A few years ago, ‘House of Wonders’ opened a café/gallery with a lovely roof terrace in a 4-floor building, now a popular hang out place in Cascais. In the same building there´s a restaurant offering delicious Middle- Eastern and Mediterranean vegetarian cuisine.
Terrace House of Wonders Restaurant in Cascais: Middle- Eastern vegetarian dishes
Syran cook
The delicious Middle- Eastern vegetarian dishes are prepared by a cook originally from Syria. “I really love it to work in Restaurant ‘House of Wonders’ and to prepare the Middle Eastern dishes, including all the ingredients for a healthy lifestyle”. The Syrian cooking tradition is one of the oldest of the world. Dishes are full of hearty flavors and aromatic spices.
For only € 10 each, you can chose what you like to eat in the first vegetarian restaurant in Cascais.

Syrian refugees, the Civil War & Cascais
There are 2 chefs de cuisine: Miguel (mediterranean food) and a Syrian refugee. His story is a very sad one: “I worked for an American company in Damascus. In 2010 the building was blown up by a missile. And then one day a Pickup car stopped outside our house, suddenly there was a machine- gun fire. I could rescue my wife and children, but my mother was killed…..”
“Then I realized I had to leave my country as soon as possible. Fortunately, I had some cash, and also gold jewelry. I found someone who brought us to Jordan. There, while waiting for better times to return to Syria, I got the chance to leave Jordan, and now I ended up in Portugal, in Cascais. The people here are very nice to us!”
