Boutique Do Presunto

The Beiras


One of several popular spots lined up on the central plaza, this is something of a hybrid cafe-slash-fast food place specialising in regional ham (presunto) and cheese (queijo). It's all very casual with seating square-side or in the functional interior and a menu of baguette-sandwiches, burgers and cured-meat platters.
