Welcome to Café Pissarra, a delightful café nestled in the charming streets of Vila Garcia, just outside of Guarda, Portugal. This hidden gem is a true haven for anyone seeking a cozy spot to indulge in exquisite flavors and warm hospitality. Known for its inviting atmosphere, the café transforms by day from a local watering hole serving both hot and cold beverages into a bustling eatery in the evening, offering a myriad of delicious culinary options that are sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Café Pissarra is particularly celebrated for its authentic Portuguese tapas that bring traditional flavors alive. Patrons rave about the alheira à Brás and ovos rotos, which are generously portioned and bursting with taste. As customer Dalila Romão enthusiastically shares, “Comida muito saborosa e com doses muito bem servidas.” It's no wonder that many diners find themselves delightfully overwhelmed by the servings, proving that sharing may be a wise choice.

The café's exquisite tábua de queijos e enchidos has also won admiration, as noted by ana paula Coelho, who remarked on the “excelente” nature of the flavors and the top-notch service. The morcela da Beira stands out as a must-try—a rich, flavorful sausage that pays homage to local culinary traditions.

Of course, no visit to Café Pissarra would be complete without sampling their exceptional coffee. Customers like Jodi Deister can’t get enough of the superb brew crafted by the friendly owner herself, making it a perfect pause during your day. “Definitely recommend and would go out of my way to stop here again,” Jodi declared, highlighting the café’s irresistible charm.

The ambiance of Café Pissarra envelops you in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for both casual catch-ups with friends and intimate dinners. Antonio A Curto expressed his delight at stumbling upon this picturesque spot, noting, “Food was wonderful in taste & presentation”. The capability to appreciate every bite in such lovely surroundings adds to the experience.

For those who venture near, just take Kristina Čuljat's advice: “Obavezno potražite ukoliko se nađete u blizini Guarde.” This hidden treasure is not just about food; it’s about the connection with the community, heartfelt service, and the joy of discovering something wonderful.

In conclusion, Café Pissarra is more than just a cafe; it's a culinary celebration waiting to be explored. Whether you are a local or a traveler passing through, make sure to stop by and experience a slice of Portuguese culture fused with impeccable dining.

Comida muito saborosa e com doses muito bem servidas. Éramos duas pessoas e tivemos dificuldade em comer a dose de alheira à Brás e a dose de ovos rotos. Recomendo a sobremesa.

Ukoliko ne poznajete nikoga u malenom mjestu Vila Garcia, nema šanse da nađete ovo skriveno blago u koje je tijekom dana obićan lokal koji poslužuje tople i hladne napitke a tijekom većeri se pretvara u restorančić sa toliko ukusnom hranom da ćete se poželjeti vratit opet i opet i opet, obavezno potražite ukoliko se nađete u blizini Guarde.
