"Tasco" com referência na zona do candal e arredores, pela sua boa qualidade e excelente ambiente. Petiscos de grande qualidade e bastante económicos. Variedade e qualidade são palavras que define bem este cafe. Atendimento ao melhor nível, desde da simpatia dos proprietário (Ricardo). Muitos anos de sucesso.

Precisará de algum tempo para conhecer a alma, que é de excelência! Mas memos só pelo presunto, pelas bifanas, pelas pataniscas, pelo espadal, pelo lombo assado, vale muito a experiência. E vale pela relação preço/qualidade e pelo serviço: seja do pai, seja do filho! Gaia, no que de melhor nos pode oferecer....
