Tiny place with limited seating, but fantastic bifana and super friendly owner. Good place to mingle with the locals. Ideal hole in the wall place for an inexpensive snack. Convenient to the bus station. Grab a snack while you wait for your bus.

Hidden gem! You know somewhere is great when the locals rave about it! Bifanas are the best I’ve ever tasted. You need to give it a go to see what the fuss is about!

This is a fantastic little cafe bar serving cold beer, a wide range of drinks and great bifanas. Stop by when you're in the area, for a warm welcome from Hugo. You will not be disappointed.
