Belgium in Lourinhã: A Taste Adventure

Stepping into O Pequeno Belga means entering a cozy café where hospitality meets authentic Belgian taste. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a long chat over coffee, our menu is infused with care and quality ingredients.

Signature Belgian Delights on the Menu

Belgian-style fries

Cut by hand, double-fried, salted just right—crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, just like in Brussels.

Liège Waffles

Crunchy, tender, caramelized with pearl sugar and totally addictive, especially with a scoop of ice cream or espresso.

Flemish Carbonnade

A soul-warming beef stew slow-cooked with Belgian beer, mustard and spiced bread. True comfort food for any season.

Belgians beer

We rotate our selection to match the season. Light, dark, fruity—you name it. We’ll help you pair your drink with just the right dish.

A Portuguese-Belgian Fusion

We like to mix it up too! Our chefs play with local products to give Belgian classics a Portuguese twist—think waffles with pastel de nata cream or mussels cooked in local Lourinhã wine.

Coffee, the Belgian Way

Coffee holds a special place at our table. Try real Belgian filter coffee—smooth, rich, and ideal for breakfast, fika, or a midday pick-me-up.
