Time Out Market Lisboa

Cozinha da Felicidade

cozinha da felicidade

Snacks and mains from chef Susana Felicidade that take their lead from old Portuguese recipes.

Aside from the obvious association between food and happiness, this restaurant whose name literally means ‘Kitchen of Happiness’ is actually named after the chef that runs it: Susana Felicidade. A lawyer by training, she began serving food by the Praia da Arrifana, down in the Algarve, but to the great good fortune of Lisbon residents she ended up in the capital, opening a series of highly successful petisqueiras (informal eateries). She now divides her time between Pharmácia, up in the Bairro Alto, and this colourful corner in the Mercado da Ribeira, where you can sample various culinary inventions with very Portuguese flavours presented in simple and informal style.

Time Out Dixit “In the words of the chef herself, this project at the Mercado is a personal ‘Best Of’, with just a few adaptations. It’s as if a singer were to re-release an album with a few tracks remixed. But with the remixes turning out better than the original.”
