After a long train ride to the seaside city of Lagos, our party of five was hungry for lunch. At…read morearound 1pm on a Wednesday, this tiny, charming cafe was almost packed, but we managed to snag a cramped table near the pastry case. The restaurant exterior is adorned with a striped awning and pastel-colored outdoor seating, with a quaint chalkboard listing the day's specials. Inside, the space is small but welcoming, with booths and metal chairs. You can either order pastries/coffee up at the front counter, or sit down and order from their menu, which they have in multiple languages! The menu spans your typical breakfast/brunch fare, including shareable platters, pastries, yogurt, eggs, and more. Two members of our party opted for the Mango and Banana Smoothie (€5), while another chose the Mango and Strawberry Smoothie (€5). While these smoothies weren't particularly large, the freshness apparently justified the rather high price - we saw them using real berries, and not powders and concentrates like some places use in the United States. For entrees, two people chose the Smoked Salmon Toast (€11,50), which comes with fresh cold-smoked salmon atop brown bread with white cheese, spinach, and tomato. My friends enjoyed the fresh, crusty bread, as well as the richness of the cheese and the fresh produce! Additionally, another friend opted for the Smoked Salmon Crepe (€12,50), which is salmon atop a thin crepe with smashed avocado, feta cheese, tomato, and a tangy yogurt sauce. She enjoyed the combination of flavors, and it was a large portion that came with a generous salad on the side! I went with the S&T Salad (€11,95), which comes with chicken breast, shrimp, fresh fruit and vegetables, walnuts, and a garlicky mayo dressing (like a tangy aioli). I was surprised at the quality and freshness of the produce in the salad, as well as the generous portion of proteins. Additionally, the walnuts added a nice crunch and richness, and the dressing (which came on the side, as I'd requested) gave the salad a nice zing. Overall, this was a great find in Lagos, with tourists and locals alike enjoying pastries and lunch on a rainy day. The portions are filling, the ingredients are fresh, service is quick and speaks good English, and prices are more than reasonable. I would be more than willing to return to sample some of their other options!

The restaurant is indeed both a restaurant and a cafetaria and also has a wide range of wines. Two of us had the entrecote which was delicious and tender, one had the cod, which was tasty and fresh and a bit oily (i guess this is the Portuguese way of eating it) and one had a salad with chicken. As a dessert we all had the fig/chocolate cake. A really heavy cake/desert but i've never tasted anything like this before and was curious about the famous Portuguese cakes/tarts ;) The waiter was very awkward and not very friendly, he seemed very young.

Their…read moremenu has a lot of options for people and they have A LOT of desserts and regional ones as well. The service is fast and you have to pay inside after you ask for your bill. They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option. I would recommend one of the regional pastries such as fruta de Algarve, which are similar to soft marzipan with a thick egg yolk and sugar mixture in the middle. It's not like marzipan in the States and a lot softer and has a better texture and flavor. The other would be the Dom Rodrigo, which comes in a little colorful foil packet. It's an egg yolk and sugar mixture that is in thin strings layered on top of each other and swimming in a simple syrup. It might be too sweet for some.

We started with the family lemonade which was so refreshing and had lots of fresh citrus in it. We felt like we were at a family dinner here with how welcoming it was. We got the Sevilla style squid which was ok, the piri piri helped add flavor. The prawns were plump and flavorful in a nice sauce that we used our garlic bread to sop up the flavors. The sea bream was such a nice and light flavor. Crisp on the outside but soft and meaty inside with fries nicely seasoned and cooked. It's off the beaten path a bit on a side street but still central to town.

As we entered the building, it was tastefully decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with warm smiles from staff and a woman behind the counter telling us she makes all of her desserts homemade! Each and every dessert looked absolutely fantastic! They were very close to closing for the night but she allowed us to stay to experience that homemade taste. The 6 of us each ordered something different and we all agreed, they were absolutely delicious!! We were never pressured to leave or eat quickly and enjoyed our dessert and drinks with no rush or pressure from the staff. The woman came to our table and asked for feedback and we chatted with her for close to 15 minutes! Chicca is an absolute gem and her desserts are absolutely amazing! Her dinning menu is something we will come back and enjoy. We would all highly recommend this place.
