Restaurante Clarita Salão de Chá — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

Looked on Google for a nearby breakfast spot and found this lovely little café about 200 metres up the hill. Only seats about 16 so lucky to get one of the 4 tables. Divine pastel de nata plus a good toastie, coffee and beer. All excellent. Amazing how such a small space offers so much choice. Boothroyd and Jorvic chose well for breakfast. A proper locals spot with great value. 11.70€ for 2 ..beers, coffees,...

My wife and I tried lots of bifanas in our two weeks in Portugal, all of them good, but none as good as this place.

Most places we drowned the meat in that tasty mustard and piri piri sauce. Here, it was unnecessary.

They were so tender and flavorful they needed nothing more than a cold Super Bock (or two) on the side.

Hope to...

Best place to eat your breakfast! Amazing coffee and extremely local atmosphere:) same people coming in for a short espresso! we were visiting everyday for a coffee and local pastry :) if you know what you want the owner can make it to you, just say it in Portuguese:) thank you for making our stay in...
