It's a little coffee shop/bar with a great decor based on a mix of vintage, surf, navy and pirates items. It's a nice place to have breakfast, grab something to eat for an afternoon snack, or to have something to drink at the end of the day like a Gin Tonic. The menus are different every day, so you will only know what you will be eating when you get there. We recommend the Açai bolls.

Tasca Rica is a restaurant with a generous terrace in front of the restaurant that serves typical portuguese dishes and portuguese tapas that we call "petiscos", it's small dishes that are met to be shared. We prefer to seat inside rather then outside on the terrace, the decor is quite nice with the portuguese tiles on the wall and bistro like table. We recommend the "pica pau" (it's a typical portuguese dish made with pieces of beaf cooked on a beer sauce), the "chocos fritos"(it's delicious fried octopus, the "ameijoas à bulhão de pato", pregos e bitoques are very good dishes. They also serve cocktails like mojitos, caipirinihas or gin tonic. A visit to the bathroom is a must, they are quite surprising!

TRAFARIA, it's a modest, small little fishermen village with a beautiful view from Lisbon, you can eat a great meal mostly fresh fish and seafood on any restaurants located in front of the Tagus River, and grab the boat to Belém.
To get to Trafaria by bus grab the BUS Nº 129 (Costa da Caparica - Trafaria)
