‘Why not a new meal, served around noon [
until 4pm, we say ], that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, [
and please also on saturday at least and any day-off or holiday really ] brunch would make life brighter for saturday— [
or any other night ] —night carousers... Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting [
and basically a dream come true ]. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.’ Welcome to the Townhouse Kitchen. Relax, we got you!

Traditional French grilled warm sandwich with locally sourced produce from northern Portugal. Le Croque Monsieur. After you, Madame. Melted flamengo cheese from Ponte de Lima all over the place! Literally.
The ultimate breakfast—brunch—lunch perfect at any time of the day. Easy peasy! You get two eggs any style of your preference and you pick two sides. Basically, everything made to your desires and needs.
Best in the world! Maybe... Our world famous 2-tier pancakes or thy rabanada, the golden french-style toast made with our housemade brioche, previously dipped in sweet cinnamon milk, done until perfect!
Some say we have the best pancakes in the whole word, others say our rabanadas a.k.a. french toasts are not from this world, they say, but these desserts are not to be forgotten. Thus, wrap up any meal with these treats.
