"Great friendly pub!
First time here. Loved the atmosphere. Owner is very friendly and welcoming as well as staff. Everyone seems to be very well looked after. It feels like a place I’d go almost ever day if I lived in Braga. The hamburguer was so delicious I could probably have had two if I weren’t careful. An absolute heart winner in terms of customer service. Good job there! Keep up the good work guys!"

"A great place for expats to gather. It's nicknamed "The Living Room." A slender room with a bar along one side. Tapas and cocktails are great. The Negroni was just a tad on the sweet side, but was quite delicious. Wings, chimichangas, mini tacos, were perfect. Loved the aperitas, with the soft corn pitas and guacamole filling. A small "living room" area at the front of the store has a couch, a couple of chairs, and a small table make for a perfect gathering spot."

"43 São Marco Street – Coffee • Tapas • Bar is a cozy spot run by foreigners who’ve made Braga their home, and it brings a refreshing, international flair to the city’s culinary scene. Our visit was brief but enjoyable — just enough to leave a positive impression and a curiosity to return.
We tried the arepitas with guacamole, paired with a cold beer. The dish was comforting and flavorful, especially for those who haven’t had this kind of food in a while. The guacamole was fresh, nicely seasoned, and generous in portion, tucked inside warm, lightly crisped arepas. Simple, satisfying, and clearly made with care.
The setting is relaxed, service was friendly, and while we didn’t explore much beyond our plate and drink, it’s the kind of place you want to come back to. It feels like a small cultural corner — unpretentious, warm, and with good energy.
We can’t judge the full range of what they offer just yet, but based on this first visit, we’re happy to give it 4 out of 5. We’ll definitely return for a more complete experience."
