SERVING EXCELLENCE
The São Bento Group was born in 2022, when Miguel Garcia acquired the famous Café de São Bento restaurant opposite the Assembly of the Republic and expanded it to the Time Out Market in Cais do Sodré. Since its foundation in 1982, Café de São Bento has been a unique place in Lisbon, known for serving the best steak in town.
In 2023, the renowned Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar opened, located in a historic family home in the heart of Cascais. The menu features Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with classic Portuguese, French and Italian influences.
In 2024, the group opened Corleone Ristorante al Mare, in Casa da Villa, where the true classics of Italian cuisine are served overlooking the Bay of Cascais – an unmissable destination for lovers of real Italian cuisine and the freshest produce from Italy and Portugal.
Even at the end of 2024, it was time to reopen the mythical Snob Bar, a place frequented by politicians, journalists, intellectuals and artists, where gatherings intersect with the iconic Snob Steak late into the night.
In 2025, the best steaks in Lisbon arrived in Cascais, with the opening of a new Café de São Bento in the town’s historic centre. Cosy and elegant, it maintains the tradition and simplicity that made the original unmissable.
In the spring of 2025, the new Bougain Avenida secret garden will open on Avenida da Liberdade. The Mediterranean-inspired classic will conquer Lisbon with its atmosphere of elegant tranquillity and the impeccable signature of the São Bento Group.
Our team of more than 150 employees has dedication as the pillar of our success. We work to make every dining experience unforgettable and to ensure excellent service in all the São Bento Group’s venues.
