Café do Comércio

Ribeira


Slip down a side street away from the crowds and you'll find this cute cubbyhole of a cafe, with quirky leaf etchings on the wall and just a handful of modern bistro-style tables. The menu is sweet 'n' simple, with excellent breakfasts (try the homemade muesli), great cakes and coffee, pancakes, toasties and always a vegan option or two.
