the quick and dirty - on a great place
Atmosphere: Cafe Vasco Da Gama (henceforth referred to as CVDG) has been around for a while. A cafe that serves food, it's offend crowded with couples and busy working professionals - its a great place to see and be seen and ironically one can even hide away here! (go to the back!)
Food: Tunal Burger?! Yes please - a specialty of the place, CVDG surges paninis, soups, deserts and coffee that are both temptingly good and filling. Never had a bad meal here.
Service: since the place can be quite crowded, be prepared to wait a little bit to be seated. Choices are made in person at the counter, and food is delivered to you once its ready. Minimal service, but always pleasant and courteous.
Pop in for a bit during the work day but my favourite time to visit is during the early hours of Sat / Sun - people are a lot more relaxed and there's a general sense of easy about the place as people are inclined to be a lot more mellow. Summer times even bring a few outdoor tables for some open air render-vous
You should go :)
