Hungry Biker

Miragaia


If you – like the husband and wife owners – love to ride your bicycle, this place is a winner. The artsy cafe has an environmentally friendly ethos, decked out with furniture fashioned from reclaimed wooden pallets and old doors. Go for luxe breakfasts, brunches (superfood toasts, homemade waffles…) or a vitamin-packed smoothie. Bike rental costs €4/11 per half-/full day.
