Nicolau Cascais

After a busy place in downtown Lisbon and a bohemian place in Porto, Nicolau has opened a holiday home in Cascais, with a terrace, a bar and a pink bathroom. The menu features some of the classics of this all-day café, such as the Amélia eggs, the Flower Power Bowl and, of course, the pancakes and waffles. But there's no shortage of exclusive novelties to match the summer holiday vibe: cauliflower and hummus with pesto, pistachio and pomegranate; Tom Yum prawn soup; the photogenic pumpkin risotto with coconut milk and goat's cheese or the Get Dirty Sandwich, a mountain of roast beef with a special mayonnaise between two slices of bread. In the sweets department, the novelties include Choco pancakes, which in addition to a chocolate, cream cheese and red fruit filling, have chocolate in the batter, and homemade ice creams, with unlikely flavours such as crumble or guava.
