Veneza Garrafeira and Restaurant

Über uns:

The Veneza Restaurant opened in 1983, but it all started in 1954. It was in this year that grandfather Manel opened the grocery store, which was also a coffee shop.

Dried fruit as well as building materials were sold in the same space. A typical 50’s-60’s style store.

In May 1970 the dance hall Dancing Veneza was inaugurated. In the hall where today stands our wine cellar, the Italian city was invoked with decorations of gondolas and of Mona Lisa style wall paintings.

Live performances were held here on Saturdays, where bands and singers such as Badaró, Vitor Espadinha, Joel Branco, Bric à Brac, António Variações performed.
