Our Story

A Tradição de Família

01

From the Heart of Ribatejo

Inspired by our grandmother's love for traditional Portuguese cuisine, Bica dos Cavalos was born from a family legacy rooted in the Ribatejo region. From our own farms in central Portugal, we bring authentic flavors and time-honored recipes passed down through generations.

Grandmother's Recipes

Every dish tells a story of family tradition, crafted with the same care and passion that our grandmother brought to her kitchen. From the freshest vegetables and golden olive oil to black pork and prime meats, each ingredient comes from our own land.

03

To the Heart of Lisbon

This legacy of traditional Ribatejo cuisine is now honored in Alfama's oldest tower, a 700-year-old structure that survived the Great Lisbon Earthquake. Here, the warmth of family hospitality meets the historic charm of Lisbon, creating a unique dining experience.
