MANA

The metro has arrived in Cascais. The station is on the lower level of the new MANA restaurant and was designed by urban artist Francisco Camilo – the same artist who graffitied the bathrooms, populated the walls with people and created a portrait of a woman at the entrance. Complete with sunglasses and a rebellious look, she was the inspiration for the restaurant’s name, MANA. “She represents a strong, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants and won’t let anyone mess with her – hence our signature: the neighbourhood scoundrel,” says Luís Tarouca, one of the owners who also owned the Taberna Clandestina and Cantiga Clandestina on nearby Rua Amarela.
