Alecrim & Manjerona

Belém


Tucked away from the crowds on a side street, Alecrim & Manjerona ('Rosemary & Marjoram') is a cute grocery store, cafe, deli and wine bar rolled into one. Besides delicious homemade cakes and tarts, it rustles up wallet-friendly specials – from quiches to bacalhau espiritual (codfish gratin).
