Ponto G

Ribatejo


A friendly, bearded beer lover runs Santarém's refuge from commercial lagers, which features eight or so German and Belgian beers on draught along with another 150 in bottles, including a rotating menu of 30 or so Portuguese craft beers. It occupies a lovely, aqua-tiled corner building with sidewalk tables with views to Igreja de Marvila.
