Lisbon's Iconic 1300 Taberna Closes After 11 Years

LX Factory's iconic restaurant, 1300 Taberna, has closed its doors after 11 years. The eatery, a founding pillar of the creative hub, served its last meals on October 4 and reopened the next day to sell its furniture and equipment. The sudden closure has left loyal customers and Chef Nuno Barros, who ran the restaurant for 14 years, surprised and regretful.

The decision to not renew the restaurant's contract came from the management and shareholders of LX Factory. Despite the shock, Chef Barros has no immediate plans to open another restaurant with the same name elsewhere in the city. The closure of 1300 Taberna is considered a significant local news story, marking the end of one of the most peculiar restaurants at LX Factory. As of now, there's no public information about the new management or ownership of LX Factory, or details regarding the handover to another company in the industry.

The closure of 1300 Taberna leaves a void in Lisbon's culinary scene, especially for its devoted patrons. The restaurant's legacy as a founding pillar of LX Factory will be remembered, and its impact on the local community will be felt for years to come.
