A Padaria Portuguesa-Camoes

This citywide cafe and bakery franchise has caught the imagination of locals and tourists alike. The concept is simple, a bright and breezy French-style boulangerie (lots of croissants and baguettes) shining under 60's-style lamplights and lots of street food suggestions chalked up on the blackboard. This is a favourite morning haunt for budget-conscious travellers and busy commuters. The breakfast menu of juice, expresso and cheese and ham sandwich is the best buy, and by 9 am it gets so busy the queue backs up to the front windows. The display cabinets heave with sausage rolls, meat pies, donuts, flan and dozens of different cakes, and the place stays open all day and into early evening. Take your pick!
