Meet the Chef

At the helm of Lumi Rooftop and our sister restaurant, Blue Bistrot, Chef João Silva brings a thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach that celebrates the best of portuguese cuisine with a modern sensibility. With us for 7 years, João’s passion for flavour and simplicity shines through every dish, from refined creations to the most comforting petiscos.

Perched above the city, Lumi Rooftop pairs João’s contemporary cooking with one of Lisbon’s most captivating settings: open views stretching across the skyline and towards the Tagus River. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elevated, with indoor-outdoor spaces that transition effortlessly from sunny lunches to golden-hour dinners and candlelit evenings.

Guided by an early appreciation for fresh, seasonal produce and sustainable cuisine, João’s culinary journey has taken him through some of Portugal’s most celebrated kitchens. His respect for local ingredients and his inventive spirit have shaped a style that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in portuguese tradition.

At Lumi Rooftop, he crafts seasonal driven menus, highlighting each ingredient and delivering a dining experience that feels vibrant, welcoming, and unmistakably portuguese.
