The Fifties, American restaurant in Parque das Nações, Portugal.
The Fifties is an American-style diner in Parque das Nações, Lisbon, decorated with checkered floors, neon lights, and objects from the 1950s. Full-size automobiles from that era are parked inside the dining area, and the restaurant also has outdoor seating.
The restaurant opened in Parque das Nações, a neighborhood built on former industrial land along the Tagus for the 1998 World Exposition. After the expo closed, the area gradually became a leisure and residential district on Lisbon's eastern edge.
At The Fifties, guests can experience American diner culture through jukebox music and dancers in period costumes who perform during the evening. The mix of food and live entertainment turns a meal into a show.
The restaurant sits within the Parque das Nações, which is easy to walk around thanks to its open layout and clear paths. A reservation is recommended, especially on weekends or when evening entertainment is scheduled.
The cars displayed inside the restaurant are not replicas but original vehicles from 1950s America. They take up enough floor space that the tables are arranged around them, giving the feeling of eating in a period parking lot.
