Café Majestic is an historic café,[1] located at Rua de Santa Catarina, in Porto, Portugal.

The building is from the Art Nouveau period, reminiscent of Parisian cafés at the time.[2][3]

Café interior.

History

The cafe originally opened in 1922.[4] It was designed to look like a Parisian cafe in the Art Nouveau style by the architect José Pinto de Oliveira. It was originally an exclusive and upmarket cafe that acted as a place for the elitist members of society to meet.

Present day

The café went through decades of decline, until it was considered a building of national historical interest in 1983.[5] After major restoration works, it reopened in July 1994 in the original Belle Époque style. Since the 1980s it has become iconic in Porto and is a popular destination in the city.[6][7][8]
