    • The Mercantel Restaurant is a 50-year-old establishment located at Caisdos Mercantéis in Aveiro.

    Recently, under new management, it was decided to refurbish and adapt this space to a new contemporary reality, giving it a renewed identity that marks the beginning of a new era.

    We chose to create an intimate space, with earthy colors and warm lighting, evoking a sense of relaxation, comfort, and familiarity.

    Two large communal tables and three counters were strategically positioned to encourage sharing and interaction, while individual tables, supported by a large common sofa, allow for greater privacy.
