Hidden gem

Sweet little coffee on a side street. The food is top notch. Unpretentious and very tasty. Would go back there in a heartbeat.

Amazing food and coffee

It's not totally vegan, but they have a lot of vegan options. I've been there 3 times, tried different things and love everything!

My favorite ones are the vegan Benedict, the "pão de beijo" and the brownie.

Hey! Thanks for the review😄We opened in September as mainly vegan but by the beginning of April we took the leap and became fully vegan!

Charming place with wonderful food

This place was just down the street from our rental apartment. It’s clean and comfortable. I had the vegan Benedict and my friend had the quiche and salad. The food was carefully and thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients. Would definitely go back.

Pros: Delicious well seasoned food, Friendly staff , Clean bathroom

Cons: Their website wasn’t working

Also thought the vegan cheese was amazing (asked and it is made with cashews).

I'm so glad you liked the cheese! We make 3 different types; cashew, almond and sunflower seeds :)

Breakfast at Pequeno café

Having discovered this vegan café on FB, we wanted to check it out for breakfast. The vegan tofu Benedict was delicious, coffee (flat white) was served with a bite of yummy brownie. Good tactic because we decided to get a brownie to eat later as it was very good. Our server (owner? manager?) was very sweet and interesting. If we are able to, we want to return for the lunch special as it looks amazing.
Our food was delicious but not very hot. This might be a Portuguese thing as we noticed this in other restaurants as well.
Definitely recommend.

Pros: Our server (owner?) was delightful , Vegan toast Benedict, delicious!, It's a cute tiny little café

Cons: We would have preferred the coffee to be hotter

Not fully vegan but pretty great

I submitted an update to change this from vegan to vegetarian but it’s still mostly vegan. The vegan breakfast options includes the Benedict, kombucha, and a hot drink.

A great spot for a hot breakfast.

Cosy little restaurant

Food is delicious, tasty, healthy. I had kimchi rice with tempeh and bean purée. Would have been perfect with a side salad or some greens. Also had a lemon cake to go. Almost everything is vegan and staff is friendly. I loved the healthy atmosphere, you can feel they love home made food, dish is beautifully presented and dressing was very tasty. Will go back to try another dish 😀

We're also really sad about the terrasse. We used to have one, but the city is revoking all licenses that were on parking spaces, sadly. Hope to see you again to try another dish

Nice and cozy cafe

This is the second location of Pequeno Café e Bistrô (the first one is in Arroios). For those who knew Cabane, this is where Cabane was. Pequeno Café is great for a nice breakfast, brunch or light meal.
The food is very tasty and homemade. I love the vegan Benedict toast, which has tofu and a lot of a delicious sauce. Not related to food, but contributing to the experience - the ceramics they use is beautiful.
The only reason why I'm not giving the fifth star is because although delicious, the menu is on a shorter side, so if you don't feel like having the dish of the day, the new options run out quickly (however, I understand how this is more efficient for the kitchen and to avoid waste).

Great food

Pequeno has consistently impressed me, starting from my initial visit to their other branch. Whether it was a streak of subpar dining experiences elsewhere, I found Pequeno’s quality to surpass that of most venues. Their concise menu offers thoughtfully crafted, flavorful, and nutritious options, complemented by excellent local wine and in-house kombucha. Today, I indulged in their special – a shepherd’s pie with a tofu and veg-filled center topped with a comforting mashed crust – a perfect choice for a winter day.
Good people create positive vines

Pros: Food, People , Vibes
