Those that exist today include Snob Bar, opened in 1964, Café de São Bento These restaurants all bear details that were likely inspired by Marrare’s establishments: a doorbell to gain access heavy wood and leather and velvet furnishings but in recent years as Lisbon’s restaurant scene has shifted in a direction that accommodates tourists and food trends Their fate could have been yet another millennial pink-hued space that blends small plates and natural wines but in this case all three were rescued by unlikely saviors: restaurant groups “I think we’re reaching a time when people are tired of new things opening every day,” says Miguel Garcia which was formed after the purchase of Café de São Bento in 2022 which Garcia and his group subsequently obtained in 2024 I think that’s the main reason the owner gave me the business.” Snob Bar had been run by two successive owners – brothers We had visited the restaurant a few years back Seemingly little had changed since he took over in 1974 and customers were still smoking in the dining room Oliveira was in his 70s and ready to retire; Garcia got wind of this and made him an offer “The place needed a lot of refurbishment,” Garcia tells us and I want the place to continue exactly how it is.’ And we closed the deal.” Garcia subsequently reconditioned the restaurant’s wood interior replaced the tabletops (retaining the original legs) and upholstery (a necessity due to those decades of cigarette smoke) and renovated the bathrooms and the kitchen Because the entirety of the previous staff – Albino Olivera and a helper – had left offering a broader selection of whiskeys and cocktails Snob Bar used to be a favorite haunt of journalists some of whom had been eating and drinking there for decades so Garcia retained the restaurant’s landline keeping the number private as a way for regulars to make a booking The menu still spans only a scant handful of items with an emphasis on steaks (the bife à Snob is essentially a tweak on that bife à Marrare steak served with a cream sauce) and the beloved beef croquettes all of which are sold at the same prices as before The ingredients are sourced from elsewhere these days ‘This could be even better [than before],’” Garcia tells us He adds that the takeover of Café de São Bento left an even smaller footprint: “There the team is still the same – I just hired more people because they’re doing more meals a day I did a face-lift – it needed a few improvements.” Across town, the recent takeover of Café do Paço also appears to have retained much of the classic steakhouse’s infrastructure and legacy. In 2024, Grupo Paradigma, whose portfolio also includes the restaurants Ofício and Canalha With the exception of two employees who had opted to retire they retained nearly the entire restaurant staff as well as the restaurant’s menu and furnishings “We don’t want to impose ourselves on a space that’s fine as it is,” explains Margarida Rosa “When [Paradigma] took over they maintained everything exactly as it was,” explains Maria Alice Silva who has worked in the kitchen of Café do Paço since its opening in 2009 “And the steaks are prepared in the same way they always have been.” We had also eaten at Café do Paço before the changing of hands and the only difference we were able to spot was the absence of a wide-screen TV from the dining room (the only function of which was solely to display the Smooth FM playlist; the playlist remains) but surprisingly have not opted to promote Café do Paço via social media “[Our customers] were people who weren’t so connected to social media and came quite frequently – phone reservations filled the room,” explains Silva “It was enough; they didn’t want too many new people – it brought too much noise.” It’s a highly unorthodox move on the part of a restaurant group which would normally be involved in everything from the concept and interior design to the food and marketing from the very earliest stages of a restaurant’s inception Is this handoff approach a model for restaurant preservation in a rapidly changing city It’s still too early to know just how long the new owners will allow their acquisitions this much autonomy but we’re certain that we’d rather see a rescued-if-subtly-updated classic restaurant than yet another cookie-cutter brunch venue or pastel de nata bakery And we’re pretty sure that António Marrare would agree loading map - please wait...Map could not be loaded - please enable Javascript!→ more information Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

Abrindo Espaços proposes to integrate the various thematic units of the Plan and promote in a collaborative way with communities and public authorities sports and leisure activities that favour the repair process and contribute to ensure the conditions of existence and autonomous reproduction of cultural references in these locations. It is an initiative encouraging local protagonism and favours cultural and intergenerational exchange It also represents an opportunity to resume socio-cultural sporting and leisure activities interrupted by the dam collapse Abrindo Espaços benefited more than 2,000 people in the municipalities of Rio Doce and Santa Cruz do Escalvado in Minas Gerais until 2023 The project started its calendar of activities in Bento Rodrigues in April 2024 Read today's Portuguese stories delivered to your email Road traffic will be closed from Tuesday, for a month, between Praça da Liberdade, in the lower part of Aliados, and São Bento due to the works on the Porto Metro "Starting from the 4th of February and for an estimated period of 30 days traffic in Praça Almeida Garrett [in front of São Bento station] will only be in the upward direction (i.e. Afonso Henriques and Mouzinho da Silveira to Rua de Sá da Bandeira)" reads a statement released by the company today "Pedestrian circulation, however, is always guaranteed via the sidewalk next to the Igreja dos Congregados", says Metro do Porto be able to circulate between Praça da Liberdade To access Rua de Mouzinho da Silveira you can use the detour at Largo dos Lóios The issue at hand is the construction of the S with Metro do Porto stating that "the Pink Line (G) project has made significant progress in recent times with its completion scheduled for the end of next July" the station platform has been built and there are already stairs the platform for the new station is currently under construction" only less than 150 meters remain to be excavated in the connection between Jardim do Carregal and Avenida da França" which will connect São Bento to Casa da Música is scheduled for completion in July 2025 and the line should start operating this summer Metro do Porto announced the evacuation of Avenida dos Aliados and Praça Almeida Garrett adding that it had complied with the agreement with the municipality to remove the restrictions before São João "This clearance of the roads reflects the progressive progress in the works on the Pink Line and the fulfillment of the commitment agreed with the Porto City Council in order to remove road constraints in these areas before dia de São João" the Pink line will connect to the current Casa da Música and São Bento metro stations and will have intermediate stations at Hospital de Santo António and Praça da Galiza We appreciate that not everyone can afford to pay for our services but if you are able to we ask you to support The Portugal News by making a contribution – no matter how small You can change how much you give or cancel your contributions at any time Send us your comments or opinion on this article Reaching over 400,000 people a week with news about Portugal By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Cascais with a "strictly identical" menu served in a similar space but with an outdoor terrace and more natural light From the heart of Lisbon to the centre of Cascais Café de São Bento finally opens in the town this Wednesday The menu — which features the house's signature steak as its main attraction — is "strictly identical" to the one at the original location who purchased Café de São Bento in 2022 with plans for expansion Cascais has always been one of the locations considered. In fact, while searching for spaces, Miguel Garcia discovered what would eventually become Bougain. Following his growing connection to the town, he was later invited to explore the restaurant by the Bay that would become the Italian Corleone the time has come for Café de São Bento — and the plans for expansion remain with another restaurant in Lisbon and one in Porto already confirmed as goals by the owner The traditional Café de São Bento steak which has had the exact same recipe since its founding in 1982 remains the hallmark and soul of the restaurant — in fact it was even named by Time Out as "the best steak in Lisbon" Perhaps it’s now "the best steak in Cascais" it costs €30 (200 grams) or €35 (250 grams) they also serve grilled steaks or the Portuguese-style steak The dish is inspired by the historic steaks from the Marrare cafés four establishments opened in 19th-century Lisbon by the Italian Antonio Marrare whose atmosphere also influenced the creation and concept of Café de São Bento when it opened in the 1980s The menu also includes gratin cod with cream (€23) as a fish option there are appetizers such as duck foie gras with apple and toasted bread (€14.50); the already classic garlic prawns (€14.50); beef tartare made from minced sirloin served with toast (€15); veal carpaccio with Parmesan and balsamic vinegar reduction (€14); or Iberian ham (€18) standout desserts include apple tarte tatin served warm with vanilla ice cream (€9); crème brûlée (€8); homemade cheesecake with red berries (€9); or "the best chocolate cake in the world" (€9) which includes a main dish and either a starter or dessert — as well as water You may also want to accompany it with a glass of Café de São Bento wine a red produced in collaboration with Herdade Papa Leite created to celebrate the opening in Cascais and the 43rd anniversary of the brand "To preserve the essence of the new Café de São Bento the new team underwent training at the Lisbon restaurant for over a month Some of the more experienced staff members made the journey in reverse helping set up the Café de São Bento in Cascais with their knowledge and expertise has been the same for 39 years — his older brother was one of the founding partners In transforming a former music shop (which had once been a restaurant) into Café de São Bento only one change stands out: velvet curtains were not installed to avoid the space feeling 'too heavy' curtains that allow natural light to enter were chosen — especially since one of the façades features an outdoor terrace with 16 seats brass on some of the lamps and decorative items scattered throughout the space The marble counter is green Guatemala; even the playlist — predominantly focused on jazz and American crooners — is exactly the same You still have to ring the doorbell to enter maintaining the privacy of an elegant place where people are encouraged to ,"their time," and where there are many regular customers it was invented a long time ago," explains Miguel Garcia "We don’t want to create franchise-style copies with a focus on hospitality and the art of welcoming Café de São Bento has been serving the same families in Lisbon for generations Café de São Bento serves steaks until 2 a.m. Miguel Garcia believes the town's nightlife is not as late partly due to the lack of bars or entertainment venues nearby but he leaves the door open to extend the hours if there is demand The new Café de São Bento features an open kitchen where dishes are finished that originate from the group's central kitchen The interior dining area accommodates 36 people — with the tables close together but the building is designed so that there is no echo we’re here to stay and to build bonds with our customers." Since taking control of the restaurant in 2022 Café de São Bento has managed to double its revenue Miguel Garcia adds that his group will open more restaurants this year and that as for the Café de São Bento brand About us Contact us The whistle of the Historical Christmas Steam Train hearalds a journey that dives into the Christmas spirit nostalgia and fun come together to create magical moments for the whole family there will be four daily outings: two from Porto to Ermesinde and two from Ermesinde back to Porto The iconic CP 0186 steam locomotive and the five historic carriages that usually make up the Douro Historic Train but now decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments promise to provide an immersive journey back in time that brings back the charm and nostalgia of the first decades of railway transport There will be entertainment from a theatre group making the journey even more special and tasty passengers can visit the Christmas Village and the ‘biggest Christmas Tree in the country’ in the Ermesinde Urban Park The Historical Christmas Steam Train tickets also provide unlimited travel on Porto urban trains the same day if they show the steam train ticket These Historical Christmas Steam Train journeys are organised in partnership with Valongo City Council Link to photos:https://we.tl/t-Bfs0QCii59 Historical Christmas Steam Train at a glance Next dates: Saturdays - 21 and 28 December (2024) and 4 January (2025); Sundays - 22 and 29 December (2024) and 5 January (2025) Timetable: Departures in Porto - São Bento at 15.03 and 19.37; Departures in Ermesinde at 16.40 and 21.25 Prices: €11 per adult and €5.5 per child (4 to 12 years old) Those wishing to travel on the historic train in both directions will need to purchase tickets for both journeys Tickets for the Historical Christmas Steam Train allow you to travel On sale from: Ticket offices or online at www.cp.pt Composition: CP 0186 steam locomotive and five historic carriages usually used by the Douro Historical Train illuminated with Christmas lights and decorations A city with emblematic landscapes and centuries of history Shall we take a look at some of Porto’s monuments But Porto is more than just a postcard. It is also a city with history, of which the many monuments and buildings of public interest are a direct testimony. After a medieval tour outside Porto it’s time to travel back in time in the heart of Invicta Our list is made up of monuments in Porto There is also room here for other attractions which although they don’t have this official designation The Clérigos Tower is one of Porto’s ex-libris and probably one of its most photographed buildings With more than 70 meters and 240 steps, climbing to the top of the Clérigos Tower is (almost) mandatory for all Porto residents and visitors. From there you have access to one of the best views of Porto Classified as a National Monument since 1910 the Clérigos Tower was designed by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni in the 18th century with its baroque style and great decorative detail Visiting the Palácio da Bolsa is synonymous with encountering one of Porto’s most beautiful monuments This building impresses with its elegance and rich decoration The Palácio da Bolsa began to be built in the second half of the 19th century on the site of the former Convento de São Francisco the Porto Commercial Association has been based here Inside there are many rooms and details that stand out. But there is one place, in particular, that doesn’t seem to be in Porto which impresses with its aesthetics reminiscent of the Alhambra This is one of Porto’s oldest monuments and is located in the heart of the historic center The building dates back to the 12th century but has undergone some interventions in more than one period It shows characteristics of Romanesque art (and not only) This religious temple stands out for its façade with a central body framed by two towers and a beautiful rose window which immediately takes us back to the medieval era As a symbol of the medieval importance of this building Filipa de Lencastre in the Cathedral of Porto Another curiosity is that it was also here in the 18th century take advantage of the fact that you’re nearby and contemplate the Pelourinho da Sé Classified as a National Monument since 1910 the Episcopal Palace of Porto is well worth a visit Located next to the imposing Porto Cathedral it is considered to be the first true palace in the Invicta city the building began to be constructed in the 18th century to serve as the official residence of the Bishop of Porto Inside, you can enjoy various historical ‘treasures’ and an incredible view over the city the Church of São Francisco is one of those places you should visit at least once in your life in the city São Bento Station is recognized as one of the most beautiful in Portugal and beyond before it was a point of departure and arrival for travelers this place was home to the former Convent of S there’s even a supernatural myth linked to this place’s religious past In all, more than 550 m2 of tiles make this one of the station’s main attractions, and the fact that they depict historical scenes stands out. Where: Praça de Almeida Garrett, 4000-069 Porto The Church of Nossa Senhora da Lapa, or simply Igreja da Lapa, was built by the Brotherhood of the same name in the 18th century. However, construction wasn ‘t completed until the 19th century. This religious temple ‘hides’ a great curiosity. Inside, and kept under lock and key, is the heart of King Pedro IV of Portugal. The monarch’s heart was donated in his will as a sign of homage and gratitude to the people of Porto for their sacrifices during the famous siege of the city. In addition, the Church of Lapa has a spectacular pipe organ, the Brotherhood’s ex-libris, which is considered one of the best in the Iberian Peninsula. View this post on Instagram Cheese Castle The Fort of São Francisco Xavier the Castelo do Queijo is a Property of Public Interest in a dominant position over the sea and relatively close to the mouth of the River Douro The name by which this monument became famous is potentially due to the fact that it is built on a granite rock in the shape of a cheese The fortress was built in the 17th century to serve as a bastion of defense This suggestion is a little less obvious than the previous ones the Monastery of São Bento da Vitória was classified as a National Monument in 1977 dates back to the 17th century and extended into the 18th century on the site formerly occupied by the Olival Jewish Quarter In 2007, part of the building was allocated to the São João National Theatre (one of Porto’s most emblematic the aters) which uses the space to host shows and events Note: to visit this monument you need to book 48 hours in advance (information: visitas@tnsj.pt / 22 340 1900) The Pestana Palácio do Freixo is one of Porto’s most imposing and beautiful monuments The building was built in the 18th century and reveals features of great sumptuousness bearing the seal of quality of the famous architect Nicolau Nasoni It is one of the most remarkable examples of Portuguese civil baroque with four projecting turrets at each angle The interior has very rich decorative details. But also worth mentioning are the Italian-inspired gardens. A wonderful place, facing the Douro. Where: Estrada Nacional 108 206, 4300-316 Porto Located in the heart of the city, the Capela das Almas draws the attention of tourists and locals alike due to its fabulous tiles painted in shades of blue The religious temple was built at the end of the 18th century The tiles that cover the chapel are by Eduardo Leite They date from 1929 and depict the lives of St Located in Praça da Batalha the Church of Santo Ildefonso was built in the 18th century and is an excellent example of Baroque architecture in the city we think it makes perfect sense to include it in the list of monuments and attractions to visit in Porto The exterior of the church stands out for its tile cladding by Jorge Colaço the beautiful stained glass windows are worth mentioning as are the neo-classical altars and the Baroque carved altarpiece the Church of Santo Ildefonso has been classified as a Property of Public Interest Porto’s medieval wall would only be completed during the reign of King Ferdinand in 1376; hence the name by which it would become known – Fernandina Wall Little of the original section has survived to this day with only two sections remaining : one in Guindais and the other in Caminho Novo both classified as National Monuments since 1926 Studio Gameiro completes The VAULT as an integrated residential project, spanning approximately 157 sqm in size and located in a singular building on the historic and creative Rua de São Bento street in Lisbon ‘As good and long lasting stories go we wanted to take this challenge a bit further as a unique opportunity to go that extra mile and were extremely fortunate to find such an interesting couple moving into the city who handed us the challenge to design and build something completely unique which played with the usual notions and principles of space,’ shares the studio. all images © Francisco Nogueira The perfect metaphor for The VAULT apartment by Studio Gameiro (see more here) is that the inside of the apartment mimics what the street has lacked for decades and which used to define it as a starting and finishing point: the Arch of São Bento The fact that the arch still exists nowadays in another square of Lisbon and that the marks of this ‘uncoupling’ are still deeply visible on the street itself (and on the tiny rocky side which connects it to the National Parliament) gave the team an extra shot of energy to create something deeply rooted on the notion of the unexpected/unusual This historic but grounded reference to arched forms is now perceived throughout its operational/logistics framework something pushing forward. The space is then smoothly connected to a breakfast corner looking almost like a roundabout and giving one of the structural elements of this project: a strong character embedded with an almost floating This contradiction of sorts permeates the entire apartment Studio Gameiro designs ethereal curved ceilings throughout The continuation of the curved ceiling leads to the bespoke kitchen a brass pendant element and extensive storage units (which aesthetically and structurally follow the tone of the walls) stand out make magical appearances as playing hide and seek. The kitchen provides access to a small patio ideal for a short break (and a good book on cold Winter nights) The opposite path leads to the private area of the apartment which is traversed by a corridor that begins and ends with a stone arch Full circle and the perfect metaphor for the project itself This corridor leads to the bedrooms and a family bathroom ultimately leading to the impressive entrance of the master suite this room has an almost cinematic visual flair that defines what the studio was keen to have as a foundation stone: space as playful and functional as it could These layers work as different ‘levels’ to create smooth transitions between each area reminiscent of the Roman aqueducts which had basins to calm and redirect the water’s flow. It is as if all these historical references came together to create ‘free flow’ areas to promote smooth transitions between each room The use of materials such as Moleanos limestone and brass is a nod to the aqueduct’s heritage and technical expertise as an Architecture and Design wonder the stone permeates all prominent areas like the arches which divide the spaces the kitchen countertops and the bathroom sinks while shiny brass represents a much more industrial character alluding to the hooks that held lighting cables in the tunnels is poetically edited into signature pieces as it is discreetly incorporated into the project with a functional purpose From the entrance there are two side paths which ‘divide’ the apartment into complementary ‘half moons’ corridor leading to the bedrooms and a family bathroom From the common areas of both kitchen and dining room the same sense of openess permeates the acess to the sleeping rooms accessed through another set of arched corridors This ‘suspension’ framework is intricately connected to the apartment’s storyline As the arch was part of the same technical design of the Aqueduto das Águas Livres which used to supply water to Lisbon the curved ceilings and arches guide residents through it like a meander/path much like water was guided through the arches of the aqueduct to people’s homes for centuries. Similar to the soft and mysterious lighting of those tunnels (which have an almost cinematic and stage/set display) light is skillfully designed to illuminate warm-textured surfaces coated with lime stucco stone a dark wood baseboard delineates and contrasts with the areas where the existing wooden flooring has been repurposed. In a way The VAULT is a singular departure for Studio Gameiro as it made it push any artistic and structural boundaries it still had into a full scale experimental approach to materials the shape of the stone basins also inspired the design of the three sinks in the apartment’s bathrooms (and again made it possible for the studio to create tailor made solutions keen on keeping track of the best of craft in Portugal) ‘Every project has the ability to change how we work But this one also made us look into everything with a different perspective Where most saw an arch which needed to maintain its ‘suspension’ we just turned it upside down into a trampoline to jump higher,’ conclude the designers a brass pendant element and extensive storage units Studio Gameiro emphasizes the vaulted outline multiple times architect: Studio Gameiro | @studiogameiro stonework: Ladridecor, Alfredo Antunes Flor, Formas de Pedra textiles: Teresa Gameiro, Vidal Fabr carpentry: Alberto&Alberto, Patrique Santos, MNIR, OnlyWood ceramics: Marta Raimundo photographer: Francisco Nogueira | @francisconogueira AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style I don’t usually take advantage of the night life offered by any particular city Oh, I sometimes make exceptions when I’m in New York. A few years ago my wife Mary Pat and I took in a performance of the Aaron Sorkin stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Even though we skipped any post-show cocktails something that would have been obligatory even a couple of decades ago we still didn’t get back to our Brooklyn Airbnb until late Age tends to pose such limits on some of us, as it did continually on me throughout the trek through southern Spain and Portugal that Mary Pat and I made in late May – which I have been recounting here on Going Mobile for the past several weeks I last left off at the end of our first night in Porto, Portugal’s second-biggest city. I rose the next morning, as always first among our travel party (which now includes our Spokane friends Ann and Matt). That meant I was first to enjoy the basic breakfast offered by the Moov Hotel Porto Centro. I say “basic” because there were no eggs of any type on the menu I say “enjoy” ironically because the only coffee came from machines But some caffeine is preferable to none at all And after I hit the “brew” button on the machines a half-dozen times again just a few minutes before the friendly and gracious hotel employees began clearing the tables a decision had to be made: how to spend the day that was set before us Based on what we’d already experienced which extends beyond the city’s historic center and gives riders a good idea of just how important the river is to the city itself The tour, in fact, was well worth the 23 euros it cost each of us because it provides a far greater perspective on Porto, a city that Rick Steves – for one – charitably describes as “full of gritty old-world charm,” of being “unpretentious” and of having “an endearing warts-and-all character.” All of that is no doubt code for but there are things about Porto worth checking out especially when you consider that it adorns the walls of a place dedicated to community transit “Standing in the main hall of São Bento station is a bit like being inside a gigantic crockery cabinet That’s not an experience you get very often on public transport making it a worthy entry onto the list of transport beauties.” Another positive we experienced was the late lunch we enjoyed at Tapabento a place recommended to Mary Pat by her former law student Sara and her husband Victor Dubbed by someone on TripAdvisor as “The world's best restaurant next to a train station,” Tapabento also features some of the friendliest hosts in any restaurant anywhere Even though we arrived just minutes before the 3 p.m we were shepherded to a booth and treated like mini-royals And even though the dishes that we initially wanted were sold out (the penalty for last-minute arrivals) uphill all the way and mostly under a hot sun we had little energy to do much more than plod one foot in front of the next and dream about our air-conditioned rooms But the ensuing late-afternoon break allowed us to regain our strength so that when Mary Pat made a dinner reservation for 8:30 we were again ready for whatever Porto had to offer It was at the restaurant Casa Ribeiro while eating pizzas and caprese salads (with fresh burrata) that we had another personal encounter of the kind that makes travel so worthwhile It turns out that she had been a missionary in Brazil They both had sought a better life in Portugal and she was working in the restaurant and he was working construction with the idea that one day he – a talented chef she said – would be able to open his own restaurant We did our best to help them out by leaving a substantial tip back to the hotel – where one of us would drift off to sleep with

potential fully aware that the very best I could possibly get would be a harmless Fueling my interest was the allure of Kaley Cuoco in the lead role whose memorable performance in The Big Bang Theory – one of my favorite sitcoms – had me eager to witness her versatility in an action comedy What unfolded on the screen was precisely what I expected Role Play doesn't tell a story we haven't seen before within its mix of the spy Emma (starring Kaley Cuoco) and Dave (co-starring David Oyelowo) have a seemingly perfect life as a couple married for seven years and counting Emma leads a secret life that Dave knows nothing about hiding the fact that she is working as an international assassin for hire with a bounty on her head Owen's script doesn't deviate from the usual spy-action formulas by-the-numbers flick with a consistently warm tone but engagement is sustained through director Thomas Vincent's (director of the films Karnaval Role Play has its ideas executed with commendable efficiency I can't complain about it being misleading or inconsistent since it keeps the silly inoffensive atmosphere all the way through It's not really remarkable in any single aspect Let's dive into the performances in Role Play – Cuoco and Oyelowo are both quite competent a lingering disappointment arises when I realize that her emotional range remains largely untapped Cuoco possesses a nuanced ability to delve into deeper feelings effortlessly leaving me yearning for a more emotionally charged portrayal but the dialogue never allows for that display the supporting cast struggles to break free from shackles of uninspired The exception to this is the ever-charismatic Bill Nighy playinhg Bob who graces the screen with a few captivating amusing minutes in the best sequence of Role Play the overall impact of the rest of the cast is tainted by the clunky dialogue that hampers their potential to shine minor logical nitpicks arise about the protagonist's motivations and the delayed occurrence of certain plot points especially considering the movie's light-hearted nature It's the kind of flick that discourages a deep analytical dive as it sets out to deliver precisely what it promised even if it's just borrowing from hundreds of films that came before I anticipate that Role Play will lead to viewers falling into the trap of watching the movie based on what they think it should be like instead of interpreting it based on what the director Viewers who may wish for the premise to take a darker violent path that the creators never even thought to explore will inevitably end up disappointed despite every single marketing element clearly depicting the film's obviously comedic tone It's a family-friendly mystery-spy-thriller-comedy that embraces all these elements without taking itself too seriously most of the supporting cast falls prey to uninspired dialogue these are somewhat compensated by the filmmaker's commitment to providing a light-hearted entertaining movie that aims to offer families a good time without much seriousness Find more posts in: Review Add our RSS to your Feedly +click here+ Latest posts now available on Bluesky: Get the latest posts

beef and salt garlic and white wine,” says Manuel Fernandes when we ask him to describe the country’s signature steak dish And he should know; since 1987 Chef Manuel has been making the dish at Café de São Bento probably Lisbon’s most famous venue for steak Opened in 1982 as an homage to the steakhouses that had a massive influence on Lisbon’s dining scene during the first half of the 20th century Café de São Bento retains this legacy via heavy furniture lots of wood and velvet and framed portraits A location across the street from Palacete de São Bento means that VIP diners wearing suits and neckties are the norm Bife à portuguesa definitely does not clash with these upscale elements But despite the dish’s traditional-sounding name it’s likely a relatively recent addition to the Portuguese repertoire Virgílio Nogueiro Gomes writes that beef dishes were rare in early Portuguese cookbooks and most early recipes call for grilling beef over coals Pan-fried steaks only started to appear in Portuguese cookbooks in the 20th century and were probably mostly associated with Lisbon Although some of bife à portuguesa’s elements – smoked ham Yet what’s more remarkable is how these disparate elements come together “It should be well-seasoned but not too salty It should have an aroma from the garlic and bay leaf,” says Chef Manuel a move that both emulsifies the sauce and makes it richer the beef can almost seem like an afterthought the steaks at Café de São Bento are made exclusively with tender lean lombo (filet mignon) or vazia (sirloin) – Chef Manuel prefers the latter If bife à portuguesa has one truly over-the-top element we’d argue that it’s the fact that the dish is crowned with a fried egg “A fried egg is obligatory!” Chef Manuel tells us of what must be one of the world’s more decadent garnishes how Chef Manuel Fernandes makes Portuguese-style steak at Café de São Bento We’ve shifted the addition of bay leaf and garlic to a later step such as pojadouro (roughly equivalent to rump or topside steak) works fine for this treatment as well and is what you’ll find most places in Lisbon and you don’t want to have to be searching for ingredients or turn off your flame mid-process so an important step here is setting up your mise en place – chef talk for the ingredients you’ll need easily at hand cured ham and egg (if using) are all ready to go At Café de São Bento, this dish would be accompanied by potatoes, sliced thinly and deep-fried in house. To avoid the mess and fuss of frying potatoes at home, a hack we suggest is to simply buy high-quality, relatively thick “kettle”-style chips (in Portugal, we opt for Ti-ti brand) This recipe makes one relatively large steak; simply up the amounts and repeat the steps for additional diners 200-250g lombo (sirloin) or vazia (filet mignon) steak 1 thin slice of presunto (Portuguese smoked ham) Sprinkle the coarse salt over both sides of the steak add the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the butter flipping occasionally and pressing to sear frying until it has reached your desired degree of doneness increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid simmer Add the smoked ham and “poach” in the wine until just firm Remove the ham and place it on top of the steak Add 2 teaspoons of butter to the wine mixture and maintain at a rapid simmer until the liquid is reduced by a half or so and is just starting to get sauce-like and just barely thick syrupy The Metro do Porto has invested more than 1.6 million euros in promoting local commerce around the Rosa Line construction sites of which around €840,000 relates to compensation for traders In responses to the Lusa agency, Metro do Porto said it paid 839,723 euros to around 20 owners of establishments "who were forced to close temporarily or who saw their activity significantly reduced" "Metro do Porto will continue to pay the compensation due until the end of this contract and is obviously open to analysing new situations that may arise" Since the beginning of construction of the Rosa Line the company has invested more than €1.6 million to support commercial establishments around the construction sites has implemented a set of actions to mitigate the impacts resulting from the works it is carrying out in close coordination with the Porto Traders' Association and the Porto City Council" more than €457 thousand relate to the promotion of local commerce and decoration of construction sites and more than €147 thousand to the security and surveillance of Largo dos Loios Rua Mouzinho da Silveira and Galerias da Trindade The company also lists investments made in terms of marketing campaigns (46.8 thousand euros) support for the Porto Merchants Association (10 thousand euros) and in the Trindade store gallery (113.7 thousand euros) created with the objective of temporarily relocating the businesses affected by the works "We currently have two stores open in Galerias da Trindade in this project that we developed in close contact with the traders themselves" the executive of the Porto Chamber unanimously approved a PSD proposal that requires Metro to carry out an "urgent and fair review" of the compensation criteria for traders which excludes the counting of the years of the Covid-19 pandemic "Using the pandemic years as a reference ignores the exceptional economic reality experienced by traders and does not reflect the true capacity to generate revenue before the works" The recommendation also calls for a study to be carried out on the impact of the works on traders and the implementation of measures to mitigate the impact of the works such as removing the barriers as soon as they are completed "Metro do Porto is a company with exclusively public capital which is why it acts with total transparency demand and rigor when it comes to spending public money to compensate traders" The conclusion of the construction contract for the Rosa Line is scheduled for July 2025 and the line should enter into operation this summer the Rosa Line will connect to the current Casa da Música and São Bento metro stations and will have intermediate stations at Hospital de Santo António and Praça da Galiza Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news Porto with steak cooked rare or well done – the francesinha is Porto’s most famous national dish. This monstrous sandwich was invented in the 50s by a Portuguese man (Daniel Silva) who was living in France at the time Some stick to the traditional version (roast beef or steak wet-cured ham and melted cheese between layers of toasty white bread) but more and more people are embracing variations – from veggie and vegan versions to chicken But be you a purist or an embracer of innovation there’s a francesinha for you on this list ranked.

knew nothing about before watching to continue New Years viewings this time from American actor Jake Johnson Yet another movie that caught my eye due to its interesting cast After Night Swim and Role Play at the start of 2024 it's time for Self Reliance to try to surprise me with a high-concept premise that promises entertainment from all parts of the comedy-thriller spectrum a lonely man trapped in the monotony of his daily life who seizes the opportunity to participate in a dark web reality show where he must survive 30 days without being killed by others – addressed as the "hunters" – and win a million dollars Participants can only be attacked when they're completely alone This loophole is obviously explored by the character who begins a self-discovery adventure within a life-and-death scenario Self Reliance opens with a promising start setting the stage for a thrilling competition with the potential for tons of humor but also a deeper examination of the vitality of human connection it becomes evident that the film falls short of fully realizing most of these aspects The competition side lacks a clear delineation between reality and illusion resulting in ambiguity about the actual stakes involved While it's true that Johnson purposefully introduces misdirections leading viewers to question whether events are unfolding in Walcott's mind or not this technique doesn't always serve the narrative well resulting in a lack of genuine urgency or peril The scarcity of hunters and the absence of a palpable sense of danger contribute to an overall emptiness in the movie's tension and suspense Another of the movie's shortcomings lies in Johnson's handling of action feeling rushed and burdened with a forced action-heavy conclusion fails to inject the necessary adrenaline into the plot at that point Johnson's inexperience as a filmmaker – let alone an action director – becomes apparent and these final moments lack the impact needed to break the growing repetitiveness of the main storyline Johnson manages to deliver a decent character study albeit without reaching an emotional crescendo The movie effectively conveys a coherent message about the importance of human connections emphasizing the joy derived from shared experiences with friends and family exploring this theme adds depth to the protagonist and his motivations Self Reliance offers a rather enjoyable viewing experience led by Johnson and supported by the always charming Anna Kendrick elevates the material with their performances The script provides numerous opportunities for the cast to showcase their comedic prowess and Kendrick's magnetic charisma steals the spotlight during her on-screen moments – please A brisk pace and a short runtime (85 minutes in total) feel appropriate for this type of storytelling the transitions between the different moods are handled well enough to avoid jarring shifts I certainly can't state that Self Reliance reaches its potential – far from it – but I would still recommend it to most viewers who I believe will have lots of fun with it Self Reliance possesses an intriguing premise but ultimately plays it too safe More audacity and bite were required to truly leave a mark with Jake Johnson's feature directorial debut Good work as an actor in the lead role (Anna Kendrick steals the show a decent showcase of his strengths as a writer – despite failing to fully capitalize on the narrative's real potential the lack of a firm grip on the thriller elements and some tonal inconsistencies prevent the movie from reaching the next level Some humorous moments and a sweet message surrounding the importance of human connections make it a worthwhile watch for those seeking a lighthearted comedy-thriller The company that operates the Hard Rock Café in Porto has asked Metro do Porto for compensation of 1.7 million euros due to the impacts of the construction of the Pink Line According to a lawsuit that was forwarded from the Judicial Court of the District of Porto to the Administrative and Tax Court (TAF) of Porto the claim is for compensation of 1.7 million euros of which 1.38 million euros relate to property damage and 343 thousand euros for lost profits claims that the construction of the Pink Line (São Bento - Casa da Música) of the Porto Metro "has had a profoundly negative impact on the business" The issue at hand is the restrictions on road and pedestrian traffic around the commercial establishment the company states that the construction sites "make it impossible to see the commercial establishment" The company states that its turnover "since the beginning of the works carried out by the Defendant [Metro do Porto The company also requested statements from the president of Metro do Porto and listed as witnesses the mayor of Porto and the councilor responsible for Tourism and Internationalization of the municipality In Metro do Porto's response the transport company states that all traders affected by the works "will benefit greatly from the completion of the work with the increase in the value of their properties and businesses" "We would be in a bad situation if the inevitable constraints that a project of this importance and size temporarily causes to the lives of all those who live work and travel in the city implied the assumption of an obligation to compensate all the traders and residents of the city who are affected" The preliminary hearing of the case is scheduled for October 25th the Pink Line will connect to the current Casa da Música and São Bento metro stations and will have intermediate stations at Hospital de Santo António and Praça da Galiza The works are scheduled to be completed in July 2025 Indont believe that Hard Rock Cafe have any prospect of success as the authorities are acting in the greater public interest by improving the transport infrastructure for the benefit of users of public transport and therefore Hard Rock Cafe or the owners of the business should have taken out insurance cover for these types of risk One of the joys of Lisbon’s food scene is the access it allows to cuisines from across the Lusophone world And one of the most represented is the food of Cabo Verde (formerly known as Cape Verde) an archipelago of 10 islands off the western coast of Africa Its ubiquity is due to immigrants from the islands but also perhaps because it has so many links with the cuisine of Portugal “We’re a small country with few people and very little rain You can’t grow anything there,” she tells us The one connection we have with African cooking is cornmeal.” the relatively brief menu at By Milocas features half a dozen dishes that include corn in various forms without a doubt the Cabo Verdean dish most people in Lisbon are familiar with a hearty stew that combines hominy (corn kernels that have been treated with lye in order to make them both easier to preserve and more nutritious) We ask Milocas why cachupa has almost single handedly become synonymous with Cabo Verdean food and she tells us “Even people who don’t have money have corn,” explaining that with this ingredient as a base just about anybody on Cabo Verde can make a pot of cachupa from whatever ingredients may be at hand Although people in Lisbon might associate cachupa with meat – in particular with Portuguese sausages such as chouriço and morcela – Milocas goes on to tell us that in Cabo Verde the dish is also made with seafood a tuna cachupa and a vegetarian version on a daily basis All are bulked out with kernels of hominy – white and yellow – three types of beans (“Not everybody in Cabo Verde uses three kinds of beans cachupa from the previous day that has been reduced supplemented with linguiça and topped with a fried egg The dish is accompanied by a chili sauce that Milocas makes herself “I buy chili at a Chinese market,” she tells us Other corn-based dishes at By Milocas include pastéis de milho savory pies made from mixture of cornmeal and sweet potato and stuffed with tuna; sopa de rolon a soup of cornmeal supplemented with flakes of tuna; and mousse de camoca The menu at By Milocas also occasionally extends into the mainland “I used to cook at Cabo Verdean embassies in other countries in Africa,” Milocas tells us. “In doing this I learned African recipes.” As a result, daily specials – which are typically announced on Instagram – dip into the cuisines of São Tomé and after a few frames she rushes back to the kitchen Although By Milocas is something of a family restaurant with Milocas’s son and sister also lending a hand it’s ultimately the expression of one woman – one that came about after decades of learning ingredients and dishes of the Portuguese-speaking world we’re lucky to have Milocas here in Lisbon The Mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, has defended the need for Metro do Porto to "not lie" to citizens regarding delays on construction sites saying that the public company "has a responsibility" "We cannot contribute to the degradation of Metro's image We have to seek the fair measure and the fair measure is to say 'Don't lie to the people of Porto'" who in his presentation included various news about the different subway works underway in the city denounced the "successive delays" on all subway work fronts "Nobody believes that the Pink line will be finished in July next year" The conclusion of the construction contract for the Rosa Line, which will connect São Bento to Casa da Música, is scheduled for July 2025 and the line should enter into operation this summer, according to Metro do Porto Rui Moreira said that the municipality was faced with a new request from the metro "to open Cardosas again" which implies redirecting traffic through Largo dos Loios "They need another piece of work that they estimate will take three or four weeks," he said saying he had asked the company whether the project was related to the implementation of the tram line that next year they will intervene again," he said adding that the tram service is "experiencing an extraordinary drop in revenue." Avenida dos Aliados and Praça Almeida Garrett were partially freed from the Rosa Line works Rui Moreira also said that Metro do Porto intends to "carry out a new intervention in Rotunda da Boavista using the same method that led to the condemnation of some of those trees" "I believe that the population has been repeatedly deceived and that is what we cannot tolerate," he said councilor Mariana Ferreira Macedo criticised Metrô's actions which she accused of promoting "false communication" Social-democratic councilor Alberto Machado also considered that delays on work fronts increase citizens' "disbelief and disbelief" in the Metro "Metro has to tell the truth to the people of Porto Alegre and has to say what is happening condemning the attitude of the current administration arguing that "no political force can do anything" other than condemn Metro's actions in a letter sent to the Municipal Assembly working group that it would do everything possible to ensure that Praça da Liberdade was free from work on the Rosa Line until the end of the year This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Monday, January 6, 2020 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM CST Maresh-Meredith & Acklam Funeral Home Racine Location 803 Main St. Racine, WI 53403 (262) 634-7888 Driving Directions Monday, January 6, 2020 7:00 PM CST Maresh-Meredith & Acklam Funeral Home Racine Location 803 Main St. Racine, WI 53403 (262) 634-7888 Driving Directions daughter of the late Manuel “Benny” and Reva (Nee: Simpson) Bento Lani moved to Racine in 1980 and had been employed by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Above all she enjoyed time spent with her family especially her great nieces and great nephew Elijah Bento; great nieces and great nephew Rosemary and Bob Dehli; other relatives and friends Relatives and friends may meet at the funeral home A time to share memories will follow at 7 PM In lieu of flowers memorials to the Wisconsin Humane Society have been suggested JavaScript is disabled.

There isn’t much at the tiny terminus of Pocinho, just shy of the border with Spain the 200km (125-mile) journey connecting this rural village with Porto is its own destination it’s possible to approach the Linha do Douro as an unhurried day trip – one that even offers a break for lunch and wine tasting To ensure that you have time for lunch and wine tasting, it’s necessary to take the first train of the day, which departs from Porto’s legendary São Bento Train Station at 6:30am I was obliged to change trains in the town of Ermesinde or you can catch the first direct Linha do Douro departure from São Bento at 9:20am painted a 1970s-era orange and virtually empty – could easily feature in a Wes Anderson film you’ll traverse Porto’s urban sprawl – predominantly gray The first tunnel (of 23 total) is in Caíde which is also where the views start to become more rural The town of Ribadouro offers the first glimpse of the Douro where you’ll arrive just before 10am (nearer 11:45am are right in town and do tastings of standard and fortified wines which arrives in Pocinho in time for you to catch the last return train back to Porto The final hour that connects Pinhão and Pocinho is arguably the most beautiful section of the line – and the section that the day-trippers on boats from Porto miss out on the train crosses a bridge (one of 35 along the route) to the south bank of the river Shift to the left side of the train to see tiny train stations – shelters abandoned wineries and vineyards that extend right to the tracks the landscape abruptly widens into a broad valley studded with olive trees a dam and a power plant looming in the distance the original wooden station is still intact though there’s not much else to see or do here take a bathroom break and board the train (most likely the same one you arrived on) returning to Porto I did the trip in January, which meant the weather was particularly wet and misty. If you’re serious about clear views or photography – or simply want to take advantage of the longer daylight hours – make the trip during the summer months. Pinhão is your best bet for food and drink. Alternatively, if you’re on a budget, pack a lunch and a bottle of wine ahead of time and plan a riverside picnic. I bought my tickets in advance, yet given how few people ride the Linha do Douro nowadays, you’d probably be fine buying your tickets on the day of travel at the station. A round-trip ticket costs around €30; breaking the trip into bits and buying three separate tickets as I suggest here will cost a tiny bit more. and designers have captured all sides of the Valley

nearly impossible for Jurassic Park to be left off of such a list A masterpiece that quickly turned into a classic and even though The Lost World and Jurassic World are decent enough the saga gave rise to drastically inferior sequels on every level Despite the tremendous disappointment that Fallen Kingdom caused most viewers its cliffhanger finale created a terrific premise for the next installment How could anyone fail to succeed with a story involving dinosaurs scattered around the world again while humanity learns to coexist with them Jurassic World Dominion achieves this "feat" of failure Colin Trevorrow stated that this was the film he always wanted to make within the famous saga but the truth is that the most interesting and exciting part of this premise is reduced to a mere Dominion picks up a few years after the end of the previous flick viewers are placed in a moment in time where humans are already used to living with dinosaurs and these with other animals & nature itself what narrative did Trevorrow and co-writer Emily Carmichael come up with predictable screenplay without a single surprise throughout its 146-minute runtime focused on espionage and Taken-inspired subplots completely shifting all attention to human characters and setting dinosaurs as mere extras with occasional appearances on the big screen From a cliche antagonistic CEO with futile motivations to the terrible decision of splitting the cast – the OG actors only meet the new ones after the beginning of the third act – Dominion commits the biggest crime a summer blockbuster can make: being boring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard find themselves involved in a kidnapping-rescue narrative that goes through the most intolerable points of logical absurdity but the major issue is really the lack of impact or importance to the overall story All attempts to recover what they lost do little to change the course of the main plot The hand off and subsequent chase sequence in Malta could be removed entirely from the film and only one new character would be lost – DeWanda Wise is phenomenal as Kayla Watts but she doesn't stop being just another adventure companion with no personal arc or growth Dominion fails to deliver even slightly riveting action scenes Whether it's due to the unbearable shaky cam or the extremely choppy editing it's genuinely shocking that a 2022 blockbuster can't harness the technology that enables stunning visual effects to create jaw-dropping dinosaurs Not only is the dinosaur action sparse over two-and-a-half-hours only the best sequence of Dominion escapes this monotonous feeling: a moment that lasts shorter than it seems involving Claire and a very particular dinosaur species will leave all viewers at the edge of their seats I wish the rest had the same level of technical quality and entertainment value Sam Neill and Laura Dern return to their iconic roles It's truly nostalgic to see the duo interacting again but Dominion's script still ruins what could have been a brilliant Grant and Sattler could be replaced by two random The attributes of both the paleontologist and paleobotanist are insignificant to the almost offensive storyline in which they're inserted An espionage quest with a questionable beginning-middle-end where even a forever-captivating Jeff Goldblum struggles to get past the dull one-liners Dominion barely avoids being a complete catastrophe due to the positive factors inherent to the franchise: cast These three elements came from past movies and were built and developed year after year creating a connection with the audience that would always improve any installment even Steven Spielberg must be wondering how a saga could deteriorate so much over time Even the climax of the third act is ultimately disappointing due to the awful decision to film the final battle between the massive dinosaurs – a moment that had close to no build-up – with the camera locked on the human characters while the massive amazing action is going on in the background putting the emotional weight of the entire story on Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) proves to be a total failure for Dominion the young actress does her best with what she gets but the relationship between Owen and Blue holds much more potential which ends up being underexplored Just like dinosaurs spreading out across the planet and Claire grew and consolidated off-screen forcing viewers to care about a character more than they were supposed to because there wasn't much to care about Dominion ends the saga in a deplorable manner.. at least until a new trilogy arises sometime in the future Jurassic World Dominion is a massive disappointment on nearly every level Colin Trevorrow ignores the fascinating idea of mankind trying to deal with the chaos of dinosaurs repopulating Earth In addition to the lousy character treatment the cast is divided into two storylines focused on nonsensical placing dinosaurs on the back burner during the excessively long runtime Action sequences reach drastically low entertainment levels sometimes imperceptible due to erratic camera work and choppy editing and score might save this from being a complete trainwreck but not from miserably failing to deliver an epic conclusion to a saga that deserved nothing less than that Find more posts in: Review, Sci-Fi Peter Schweizer on Jun 14 Manuel São Bento on Jun 15 no matter how bad it is I'm still planning on watching it.. I always recommend watching any film you're excited for or interested in I'd never tell people to NOT watch a movie especially a blockbuster made to be seen in theaters 🙂 I'm more worried about pretty much unavoidable fact that this last installment is a weak one It probably won't be worth it but it's a film than can't be missed I'll try to report back about both of them when I see them things tend to work out when people keep being persistent about their life choices I found it boring and they just wasted a prime Jeff Goldblum The OG cast definitely deserved better roles in this one There was a funny moment with Jeff Goldblum being told to button his shirt up as a nod to the first one and I am still so sorry I wasted money on this Maybe in the inevitable future trilogy we get lucky Manuel São Bento on Jun 16 This review perfectly captures the things that were bothering me What a messy and unsatisfying way to end the saga I like the "fascinating idea of mankind trying to deal with the chaos of dinosaurs repopulating Earth" which was hinted at in the intro but it felt as if the scriptwriters avoided putting the hard yards in to find a story that feels as if it writes itself like the first one and just threw stuff at the screen hoping it would connect What a missed opportunity with the cast they had My issue was that most dinosaurs were either caught in a black market as pets or in a sanctuary with the exception of mosasaurus I went thinking we'd see the greater conflicts or dinosaurs in human/animal environments ie The San Diego incident but with more dinosaurs Instead it got glossed over as more of an intro In reality it would've been a more ecological disaster and most neighborhoods wouldn't have known about dinosaurs being loose like the surfers in the finishing of Fallen Kingdom I felt disappointed in them avoiding the conflict of dinosaurs being loose the most that happened was Pterodactyls making nests in NYC and apparently being okay and that poor guy in Malta getting eaten by an Allosaur New comments are no longer allowed on this post Justine Wintjes works at the KwaZulu-Natal Museum where the São Bento cowries are housed and some are on display The research this article is based on arose from the workshop 'Ilha de Moçambique: Thinking Oceanically / Pensando a Partir do Oceano' hosted by Oceanic Humanities for the Global South and Kaleidoscopio in 2019 View all partners In the archaeology storerooms of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum in Pietermaritzburg The shells form a bright and shiny mass that makes a satisfying almost metallic sound when you run your fingers through them The entire sample weighs 18.7 kg and comprises approximately 16,500 individual shells a species of sea snail native to the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean Money cowries are natural objects – each shell is a trace of an animal’s life. They were also, as their common name suggests, circulated widely as a kind of currency The KwaZulu-Natal Museum specimens were found among the remains of a sunken ship lying at the mouth of the Mzikaba river in what is today South Africa’s Eastern Cape province The remains were long thought to be of the Grosvenor, wrecked in 1782. But in the early 1980s they were identified as the wreck of the São Bento The São Bento sailed from Portugal to India in 1553 where it loaded a new cargo to take on its journey homeward It departed from the port of Cochin in February 1554 with goods destined for trade into Europe and West Africa The ship encountered rough and stormy conditions and was probably too heavily laden – greed and risk played a significant role in the Portuguese trading venture By April the São Bento was struggling around the south-eastern corner of Africa It drifted onto a reef-and-island cluster adjacent to the shoreline and broke up in the rough surf It would be centuries before the wreck was investigated; in the late 1960s divers formed an amateur salvage and research group to explore what remained Numerous items were accessioned into the KwaZulu-Natal Museum’s archaeology collection including beach finds such as ceramic sherds and carnelian beads and bronze cannons recovered from beyond the reef The cache of money cowries was found during conservation work in the deepest recesses of the barrel of one of the cannons The shells were packed tightly into the barrel They probably represent a small (possibly pilfered) fraction of a much larger shipment that would have been swept away by the current after the accident Their presence, as I have outlined in my research unavoidably dark story about the West African slave trade at least some small part of this history may become more tangible Money cowries were used for thousands of years as currency across the Indo-Pacific world, but introduced into Atlantic commercial networks relatively late. The Maldives was a major source, with its large-scale, sustainable money cowrie industry In the 1550s cowries were still a relatively new commodity for Europeans and they were destined primarily for trade with West Africa The Atlantic market picked up swiftly and billions of money cowries from the Indian Ocean were shipped to the Bight of Benin on the West African coast between the 16th and 19th centuries Cowries were exchanged directly for slaves throughout all centuries of the sea-borne trade of slaves out of West Africa. Nigerian archaeologist, anthropologist and historian Akinwumi Ogundiran describes this trade in terms of a “human-cowry conversion” but at a possible rate of around 6 kg of cowries (5000–6000 shells) for one slave the São Bento cache could have been used to purchase three slaves The São Bento cowries had another intimate association with slaves: according to the report by survivor and chronicler Manuel de Mesquita Perestrelo slaves made up around two-thirds of the ship’s 470 passengers This mention is intriguing because little is known of the transport of slaves around the southern tip of Africa in the 16th century The Indian Ocean slave trade is far older than the Atlantic system Early Portuguese shipwrecks with oriental cargoes like the São Bento could contribute to our understanding of this deeper history of slavery and the relationship between the two ocean worlds More research might determine where the São Bento slaves came from and even what it meant to be a slave in this context Whatever the specific situation for the São Bento slaves the sinking of the ship might have opened other options up for them Ultimately only 23 people were rescued by a Portuguese ivory-trading vessel at the end of a gruelling 800 km walk from the wreck site to Delagoa Bay on the southeast coast of Mozambique the entanglement between slaves and cowries was so fundamental that the São Bento still effected a kind of human-cowrie conversion: three surviving slaves shipped out of Delagoa Bay half a year after the accident for three slaves’ worth of salvaged cowries bequeathed to a museum over four centuries later There’s another kind of entanglement at play, too. Cowries were not just currency: they began to serve as a raw material in West Africa for making art. Among the Yoruba, Ori shrines which facilitate the realisation of self-hood came to be constructed from large numbers of cowries. Even in this re-purposed context, the confluence with Ori bound cowries to a person’s destiny. Now as museum objects in South Africa, the brightness of the São Bento cowries in their boxes seems at odds with the heaviness they carry from their historical association with human slavery. This unsettling lightness is amplified by the sinister elusiveness of the specifics of this story, reminiscent of histories of slavery more generally. Irrecoverable, hidden, unspoken, and yet such a vast legacy.

The project proposes the construction of a new building for the International Contemporary Sculpture Museum (MIEC), and the renovation of São Bento Monastery, which houses the Abade Pedrosa Municipal Museum (MMAP). The punctual connection between the two buildings is merely functional, and they both remain independent in form and language. The objective is to provide access to the two museums through the new building, with a shared entrance and customer service area. The adopted scheme is enhanced by the museum’s functional organization. From the main entrance, across from the old museum, visitors reach a lobby connecting the Abade Pedrosa Municipal Museum with the reception area and vertical accesses.
