Kaju - Brunch Restaurant — Restaurant in Coimbra

Food - I tried the eggs Benedict and they were definitely an attempt at making something instagrammable with off placed bacon and sauce for the aesthetic The bread was good and toasted but the bacon was industrial, processed and awfully salted (looks like SPAM meat). The egg had water inside and the hollandaise sauce was the last nail in the coffin. As for the French toast it was a step up from the eggs, good toast and the sides and fruit was nice. The worst of all was the orange and mango juice made from concentrate which tasted like childhood sadness. Service - Nice but totally untrained staff, they ask the same questions over and over, one after the other. When the place is empty they stumble over each other and are unorganized, when it’s full the scenario is the same Atmosphere - Great decoration and all around ambiance. Comfortable seats with well spaced tables. Edit: I always find it funny when restaurants reply with passive aggressive comments to costumer advice and critics given exactly where they should be given (publicly and available for everyone to see) As anyone can read in what I wrote, not everything is being criticized but for a 3.5€ cup of juice with some ice I expect something flavorful. As I already said for what you are charging for your food I would never leave anything on the plate even if it’s bad. If, as a new place, you are already making snide remarks about your costumers ways of consuming and rating your establishment, I have a feeling nothing anyone says will affect what you are and will keep on doing. Clearly I’m not your target audience still I wish you all the best of luck in this business that will keep attracting many people to the centre of our...

Step into this cozy spot for a morning delight, be it breakfast or brunch. Tucked along the vibrant central street, it's a haven for foodies who know the art of choosing. 🍳

The kitchen here has cracked the code of poached eggs, a rarity even in the wide expanse of Portugal. We gave a nod to their mastery with eggs benedict and egg royal – a treat for the taste buds, presented with elegant simplicity. 🍽️

Now, about that 'Shakuska' adventure - eggs on point, partnered with toast and vegan feta. But hold up, the base sauce? It took a detour into creamy soup territory. No Shakshuka vibes here, folks. 🍅

Expectations were high for the Pain au chocolate, priced at a jaw-dropping 1.8. Reality check: staleness prevailed. Let's just say it got the cold shoulder. 🥐

The French toast made a grand entrance, though the toast itself didn't hold its texture well under fire. Sugar rush alert! Despite that, the ensemble of syrup, yogurt, granola, fresh strawberries, and banana turned it into a scrumptious affair. 🍞🍓

The Americano was on the 'okay' side of things, a sip-and-partially-ditched situation. But oh, that fresh orange juice – a burst of citrusy sunshine, complete with a dried orange slice. 🍊

Beyond the plates, the service and ambiance were like stars in a well-directed movie – utterly captivating. Worth a spin, if...

In response to the reply below: I do have respect for people. I´ve waited for more than 1h for a pancake while your employees were laughing and talking to each other. Just when I got up and asked for my money and said I was tired of waiting, the lady gave me the box with a pancake to eat outside. I said I didn´t want to, and she said I had already paid. She was a young girl, Brazilian, and with short hair. This happened 3 weeks ago at around 1pm.

Tourist Trap. I went to this place and it was horrible. You have to pay first and then they didn´t serve the food. I waited for 1 hour, and then only after complained they gave me a box with the food to eat outside. I couldn´t even eat in the place. The service is chaotic. The employees were young kids that were talking with each other and laughing all the time and didn´t care about the clients. The problem is that, to order your food, you have to pay immediately. So, they gain with that. People get desperate and then leave...
