture and modern design are conjoined into a fabulous matrimony. The ambiance is well contrasted between the natural woods, chic off-white walls, and, of course, cold steel. The space is bright and airy, removing all possible forms of stuffiness, with the furnishings that mold in synchronization with the room. Nothing underneath this locale is fluff: it’s the perfect example of a practical, thoughtful and unique decor.

Only a glass separates us from the kitchen, allowing us to enjoy the hustle bustle of what is happening over there. A kitchen where Portuguese tinned food and fresh produce are every day combine in a new concept of Mediterranean cuisine.

Can’s define the place specially by the form of a huge silver chandelier, made of three thousand empty cans, signed by Portuguese designer Victor Moura Vicente, that acts as a revelation of what this contemporary place is all about and a tribute to the national canning industry.

CAN THE CAN offer a feast for the senses; relying it`s positioning in a simple concept of modernity, which combines the most typical Portuguese traditions.

Everything is handled differently than we expect. The kitchen will surprise you with a wonderful combination of colors and flavors. If you imagine you are only going to snack tinned fish, prepare yourself.
