Gorety Portuguese Café

Head down to Canal Basin and you'll spot Gorety tucked away where the water meets the city—it's become the sort of place locals actually queue for on weekend mornings. The menu's refreshingly unpretentious: custard tarts that rival anything you'd find in Lisbon, bifanas (pork sandwiches) that arrive warm and properly seasoned, and coffee that doesn't mess about. It's cramped in the best way, with genuine Portuguese vibes and staff who clearly care about what they're doing.
