Walking up the Duque Stairs (Escadinhas do Duque) in the Rossio neighborhood, we arrived at the Solar do Duque restaurant 🍴. The Duque Stairs were built in the 19th century and are named after the Duke of Cadaval's residence nearby 🏰. In the 18th century, the stairs were a steep road 🛤️. Due to the development of the city and the influx of people into Lisbon, in the 19th century, this steep ancient road was converted into stairs 🏗️. Now, walking down the Duque Stairs, you can reach Praça do Rossio and its bohemian neighborhood in the center of Lisbon 🚶♂️🚶♀️, and walking up, you can walk to Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara 🌇. In the early 20th century, several buildings in the Duke's Palace were acquired by a Portuguese entrepreneur named Moreira da Silva, who transformed one of the buildings into the Solar do Duque restaurant 🏠🍽️. Today, the Solar do Duque restaurant has been run by the owner and his wife for a full thirty years 🎉. They never relax their pursuit of fresh ingredients 🥦🍅🐟. Every morning, the chef and the boss lady go to the local market to select the freshest ingredients to ensure that every dish is fresh and delicious 😋. These fresh ingredients, paired with Portuguese specialty olive oil, spices, and wine 🍷, are carefully cooked to create authentic Portuguese dishes 🇵🇹. This focus and care on ingredients makes people taste not only delicious food here, but also a culinary art that allows them to experience the spirit of craftsmanship 👩🍳👨🍳.
