History
.JPG)
The cafe first opened on 17 March 1907, the franchise of the already existing cafés named the Brazilian by Adolpho de Azevedo, a Portuense merchant and Vice-Counsel to Brazil.[1][2] This new incarnation of the popular cafe opened on the corner of the Largo do Barão de São Martinho and Rua de São Marcos, and included not just coffee beans, but also fine wines bottled by the Parceria Vinícola dos Lavradores do Douro (Farmer's Winery Partnership of the Douro).[1][2] In order to attract clients to his wholesale coffee-shop, Azevedo continued the tradition started in the A Brasileira of Lisbon, and offered with the purchase of a half kilogram of coffee beans, a cup of coffee.[1][2]
Adolpho de Azevedo ran the establishment for 30 years, until it was acquired by Joaquim Queirós in 1937, who continued to operate the establishment for another four decades.[2] Queirós maintained and then integrated the neighboring coffeehouse (Café Sport) located in the lower part of the café into A Brasileira.[2]
During the Estado Novo era (lasting from 1933 to 1974), a rival café, called Nova Brasileira opened on the opposite corner of the coffee-house.[2] It was during this time that A Brasileira became the centre of anti-Salazarist opposition to the regime, and the Nova Brasileira was visited by those loyal to the regime.[2]
In 1997, the cafe came into the possession of Joaquim Domingos Godinho, who operated the establishement until 2004, when Armindo Pinheiro and his sons became property-owners.[2]
In 2009, the cafe was reopened following extensive remodelling began in September 2008, under the auspices of ASAE Autoridade para a Segurança Alimentar e Económica; the renovation involved kitchen's spaces, and required replacement of the old wood beams for stainless steel.[2]
