Many visitors praise the generous portions and high-quality ingredients found in popular dishes like the seafood soup, Portuguese breakfast, and delicious crepes, while the pastel de nata is frequently noted as an absolute must-try. The café offers a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a home away from home, complemented by a friendly and attentive staff.

Absolutely delightful. Atmosphere is great. Service was great & food was good. I opted for the portguese breakfast & we split pastel de nata (comes in 4) . The pastel de nata were mindblowingly good. Make sure you sprinkle some cinnamon.

Les pastéis de nata sont vraiment bonnes! Le chocolat chaud aussi est délicieux, moi qui n'est généralement pas fan des chocolats chauds, je l'ai adoré. Un coup de coeur inattendu!

Quite literally the most amazing food I have had in a while. Very cheap, very friendly staff shoutout my boy Pablo. Not to mention all the staff are incredibly sty. If u need outfit advice & the best food go here. Sidenote: I litterally saw the staff almost prevent a car accident & save a child & then return to work 1.3 seconds later. These people are as goated as the food

Just walking by this place, customers on the terrasse started pointing & laughing at me, because I am'too old to live here or even walk outside' this is all about the'young adults' so basically anyone is considered content so expect to be filmed & laughed at.

The restaurant had a really nice ambiance, & we didn't wait too long for a table. The food was tasty, but unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our server was kind, but she forgot to place our order, & we waited about 40 minutes before reminding her. After that, it took another 15 minutes for the food to arrive. She also mentioned she would replace a piece of bread that was dropped, but it never came.
We were offered a glass of orange juice as compensation, which was appreciated. Overall, I liked the ambiance & food, but I probably wouldn't come back because of the service experience.
