Landeau

Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré


The Portuguese love to self-proclaim their product to be the best this or the best that in the world, but this don't-miss cafe puts its chocolate where its mouth is, serving up as flawless a piece of chocolate cake as you'll ever encounter.

Sofia Landeau's version was so popular at the restaurant she previously worked at that she had to go and open her own place dedicated solely to this wondrously gooey, perfectly moist, just-sweet-enough piece of chocolate perfection.
