The History of Manuel Tavares begins in the distant year of 1860, already at that time dedicated to the commerce of gastronomic and wine products. Since then it has been part of the city of Lisbon, on the small Rua da Betesga, between Rossio and Praça da Figueira, being one of the most prestigious national historical stores due to the service provided and the excellence of gourmet products and wine selection.
