Chocolataria das Flores

Ribeira


This enticingly cosy hole-in-the-wall cafe rustles up light bites such as quiches and salads, but really they are just the prelude to the main act: dessert. Come for the homemade chocolates, cakes, tarts, cookies, and hot chocolate so thick you can stand a spoon in it. Brunch will set you back a modest €10.
