Very nice coffee and hot chocolate and we had delicious home made pastries. Prompt and friendly service. 1 hot chocolate, 1 coffee 2 pasta de natas only 7€. Not touristy. Able to park on the street outside. Very unusual in Silves!

Excellent food, good value and very kind owner and staff. Been meaning to go here for quite awhile as we live 10 minutes away. Now that we finally made it I have no doubt we will be back many times!

If I could give this wonderful bistro 10 stars, I would. Our lunch was a standout meal for us in Portugal. From the delectable garlic shrimp to savory beef, we were in heaven. Silves, watch out! This creative chef and his talented baker (and wife) are going places. We are sure to follow them!

Great little bakery and coffee shop, with excellent sandwiches. We loved the Club Sandwich and the BBQ burger. We also picked up some nice fresh bread. Super friendly staff, worth the wait.
