The lunch menu includes salads, toasties, pasta etc. They boast a wide selection of flavoured teas, fruit juices and coffees. At 5 euros for two coffee and two cakes, you cant beat it on price or variety. This is the type of place you can spend a good few hours sipping a coffee and watching the world go by.

He allowed us to sample many flavors before we made our choices, which was difficult because the flavors were all so good. For me, the standouts were the Nata Goiaba, Mousse de Maracuja, Frutta do Bosco, and the Jamaica. I wish we had enough time left in our trip to return!

I only had one meal in Vilamoura that was as good as this, and that was at it's sister business just behind the Marina. Highly recommended for lunch or pastries.

They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option. I would recommend one of the regional pastries such as fruta de Algarve, which are similar to soft marzipan with a thick egg yolk and sugar mixture in the middle. It's not like marzipan in the States and a lot softer and has a better texture and flavor. The other would be the Dom Rodrigo, which comes in a little colorful foil packet. It's an egg yolk and sugar mixture that is in thin strings layered on top of each other and swimming in a simple syrup. It might be too sweet for some.

We are a family of 5 - 3 adults and 2 kids under 10, and the staff was super attentive and friendly. They did a great job communicating with us considering we all spoke English. It was a treat that the menu came in Portuguese, French and English It is a beautiful shop, and in addition to the food looking like a work of art - it tasted delicious! Everything was super fresh and uncomplicated/unprocessed. For breakfast we tried some spiked coffee and fresh juices. The adults ordered Eggs Benedict with parma ham or smoked salmon. The kids got a "make your own breakfast" of yogurt with granola and fresh fruit, and a croissant with a chocolate spread. We also got pastries to go for dessert later; a beetroot cream filled roll, fruit and custard pastry, lemon bar, cookie, and the lightest whipped cheesecake I've ever tasted. The only downside to the whole experience is that they are closed on Tuesdays (which really isn't a downside, people do deserve a day off)

Honestly, we initially chose this restaurant mainly because the bathrooms were wheelchair accessible (my mom has trouble walking). The waitress was so nice and helpful that we decided to eat there for lunch. It wasn't busy because we were there during the low season but even so there was plenty of (shaded and sheltered) seating available. Sitting in a bit of shade, in a light breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, we had a very enjoyable lunch consisting of shrimp in garlic and a pizza di Campo (thin crust, salami, onion, mushroom and pesto). It took about 20ish minutes for the food to come out but when you are sitting on a comfortable sunlit terrace, in an old Portuguese town, watching people stroll by on the cobblestone streets, with the dim sounds of the ocean waves breaking in the background, you tend not to be in a hurry. Our food was pretty good, better than I would have expected from a restaurant we kind of randomly chose. They offer a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas. The desert menu also looked very enticing and they apparently make their own gelato. Unfortunately, we were too full to try it. Solid four stars, maybe even five stars, if the gelato lives up to its promise in the future. We would definitely consider coming back!

Check it out - it's a great place to stop for a break while you're browsing the many shops in the area.
