The Bira dos Namorados Restaurant opened in 2014, at the hands of Diogo Carvalho, from Famalicão, and Mariana Marques, from Porto, who met at the university and found themselves without work when they finished their studies. With the hamburgers market growing in Lisbon, they decided to open theirs in Braga, and it was at this time that the two were called to work, Diogo at IPDJ, and Mariana at SONAE. Mariana accepted the challenge, and Diogo continued to work in the business where, today, they are two hundred percent, and have already expanded to Porto.
An artisan hamburger that seeks to differentiate itself by concept, service and quality. It should be noted that all products are fresh, delivered on the day and come from local producers.
