Cantina das Freiras

Cash or Portugues credit card only!!! If you can get a table on the terrace, the atmosphere is unbeatable. This place where the locals eat. Food is inexpensive. And if you consider the price, it’s worth a visit despite the lack of variety since the menu is fixed and changes daily. Would come back.

This place is amazing. You can choose from 3 different lunches, take a dessert and a soup and you pay 9€. The women, who work there are very polite and the food was local and delicious. The view from the terrace is definitely a plus. Before you go, you have a coffee that comes with the meal.

Wonderful view, excellent food(for the price) and the best bit, to help a good cause.

First thing, this place is not easy to find, but well worth the effort. It's not a traditional restaurant that you may be accustomed to, this is a no frills Catholic operated cafeteria style eatery. Your options are soup (Y/N), salad (Y/N), meat, seafood or vegetarian. There isn't a menu, you just answer those questions and they reach you your plate. Please do not let this make you think it isn't great because it was. The outdoor terrace was incredible and the food was as good as some of the Michelin restaurants that we had eaten at.

Cafe with daily set menu with soup salad main dish (choice of 3 with one veg) dessert drink and coffee for 10 euro. Small terrace with ocean view and air conditioning inside. Great value only open for lunch

Good food and amazing deal for the price. ~10 eur for soup, entree, beer/wine and a post meal coffee. The only issue is the signage or lack thereof. Use google maps and refer to the photos for help finding it. When you get to the door, either take the evelator or walk up to the third floor.

A little hard to find: when you’re at the street, look for the door with the “1” number at the top. Climb the stairs to the top till you see a white door to the left (usually closed). Go through the door and you’re here. They have a set lunch menu with what seems to be 2 options for the main dish. Everything is in Portuguese but there’s usually a line and you just have to follow the person in front of you! It’s self-service and you get your tray, food etc and then pay at the cashier. I got the lunch set with soup and a small beer for €7.50, and it tasted great! Tip: they have an open air terrace with amazing views. Near the cashier there’s a door that leads outside, I missed it while I was there and sat indoors instead. Also remember to return your tray after you’re done!

Saw this place on a social media post. The outdoor patio is Lovely but small. Chose to eat lunch indoors in the air conditionning. Hearty and authentic food served cafeteria style. Soup, salad, your choice of a meat dish, fish dish or veg dish. They change daily. Drink extra but very inexpensive your meal also includes a ticket for a coffee at their coffe bar after your meal. 5 people, with drinks and coffee. 46€ Rustic / local flavors. Would return. Opened only mon-Friday 12-3pm
