    Every time I go to costa da caprica I come here to lunch their menu is a good filler for some nice beach action bread with chorizo is baked in front of your eyes the soup is simple but tasty and the rice pudding dessert is just a nice satisfactory ending to your lunch also that menu included a beverage and a coffee! Did not expect it at the first time but hey its €5.90 you'll not regret unless you dont like meat ;)

    It's a really nice place if you want to ear something authentic from Portugal. The personal also very friendly and understand english. It is also really cheap and enough to eat to get fed. They have an vegetarian variant but, be careful with the soup because they told me it's without meat, but only one of them the other had sausages.

    Really cheap 5 euro menu, with chorizo bread, soup and a beer. Bread was quite dry but when eaten with soup it was manageable. Nothing too special, but ok for the price.

    (Translated by Google) Regular baking of breads topped with chorizo, cheese, ham, cheese and ham, served while still hot. 2 soups including CALDO VERDE. Low price, several formulas. Cooking over a wood fire. Super Bock beer. The coffee is excellent. Arroz doce com canela. Everything is good here and the service is fast. A little hunger or an ogre appetite. Rustic decor.

Cuisson au feu de bois. Bière Super Bock. Le café est excellent. Arroz doce com canela. Ici tout est bon et le service est rapide. Une petite faim ou un appétit d'ogre. Déco rustique.

  • 4/5 Luiz M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very busy but the "caldo verde" and the "pāo com chouriço" is mandatory. A good snack after a beach day or a dancing night.

  • 3/5 majid o. 1 year ago on Google
    I am a bit torn, the first time the bacalao merendeira was nice and the soup too salty and the second time the soup was perfect and the merendeira was not so tasty due to lack of seasoning. The service is great so makes up for some of the minor things. It's all about taste and as a chef i urge everyone to taste food before even serving of t to customers. Wil visit again on and if it's all as perfect as 4 years ago i will def share that with you all.

  • 5/5 David G. 2 years ago on Google
    Craft bread and chorizo, lovely pastries and amazing green soup! Best place to get a strong breakfast post-night out😅

  • 5/5 Fábio N. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want to taste the typical "caldo verde" soup, and eat a delicious bread with chorizo, this is the place. Special note to the staff: only women. Even behind the big huge oven. They are all friendly and welcoming. From all ages which gives you like a "saudade" feeling of our mothers, sisters and grandmother's behind the kitchen. I love to go there when I come on holidays. Prices are very cheap and the food is tasty. Special mention for the "arroz doce"/ milk rice as dessert ☺️. I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do !

  • 4/5 Lance P. 1 year ago on Google
    A delicious sizeable sandwich for a not sizeable price. Great for backpackers or those looking for food in a budget. Very popular place by the look of the Kom stop lineup of locals. Would eat again.

  • 2/5 Pedro 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It lowered the quality a lot. Bread with chorizo ​​almost without chorizo, and the green broth is practically water. (Original) Baixou bastante a qualidade. Pao com chouriço quase sem chouriço, e o caldo verde é praticamente água.

  • 5/5 Eduardo P. 1 year ago on Google
    Was good food. Menu not too expensive for what you get.

  • 5/5 Di C. 7 months ago on Google
    All day, freshly baked stuffed bread, bowl of soup, a drink, and rice pudding that fuels you up for a long time.

    Good food, good price, efficient friendly staff, quick service, great location. What’s not to like? 😁

  • 5/5 Rita R. 8 months ago on Google
    I have been visiting this place since I was a child. The taste hasn't change and the environment makes you feel at home. Going to Costa da Caparica means coming to the Merendeira. The pão com chouriço and the caldo verde are so delicious. I recommend the sangria, so refreshing and tasty!

  • 4/5 Marco M. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice concept of cheap local food. Love the idea and the food. Cheap beers too

  • 5/5 Ch Von V. 11 months ago on Google
    A very nice authentic place to have a quick and light lunch, a chouriço bread warm and made right there,a very good soup also with chouriço, a rice based desert and a coffee, all for 6,80. I totally recommend

  • 5/5 Tim C. 10 months ago on Google
    A great value meal, the soup is always very good sometimes the roll can be a little tough but generally is soft

  • 3/5 Filipe G. 9 months ago on Google
    Portuguese fast food. Nice quick option to have a fast snack. Menus available and outside seats to get some fresh air, since this is something that works very well.

  • 5/5 Teresa B. 11 months ago on Google
    After so many years and this food tastes exactly how I remembered what a lovely meal ,the soup ,chourico bread absolutely delicious 😋

  • 5/5 Fernanda P. 10 months ago on Google
    I went late at night around 12 so there wasn't much movement but the food is delicious and at a really good cost too. Had one of their menus for 5 euros soup, a bread with some cold meats inside and a beer. Pretty good!

  • 5/5 Andre C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a gem! The pão com chorizo is artesian craft. The soups are made from scratch and taste delicious. The caldo verde is a classic and the bean soup with octopus was also superb. Definitely a must see when visiting the Caparica coast.

    Very busy place all year round, price has gotten more expensive now but is good quality food easy for take away. Parking is a big issue around the area if you are driving. Customer toilet available too.

  • 4/5 Andre Messejana (. 1 year ago on Google
    Great classic food experience. Stood the test of time. And has been developing its recepies to make the food better. Been coming here since i was a kid and the "pão com chouriço" has really improved, more moist and much better tasting.

  • 5/5 Rute Isabel Teixeira de A. 1 year ago on Google
    Works just like a fast food stand, but your getting 'grandmas' soups and freshly baked stuffed bread. You have indoor and outdoor options which is great. Prices here are for any pocket. Great place to go at the end of the day at the beach, or a quick cozy bite on a cold day.

  • 4/5 Miguel 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap and fast traditional Portuguese food It's a cozy traditional home made "fast-food" in a wood oven. Their menus are really cheap and simple. You have the traditional Portuguese "pão com chouriço" (bread with chourizo) but also bread with cod or vegetables. The soup is always caldo verde with the option to add Chouriço to it (I recommend). The staff is OK and the place is cozy but slightly shabby.

  • 5/5 Michelle G. 1 year ago on Google
    Always fresh and warm, great value for money for the menu. Love the vibe, very traditional with the open fire oven and bread baking throughout morning noon and night. My favourite is the bacalau.

  • 5/5 Ania K. 2 years ago on Google
