THE SAME AS EVER!
SERVING TRADITION FOR OVER 40 YEARS
The history of our famous steak dates back to the end of the 18th century, when the Neapolitan António Marrare -founder of the mythical Cafés Marrare -arrived in Lisbon. At the beginning of the 19th century, he created the recipe for the famous steak that quickly became famous throughout the city.
In 1982, the founders of Café São Bento set out in search of the original recipe,which they refined and perfected in the house’s early years and have never been changed to this day.
So, for over 40 years, people have been coming to Café de São Bento to eat the same steak, but not just any steak – the one – unanimously considered the Best Steak in Lisbon. Is it the cut, the quality of the meat, the preparation, the sauce? It’s all this and a few more secrets that we have kept well since 1982.
STREET OF SÃO BENTO
By evoking the historical Cafés of Lisbon, the restaurant on Rua de São Bento is a mythical space in the city, which endures in time.
As soon as the bell sounds, just embark on a journey throughout time, enjoy the classic and intimate atmosphere which invites you to have long conversations over lunch or dinner at late hours. It provides the famous Steak its name; á São Bento.
CASCAIS
For 43 years making history in Rua de São Bento, the legendary steaks of Café de São Bento have now arrived in Cascais. With the opening of a new space in the town’s historic centre, located at 71 Rua Alexandre Herculano, it will be possible to maintain the old tradition while telling a new story.
Time Out Market
We took the steaks to Mercado da Ribeira, in Cais do Sodré.
Just like the recipe at the mother house, in a relaxed space open throughout the day.
