The Patuá restaurant, one of the pillars of Macanese cuisine in Lisbon, will close its doors in September. Ricardo Felner visited the establishment this week to see the space before its closure.
Patuá was considered the last Macanese restaurant in the Portuguese capital, representing an important culinary tradition of Macau's culture.
The restaurant's closure is due to the unaffordable rise in rents in Lisbon, a situation that has affected various commercial establishments in the city and made it impossible to continue the business.
The news of Patuá's closure represents a significant loss for Macanese gastronomy in Lisbon, leaving a void in the offering of restaurants dedicated to this traditional cuisine.
