Solis

Chefs Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng’s new restaurant Solis is now open inside Arcade Food Hall & Bar.

Named after Juan Díaz de Solis, a 16th-century explorer said to have been the first European to land on what is now modern day Uruguay, Solis is a chicken and steak grill, with flavour influences from both sides of the voyage, including Spain, Portugal, Uruguay and Argentina.

“Solis is a very personal restaurant for me. I wanted to create a place for everyone, that serves the type of food I have experienced since I was little; very simple, but full of flavour and approachable. We want Solis to be a place everyone feels at home – somewhere unfussy and warm that serves the sort of food you want to eat over and over again.” Ana Gonçalves, co-founder.
