Very nice cafe on the Ponte de São Gonçalo. Here you can find all the local specialties such as Brisas do Tomega, Papos de Anjo, Foguetes or Bolo de S. Gonçalo. In the cafe you can walk to the river side and enjoy the uninterrupted view of the Rio Tamega and the bridge. When the weather is nice there are also outdoor seats.
