Enjoyed breakfast at this spot which has indoor and outdoor seating. An elderly woman in kitchen surprised me with her English and recommended a delicious meatless tomato and cheese sandwich with chips, just what I needed. A steal at just 5€, and the staff's generosity was a bonus. Coffee was so-so, though, not a standout. Alochol served right from the morning.

Respeito pelo cliente, pelo espaço, comida de qualidade e atendimento atencioso e rápido..... A qualidade dos produtos expostos e a limpeza sempre de nível elevado.....
