Since the first café
Portuguese, with one address abroad
It began with a passion for food and travel. Exploring different culinary cultures gave us ideas we wanted to bring back to Lisbon, at a moment when the city was just starting to take brunch seriously.
In 2018 we opened Cotidiano in Chiado, one of the first open-kitchen brunch cafés in Lisbon. It was meant to be a welcoming, relaxed room. It quickly became a reference.

How it happened
-
2020
During the pandemic we launched Ordinário, an irreverent concept built on American street food and urban culture. It runs mostly through pop-ups while new ideas take shape.
-
2021
We left Lisbon and got into hospitality with Mute – Porto Covo: a laid-back coastal house for travellers who want simplicity, comfort and the Alentejo coast outside the door.
-
2022
We created Slang, combining the spirit of Cotidiano with bolder influences and a focus on Portuguese cooking, near Marquês de Pombal.
-
2023
Cotidiano arrived at Praça do Comércio, bringing a Nordic-inspired room and a terrace to one of the most photographed squares in Lisbon.
-
2024
Mute grew into Vila Nova de Milfontes, taking over the former Selina building and reimagining it as a coastal retreat for digital nomads, surfers and anyone exploring the southwest coast.
-
2024
We entered international franchising with Oakberry Açaí on Madeira — one of the world's biggest açaí brands, present in dozens of countries.
-
2025
A second Oakberry opened at Shopping Anadia in Funchal, strengthening the brand on the island and widening our franchising operation.
-
2025
Marquês de Pombal became a Cotidiano, mixing the warmth of Chiado with the restraint of Praça do Comércio for the people who work in the neighbourhood.
-
2026
Cotidiano leaves Portugal: the first café outside the country opens in Amsterdam, taking the open kitchen, the coffee and the unhurried pace with it.
3 brands, 8 addresses, one way of working: great food, great energy and amazing people.
