Petite épicerie où l'on peut boire un café (oui...oui!) excellent d'ailleurs et réaliser de petites courses, les fruits et légumes proposés proviennent de la région pour un coût plus que raisonnable. L'endroit et de plus très calme.

Chegámos fora de horas, mas fomos bem recebidos com simpatia e atenção. Comida tradicional, bem confecionada, doses bem servidas, aconselho o bacalhau desfiado com migas, preço justo.

Espaço muito agradável, impecavelmente higienizado, atendimento muito cuidado e dedicado a cada cliente. Oportunidade de saborear autênticos manjares dos deuses, e até com a possibilidade de takeaway. Capricha na singularidade, na apresentação e é surpreendente na qualidade que nos oferece! Recomendo, recomendo... Recomendo!!!
