Portuguese in content, Iberian in form. O Canalha brings back to Lisbon the essence of a neighborhood restaurant with the signature of chef João Rodrigues.
Canalha
Canalha opened in 2023 as a neighborhood restaurant and quickly became a Lisbon institution. With a kitchen led by chef João Rodrigues and resident chef Lívia Orofino, Canalha has brought an irreverent but comfortable space to Lisbon, without concepts or revivalism. The space excels in the relationship between the visible kitchen, the counter and the living room. Every day, the fresh products in the display case are written on the slate. The cuisine is emotionally Portuguese, but openly Iberian, while favoring national products. The success of the first few months of Canalha, located next to Maat, led to a summer partnership with Sublime Comporta, adding an extra address to the project during the summer months.
