Top choice in Peniche
Connoisseurs of the cocktail will want to burrow themselves into the palette lounges at this in-the-know bar tucked away inside a residential complex – it's easily Peniche's best for creative mixology. Pair a sunset perch on the grassy lawn in front with refreshing cocktails such as Gin Garden (gin, lemon, mint, soda) mixed to perfection.
DJ's spin funk and house on weekends and there's Taco Tuesday with carnitas (braised pork) tacos, pulled pork sliders and vegie bowls.
