I’ve been to plenty of bars with art on the walls, loads with exposed industrial fittings, even one full of taxidermied cats. But never one with a vast collection of tinned fish as the mainstay of its aesthetic. And certainly not one that manages to do this and still somehow be as effortlessly, thoughtlessly cool as Sol e Pesca.
But then I was in Lisbon – a glorious pre-pandemic Lisbon. And Lisbon, as everyone knows, is the coolest city in the world – perhaps now dented by its latest (recently ended) lockdown, but never defeated.
