    One of the best places for pastries in Bissau. Whilst this isn't saying much, there are some genuinely good options, including the pastel di natas. Also sells gelato, which is usually excellent.

    Coffee is bad. Baristas have no idea about dosage, tamping (they often don't bother), pours or stretching the milk. The machine is not clean, coffee is exposed to the air, dosage by teaspoons rather than weight or counted measure. Comfortable enough place to sit and bakery items are tasty. Hot meals that I tried were dry and uninspiring. Chicken served with cold chips. Customer service is somewhat friendly but severely lacking. Most of the time you are ignored at the table which is potential loss of extra sales. This applies whether the place is empty or full. I've been at least 20 minutes waiting to order something else. All of this could be rectified with training . (Contact me) Surprisingly, this appears to be a popular watering hole with locals and visitors alike.

    Imperio is a great place to go at any time of the day. Situated just opposite the president's palace, it serves delicious food at a reasonable price. The serving staff are friendly and accommodating.

    Not a bad place. The dessert display is the best I’ve seen in Bissau, but overall the entire restaurant should strive for improvement. They have CNN on at all times which isn’t something I found anywhere else.

    Large beer at 1000 cfa, a decent ham and cheese sandwich, other bakery goods on offer. Football and Portuguese channels on TV. Open later.

    It's almost the only place to eat decent pastries in the city. The problem is that it is expensive and the service is not very good.

    I was able to find the only proper bakery in Visio. I wanted an iced Americano, so I asked for some ice and they responded well. It's expensive compared to the price, but the cake and bread were delicious.

    Great place to stop for coffee, drinks, a snack or a meal. Sandwiches, pizza, etc... Nice location. Tables are in an open-air, but shaded area.

    Great pastry but the employee who was at the register on February 27th at 8pm for a mixed sandwich and 1 juice 3250 cfas, I gave her 5000 cfas and she gave 1500 cfas in change and said and insisted that I split 250 cfas for her. In the middle of so much discussion, she gave me back 200cfas and kept looking at me and I ended up leaving. This employee likes to steal from customers, especially foreigners. Be careful because sooner or later I will go back to eating anything for the price and service. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 Ps: Criticism helps to improve service and customer service failures.

👍 Nice international (read: Portuguese) restaurant popular with expats and well-off locals. There's an air-conditioned room to the right from the entrance if the main room is too hot. Prices wouldn't be out of place in Lisbon, but you get the major upside of the restaurant not employing disabled snai...

👍👍 Great Lebanese food including shawarma, great burgers with a middle Eastern touch, awesome milkshakes and juices. Pizzas are good too but way too small compared to Bistro's and Papa Loca's.
