Largo do Dique 18 loja 20.6 mi from Portimão centrelast reviewed October 2026

The Arade riverfront stop in Portimão where the coffee is the draw, and an Australian coffee snob went back for the flat whites. Bring the bike; there is a terrace for it.

The Portimão riverfront answer when you want a proper flat white.

What we love

  • •Flat whites that won over a self-described Australian coffee snob in a town where good coffee is scarce
  • •Brunch alongside the coffee, with a macchiato, long black and batch brew on the menu
  • •Ube latte, thick and creamy
  • •Bike-friendly terrace on the Arade riverfront
