Luzzi, the rooftop restaurant at Andaz Lisbon, has been awarded the Rooftop category at the 2026 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards. Selected from more than 1,100 entries submitted for this year’s edition, Luzzi was recognised for the strength and coherence of its design concept and its distinctive reinterpretation of Portuguese multiculturalism. The project brings together architecture, interiors, gastronomy and music to create a rooftop experience rooted in Lisbon.
Designed by Studio Patricia Urquiola in collaboration with Lisbon-based Morschel Arquitectos, Luzzi draws on Portugal’s connections with Africa, the Atlantic, South America and Asia. Its visual language translates these diverse cultural references through colour, material and texture. Yellows evoke African connections and the energy of the South, greens and blues reference the Atlantic and Portugal’s relationship with the sea, while terracotta and clay tones recall the earth, traditional architecture and the historic routes of the East. Materials including Lioz limestone, cork, reinterpreted tiles, local woods and ceramics are combined with global references.
Luzzi’s design is closely connected to its culinary concept, Modern Lusitanian Cuisine, which explores Portugal’s global cultural connections through food. The menu draws on Portuguese traditions alongside influences from Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Angola, Goa, Macau and Japan. The restaurant’s rooftop setting shapes the experience, with an open layout designed to evolve throughout the day, moving from late-afternoon dining into an evening destination for food, drinks, music and socialising.
Cajetan Araujo shared “Winning the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2026 reinforces Luzzi’s position as one of Lisbon’s most distinctive dining destinations. More importantly, the award recognizes the project’s unique spatial identity and its bold reimagining of the rooftop experience, transforming it into one of Lisbon’s most compelling lifestyle venues.”
