This is my favorite pastry shop in Coimbra. I wish I could say try this or that - but actually you…read moreneed to try everything so go hungry! I go for the sweet side of the counter but the mini quiche and onion-shaped breaded chicken are fabulous. They have two huge spaces to sit in as well as room outside on sunny days. It's a great place for an expresso stop, lunch treat or to sit and study or read.

E volto a dizer os empregados simpáticos.

HUGE place with a fantastic outdoor area…read more Very nice craft beer - their imperial stout recently won gold medal at world championship! Unfortunately, because of demand, it, wasn't available at the restaurant when we visited. We got a 7 beer flight to try a variety and I then settled on a larger pour of my fav - Ambar. We weren't hungry for a meal but ordered two snacks plus bread from their snack menu. And holy hotwheels, they were huge portions. Our selections were 1) grilled, salted peppers and 2) pica-pau (the pork version). It was literally enough food for full meals for 4 people IMO! And what is pica-pau you ask (it translates to woodpecker)? Well, in my book, it's pica-WOW! Cubes of pork adorned with some carrots, cauliflower, olives and parsley swim in a totally amazing sauce that we sopped up with the bread. We asked our server about the sauce and understood it was butter, chicken broth, white wine, lemon, garlic. Service was a little scattered. I think our original server left at shift time so we then ended up with a couple others pinch hitting. The scattered service along with no soap in either men's or women's restrooms = automatic star deduction.

Amazing spot for coffee and ice cream. I stopped by twice in one day! That shows how much I loved…read moreit! First stop was for a cappuccino topped with cocoa powder which hit the spot. Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!
