It already existed in Rio de Janeiro and opened in March 2024 right in the center of Cascais. Designed by Brazilian chef Nelson Soares, it focuses on Italian cuisine, mainly inspired by transalpine influences, but with a concept influenced by Nordic minimalism, where each dish has, at most, five basic ingredients. In Rio de Janeiro, the kitchen is completely open. There, as they couldn't tear down the structural wall separating the kitchen from the dining area, they opted for a differentiating solution: they have a triangular table at the kitchen's entrance where they finish preparing and plating all dishes, in full view of the customers. Sult also offers an extensive wine list, with many references from small producers.

They host DJ sets every week and promote a relaxed atmosphere, while still providing attentive and personalized service to customers.
