We were honestly disappointed. We stopped by O Ninho because they had gluten-free cake — our little one has allergies, so we were happy to find that option. The café itself looks nice inside, kind of cozy and family-friendly with some toys for kids, which we appreciated. The staff was polite, but everything took ages. There were three people behind the counter and still it took far too long just to get two pieces of cake to go.
We got a brownie and an apple cake. Both were dry, tasted old, and the brownie even had a burnt flavor. Our kid said he could make it better himself — and he probably could. We know gluten-free and vegan baking isn’t always easy, but there are so many great recipes out there now. This was just poor quality. And lets not talk about the 10EUR we paid for 2 small pieces of cake.
We also ordered an Americano. It cost €2.40, which is way too much for Portugal, especially when it tastes that weak and watery. And it was off season.
Friendly service, nice idea, but overpriced, slow, and honestly not good...

The cafe has a great upstairs area with books, games, montessori-style activities (writing, toys, dens) and more which are suitable for babies/toddlers. Our 18 month old loved it.
The food is very tasty and generous and again kid-friendly with items like a Babycino!
It is very clean, well organised and to be totally honest is way cooler (with their very own mural) than our over-priced nursery in London!
Jokes aside, we wish the owners all the best with this great and relatively new business venture. We'd love something like this close to home, it is a very...
Read moreWe dropped by for breakfast and were delighted with the meals, the kindheartedness of the owners, the very relaxing atmosphere and the fair price.
There were plenty of vegetarian, vegan and/or gluten free options, and most if not all the dishes could be made vegan or gluten free on demand. Impressive!
Note that the kitchen is really small, and because of that, orders took some time to be prepared, but that did not take away from the quality of the service nor of the meals. On the contrary, we felt quite at home and very relaxed.
The fruit pancakes were absolutely fabulous! And the Exotica salad was very sweet.
Great place that lives up to its name, and definitely...
