We spent a relaxing time having traditional sweets, S. Gonçalos and Brisas do Tâmega, with rich coffee. They were amazing!! It’s just a little bit high price but it is valuable. In addition, you can have snacks and beer. The lady is so kind and helpful. Though we didn’t speak Portuguese, she served so sincerely. And this cafe has large windows and terrace. The view from the terrace made us release stress. Then, the interior is chic. Unexpectedly there are a lot of seats. So you can take seats without waiting. Here is the perfect place for traveller’s short stop.

Beautiful view, wonderful food and lovely people !! read more Beautiful view, wonderful food and lovely people !!
