Visited this little cafe with a group of friends. We ended up visiting this spot twice. The servers were kind and polite. Food was scumptious and the iced coffees were delectable.

Our go-to in Luz for a local eatery. Caters for all: Great coffees, breakfast, afternoon snack and beer. Coffee prices slightly cheaper than on the seafront and you still have a sea view. Service is always very attentive & friendly. Lovely to sit outside and it’s quiet enough for our baby to sleep Cash only at this place.

This is a great eatery. It’s small in size but has indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors has a view of the ocean and beach. The food is delicious. Try the bifana meal! It’s my favorite. They also serve beer and alcohol. The owners and staff are friendly and eager to serve. They speak English too. Parking is nearby but sometimes it fills up with surfers. I recommend eating here.

We went a couple times during our stay in Luz. By far the best service in town, friendly and funny. By far the best food quality for the price. It’s incredible what you can eat at a fraction of the price of other spots. Very highly recommended. The staff is amazing.
