Completely renovated and relaunched in 2018, this cute and quaint cafe deals in easygoing Portuguese mains and pancakes along with rare books – the walls offer limited stacks of titles for sale that give an aura of intellectual enlightenment to the charming space. Brunch (€12.50 to €15.50) is served as well.
