Marcelino Pão e Vinho

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


What this narrow cafe lacks in space it makes up for in atmosphere, with local artworks on the walls, occasional live music, traditional hats suspended from the ceiling and wine-crate-lined walls. It's a cosy spot for refreshing sangria, and salads, cheeseboards, sandwiches, quiches and tapas, including a fun meat grill flamed up tableside in traditional crockware.
