Bixos

Food and Drinks Avenida Emidio Navarro, 45 Coimbra, Portugal 2021
BIXOS is the name of the bar and restaurant at ZERO Box Lodge in Coimbra.
The inspiration comes from the whole animal universe that seems to surround the city – from the official symbols to the famous storybook by Miguel Torga, a student from Coimbra, the student slang of the city that calls animals to high school students, the fact of the clock of the University being the “Goat”, the legends and traditions, the fox in the tiles of the examination room or the bat colonies that inhabit Biblioteca Joanina.
To enrich this imagery, you can also find in BIXOS some giraffes or a giant red elephant that the artist Leonel Moura created for the space.
With a tropical decoration, facing Mondego river, this is the social space of Mainside’s housing project in the student’s city.
The menu features a low carb pizza that is a “pinsa”, that surely will become a tradition, and a gin and tonic that after all is a “Bixo Tonic”. Concerts and other cultural programming will keep this new Coimbra spot lively.
