The birth of Padaria Do Beco in Lisbon
Do Beco’s journey began with the passion of its founder, António Mello, who is a former tech worker from London with a profound love for gastronomy. After gaining experience in high-end restaurants, including the world-renowned Central in Peru, Mello returned to Lisbon. Initially hosting private dinners, his venture took a turn during the pandemic towards bread-making which layed the foundation for Do Beco Lisbon. Together with Diego Haupenthal, who designs the pastry menu and also offers workshops, Padaria Do Beco was able to grow very fast.
