What comes to mind when you think of a good cup of coffee? For many in Porto, the answer lies right here at Mural Café Sical. This isn’t just any café. It’s a living testament to the enduring love affair between Porto and its coffee. Mural Café Sical opened its doors in 1963. It quickly became an iconic spot thanks to its dedication to quality coffee. Vicente Ferreira Peres, the founder, had a vision of a place where people could gather and socialize over a shared love of coffee. He believed that “a man who didn’t like to drink coffee alone”. That vision is alive and well today. Look around. Notice the magnificent ceramic panels that adorn the café walls? Those are the works of renowned Portuguese artist Júlio Resende. They depict the coffee cycle, a fitting tribute to the heart of Mural Café Sical. But the real star here is the coffee. It’s still made with the same passion and dedication that Vicente Ferreira Peres poured into his original vision. Mural Café Sical exclusively serves its own brand of coffee, ensuring every cup reflects decades of tradition. So take a sip, soak in the ambiance, and experience a taste of Porto’s enduring coffee culture.
