OUR VENUES

Who we are

Vida Plena is a young hospitality group born in the city of Lisbon in 2018.

Our journey began when we fell in love with a captivating street corner in the heart of the Caís do Sodré neighborhood. At that time, Lisbon lacked a lively all-day café, leading to the birth of our first venue, Café Janis. This spot quickly became a favorite for both locals and travelers, serving as a go-to place for early coffee, delectable lunch, or late drinks.

Today, our group boasts 13 restaurants, all situated in Lisbon, each echoing our dedication to the pillars of hospitality: a warm and blissful experience, a diverse and inclusive crowd, fresh and delicious food, and a caring team and service.

Respect, kindness, ambition and modernity are at the core of our hiring values as well as having loads of fun throughout the journey ! We commit to spreading those principles, good energy, positivism and happiness to our community, guests, employees, suppliers and partners.

We never take anything too seriously, we just want to enjoy what’s best in life – good food, good time in good company all in an environment of respect and love. As we look to the future, our vision is to keep expanding, bringing more exciting and successful projects to life. And remember, pets are always welcome at Vida Plena!
