O Guarany

In Portuguese and Spanish below

Founded in 1933, the Guarany Café, better known as the “musician’s café”, stands out for having a very special atmosphere, result of the commitment between the tradition, the quality service and the artistic spirit which from early marked its existence. This was always a space of gathering and culture. After an improvement that occurred in 2003, Guarany offers a singular space, where the organization of events remains constant. Café Guarany is a restaurant and a historical café, located in Aliados Avenue, in downtown Oporto, Portugal. 

Integrated in an outbreak opening of cafes in Oporto in the middle of 1930, in January 29th 1933, Café Guarany opened, as a project of the architect Rogério Azevedo, with decoration of the sculptor Henrique Moreira. One of the walls now shows paintings of Graça Morais. The decoration reminds guarany Indians of Southern America and its tropical invocation is allusive to Brazil of the 20th century as the first coffee producer.
