Meet Your Hosts

Sofia and Rui
Founders

It all started with an idea! Coming from Gaia and Viseu, we arrived in Lisbon with the certainty that our roots would prevail in our lives!
With a crazy pace of life, day after day we missed our essence... friends, food, the art of welcoming! One day the idea of ​​opening a Maria Palato came up... a space where we can showcase quality Portuguese products and where we welcome and talk to people from all over the world!
