Hello, the most beautiful cafe in Porto. I'll show you around the romantic cafe in Portugal.

The phrase "Wisdom and beauty coexist" can be clearly explained by posting a picture of Majestic Caf é next to it.

Majestic Caf é, Portugal

Go to the corner of Santa Catarina Street and Manuel Street, Majestic Caf é is a favorite of the locals.

The cafe's eye-catching marble appearance is decorated with beautiful floral elements and tortuous graphics. Inside, the smell of the leather sofa is mixed with the incense of lacquer wood, the light red and gray plaster decorates the ceiling, and the Flemish mirrors on the walls reflect the cherub sculptures and iron chandeliers on the corner lines around them. the combination of marble floor and brass parts, the details of the wall decoration boards are very exquisite, including leather sofa backs are tattooed with patterns. All these constitute gorgeous visual effects, create a comfortable and elegant environment, and become a miracle to stimulate the senses. On the inside is a triangular piano with a sign "Vintage 10", which should refer to the price of a glass of vintage wine.

Behind the cafe is a courtyard, with sculptures of beautiful women guarding the steps and railings, and the trees are thick and quiet. The inner courtyard was built in 1925 and was supervised by architect Pedro Mendes da Silva. The steps are a balcony and small outdoor concerts are held in the summer. There is a door to Manuel Street in the back, and wine can be sold, which also constitutes the richness of the cafe.

The cafe, which first opened on December 17, 1921, was originally called Elite Caf é and was decorated in a new art style, designed by architect Jo ã o Queiroz. The grand occasion of the opening day has become a distant memory of the city. People are coming to the new architectural landscape of Porto to taste something new. Since then, it attracts intellectuals, bohemians and upper-class ladies to come on foot for a cup of afternoon tea or ice cream.

Although it was a successful opening, the name of the elite cafe suggested that the monarchy did not seem to blend well with the chic atmosphere of the Republican Party, the bourgeoisie and Porto at the time. Later, referring to the charming culture of Paris, the family changed its name to "Majestic Caf é", with a magical charm, confirming the charm and brilliance of the "good times".

In the 1960s, Portugal was in a cultural lethargy, and the cafe was in a downturn. The public in Porto is also aware of this degradation. In January 1983, the building was declared a "scenic spot of public concern". Three years later, the city government also hoped to restore its former Sinorama, but years of neglect has made it a dark place. In 1994, after two years of renovation, the original furniture was restored and the interior floor was replaced, the cafe reopened and became the most beautiful cafe in Porto, and this new art-style building became a landmark. it's a meeting place for art people. J.K. Rowling, who has been here for a long time, wrote Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Someone once commented on the cafe-"the majestic Cafe is a wonderful place where muses, thinkers and artists come together and live at the best time, where they share and communicate through words and gestures." or just a smile in the eyes, sometimes even a few tears. " And many people come here, more to recall the distant twenties.
