É muito bom ir à Giesta tomar um cafesinho e fumar um cigarrinho na sua esplanada interior!

Café muito acolhedor e os proprietários uma simpatia. Ligámos já a horas tardias para saber se ainda estavam abertos (pois as alternativas circundantes ou estavam fechadas contrariamente ao indicado no Google, ou não estavam interessadas em receber-nos mesmo estando abertas até tarde), e fomos convidados a aparecer sem problema algum. Fomos recebidos com hospitalidade e amabilidade para comer umas deliciosas bifanas. Um sítio a recomendar decididamente!

Bar acogedor que abre hasta tarde en Gouveia. Comimos un picapau esquisto. El servicio fue correcto y fueron muy amables.

Estávamos à procura de um sitio para jantar em Gouveia, mas não estávamos a encontrar nada aberto. Descobrimos este café através do google, ligamos para saber se ainda estavam abertos e se ainda faziam bifanas ou sandes para podermos comer dado ja serem 22h. O sr. disse que ainda estavam abertos e que podíamos lá passar que faziam bifanas. Fomos e apenas tenho a dizer que fomos super bem atendidos, o comer era saboroso e o ambiente impecável. Os srs que nos atenderam foram super simpáticos e atenciosos connosco. Espero voltar lá novamente.
