In the corner of the market there's a cosy café called "Chá & Bolachas" where you can eat the best chocolate cake in town!
In front of the market you can get a free city bike to burn the calories! :)

Typical place with good portuguese food, quite cheap! Owned by a funny old man, we call this "the garage place"! You need a car to get there and it may be a challenge if you don't know any portuguese!

If you like icecream and sweets, this is a nice place to visit! I recommend the ovos moles icecream, for me it's better than the original sweet! Also, you can buy good portuguese products here.

Although out of the center in a not so interesting place, it's only a 10m bike ride away, and it has awesome burgers! However, it's small and you need to be there early (7pm) so you dont have to wait!
