Mornings
Coffee & breakfast
Meia tosta with butter, a ham and cheese croissant, the full English, or the Portuguese one: scrambled eggs, a toastie, a pastel de nata and a coffee.

From breakfast through to dinner
Two houses, one counter
In the morning we are a café: toast, hot bifanas and the smell of coffee just pulled. In the evening we are a Portuguese table — francesinha, bacalhau, picanha, and a jug of house wine.
Afternoon & evening
A Portuguese table
Francesinha from Porto, bacalhau à lagareiro, octopus, picanha off the grill. Starters to share, Super Bock, and wine by the glass or the jug.

The name
Morabeza is not a word we can translate
Morabeza is a Cape Verdean Creole word, and it does not translate cleanly into any other language. The closest anyone gets is the art of welcome — a warmth so complete that a stranger leaves feeling like family. It is why the place is called what it is called, and it is printed on the boards for anyone who wants to know what they have walked into.
