Delicious toast, even better coffee! Amazing views and service!
We visited this cafe on our day trip to Burgau. The coffee was the tastiest coffee I have ever had in Portugal, I even commented about the coffee to the two ladies that were running the Cafe that day. The toast was beautifully done to perfection. The two ladies running the cafe had exceptional customer service and their friendliness was impeccable. I would rate this cafe/restaurant % and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing spot with sea view and lovely service. Good food and drinks, non alcoholic cocktails. Next to parking and the beach. Payment only with cash.
If you are in Burgau try this place for light lunch or a drink friendly staff nice view spotlessly clean nice food
Everything was perfect! We came yesterday and today, everytime a good moment and a very lovely owner ;-)
Delicious breakfast! They have their own bakery and many options to choose from. The view is amazing, we came at 9:15am and were almost alone as everyone arrives around 10am. The service was great! Only thing to note is that you can only pay in cash, there are ATMs in the town tho (we also had to pay in cash in all other places in Burgau)
