This is one of the few local places where you can get savory breakfast. However, part of the experience was ruined by the low quality of food. First of all, I've ordered poached eggs with salmon served on bolo de caco. The bread was stale, and I literally have to fight to be able to cut a piece of it. There's no way I was served fresh bread, and this is quite sad. The real disappointment was the liquid that this place calls hollandiser sauce, which has nothing in common with a real hollandiser starting with the consistency and finishing with the taste of it.

I'm not writing about food or drinks because it all soured my stomach and...
Read moreLove this place, but had an awful experience at the jam session with one of the bartenders. I came to the bar counter when my friends were waiting in the queue. They were served right after I came there, when they left I stayed there waiting to be served, but all the bartenders were busy serving people around for a while. I asked the nearest bartender(unfortunately don't know her name, but she had long blue nails) to serve me and got an aggressive response saying I didn't stay in a queue, that she saw I just jumped in. She was rude and served me arrogantly, discussing my behavior with the people around me. Never had such a weird experience in the last 2 years in this bar. Hope the manager of the bar will take care and that won't...
