Mercearia do Miguel

Foz do Douro


A bright, retro-cool cafe in a born-again 1950s grocery store by the seafront, the Mercearia do Miguel is a wholly inviting choice for a healthy breakfast (try the açai bowl with homemade granola), a detox juice, great coffee and cake, or lunches ranging from gourmet salads to bruschetti, sandwiches and petiscos (tapas). Head for the patio when the sun’s out.
