In the book [TASCAS], thirty authors pay tribute to the tasca, a popular and affordable restaurant typology, essential to Lisbon's local culture. Through photographs, texts, and graphic essays, we revisit the last five decades, where historically coal-stores evolved to taverns, cellars to eateries, and grocery stores to the tascas, which still play a central role in our daily urban experience.

Lisbon's Tascas is a collaborative project that, through different angles, disciplines, and aesthetics, dismisses simplified generalizations about this commensality heritage. We are in Lisbon, but no matter where we are from, there are familiar affections that make us feel at home.
