Explanada com boas vistas perfeita para relaxar ao som das cigarras no verão.. local intimista com várias zonas verdes nas proximidades.. atendimento 100 % .. preços não muito elevados..

Um café agradável com um atendimento bem acolhedor. Uma esplanada com vistas sobre a cidade. A cerveja é bem tirada, as tostas são saborosas, o almoço e o jantar são a preços acessíveis. Last but not least, "O Cortiço" é um local tranquilo onde se fazem bons amigos. No verão é um dos locais mais agradáveis para tomar uma bebida ao ar livre

Tenho de começar por dizer isto. A cerveja (imperial/fino, etc) é absolutamente fantástica. Mesmo muito boa, é dos melhores sítios que já experimentei. O pessoal é descontraído e simpático, e há boas opções para comer As tostas são muito boas, e as empadas também. Estive menos tempo do que queria, mas é um sítio a voltar!!!
