New cake shop specializing in Portuguese pastries opens in Mainz's historic center

In an exciting turn of events, the Marinho family business, renowned for its delightful Portuguese cuisine, is moving from a food truck to a permanent store in Mainz's old town.

The food truck, which made its debut at last fall's Christmas markets, was the first step towards direct sales for the family business. Previously, they offered a variety of Portuguese products in a showroom in Mommenheim. The success of the food truck, particularly at the Streetfood Festival in Mainz in March, where demand for 'Simply Nata' was immense, paved the way for this new venture.

The new business location, yet to be disclosed, will operate from 10 am to 6 pm, maintaining the family's focus on daily operations. However, there will be no outdoor seating area available. The small trailer, which has been a hit at various events, will continue to be used for corporate parties, weddings, or street food events.

While the food truck will primarily offer take-away options, there will be a change in the alcoholic beverage selection. Alcoholic drinks like Port wine will only be available in bottles to take away, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable dining experience for customers.

The Marinho family business originally had limited opening hours for customer contact in the gastronomy sector for supply. This new permanent store marks a significant shift, opening up more opportunities for the family to share their authentic Portuguese cuisine with the people of Mainz.

Stay tuned for more updates on the new location and opening date of the permanent store. Until then, you can catch the food truck at various events around the city.
