We were wondering around luso looking for a place to spend the night and get some food. After…read morespotting the famous fountain where you can load up on luso water we spotted a small cottage in the corner of a courtyard across from the fountain next to the hotel. We hesitated but walked in, sat down and we were warmly greeted and given menus in English. The menu descriptions don't do the food justice at all, the toasted breads were amazing and perfectly portioned. We randomly decided that we were in a tea mood and the lovely owner brought over a selection of all of their teas so we could smell and sample which we would like to try. The decor is quaint and cozy and looks as if it came straight out of a Pinterest board.

E volto a dizer os empregados simpáticos.

UPDATE - This place is out of the way... literally. Not a touristy spot at all. You'll have to…read moredecide to go there but it's worth it. Their "broa" (Portuguese corn bread) was voted best in the country and you can watch them make it. There's a huge room where they prepare the dough for all their amazing breads and pastries. We bought a load of pastries and broa. Look at that photo, it's amazing! There's an old windmill on the property and a restaurant with eating both inside and outside. We will return here when we get back to Portugal.

Amazing spot for coffee and ice cream. I stopped by twice in one day! That shows how much I loved…read moreit! First stop was for a cappuccino topped with cocoa powder which hit the spot. Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I go for the sweet side of the counter but the mini quiche and onion-shaped breaded chicken are fabulous. They have two huge spaces to sit in as well as room outside on sunny days.
