Our story is rich and full of meaning, spanning several decades. The establishment's origins are linked to two twin buildings, belonging to Adelino Cabral de Melo and his son, Alberto. Alberto attempted to create a modern café but faced local resistance. The first gasoline tank of the parish, belonging to Adelino "Frade", was installed here. Avelino Teves, after returning from the USA, acquired the third building, transforming it into a grocery store and tavern.


Carlos de Sousa acquired the establishment in the 1960s, adapting a small space to serve improvised meals. He also worked as a photographer, specializing in identification documents. In November of 1983, the building was sold to António Cardoso, who transformed the grocery store into a dining room and expanded the covered space at the back of the property. The restaurant known today was established by him, marking an important chapter in the history of Casa de Pasto O Cardoso.
The exuberant and extroverted personality of António Cardoso turned his commercial establishment (bar, café, and restaurant) into the daily meeting point for men and boys from the area. He replaced Carlos de Sousa as the common host of almost everyone who had some free time to socialize, play cards, and know the "news". His frequent laughter could be heard far away. Bob, the son, is amplifying what he has been given.
