Probably the coolest bookshop-slash-vinyl shop in the neighbourhood. Worth visiting just for itself, to browse and see the space — and they have a little gift shop too if you're not specifically book shopping.
HíbridoBakery, brunch & lunch60 mFounded during COVID by a pastry chef from Leo, the fanciest restaurant in the city, and grown into a real neighbourhood spot — in an unassuming house that is bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. High-quality breads, but also very high-quality brunch and lunch dishes.
AlmendroPastry shop90 mMy favourite pastry spot in Chapi Alto, especially on the sweeter side. Jorge catered the desserts at my wedding, and his pastel de nata is better than ones I've had in Portugal. Recommended for afternoon coffee and pastries — the medialunas are delicious too.
Diosa CaféCafé120 mAround the corner from Florindo: a coffee or a chai, and a cookie.
GanzōModern Chinese120 mModern Chinese with really good music — there's a whole scene. You need to make a reservation, and try to go earlier: people at the first sitting tend to stay, so tables don't free up for the late second one.
Helados ClementeNitro ice cream130 mThe in-vogue ice cream: nitro-frozen, then dipped in a chocolate bath so it sets into a shell, which is very cool. Good ice cream, good people, good flavours, good vibes.
