Tabacaria Rogeiros

Tabacaria Rogeiros sits quietly off the main buzz of the city, offering a spot where locals step away from the noise for a relaxed drink and some hearty, traditional food. Its identity straddles the line between a café and an espresso bar, but it carries a familiar warmth that feels more like a community living room than a rushed coffee stop.

Inside, the atmosphere is straightforward and inviting—no flashy decor, just a space where family and friends gather comfortably. Regulars appreciate the attentive and friendly service from the staff and owners, which lends a personal touch that often gets lost in busier spots.

While it’s a place where you can enjoy a good espresso or gin, it’s also well-regarded for its food offerings rooted in local Alentejo flavors. Think simple, satisfying dishes like the regional take on pork and classic seafood preparations, enjoyed without fuss in a setting that encourages lingering over conversations.

This café-bar hybrid feels perfect for those who prefer a laid-back afternoon or evening away from crowded city hotspots. If you’re looking to savor traditional Portuguese flavors surrounded by warm hospitality, especially with family or a close group, Tabacaria Rogeiros fits neatly into those plans.

• Best for casual drinks paired with traditional, home-style dishes
• Appeals to locals who value friendly service and a familiar, relaxed setting
• A good time to visit is outside peak city hours when the atmosphere is calm and unhurried
