Speaking of sustenance, the café’s culinary highlight mentioned by guests is the Empalhada, but a standout experience from a recent visitor was their take on the classic francesinha, served thinly sliced (“trinchada”) and brimming with satisfying, layered flavors. This dish, rich and savory, beautifully balances the juiciness of the fillings with the melty cheese and tangy sauce, leaving a lasting impression that perfectly complements the laid-back ambiance of the spot.
