The longest open* bridge in Europe frames the tallest building in Portugal*.

*The Crimean Bridge is 915 metres longer but it is currently closed after several attacks.

*One of Portugal's charming characteristics is the absence of tall buildings. Nothing to prove here!

A perfect breakfast at @opaozinhodasmarias in Ericeira! Galão (2:1 milk:espresso), an excellent French-style croissant, and a shatteringly crisp pastel de nata. And that idyllic fishing village and surf town vibe. 😍 @ericeiralovers @ericeirafeed @ericeiracommunity @ericeiralive #pastelDeNata #pasteisDeNata #nata #natas

Presenting the best croissant I’ve enjoyed in a long time and possibly the best almond croissant I’ve ever had!
😍😍😍

At a time when so many new vendors sell disappointing wares, @tartelette_bakerycafe is a welcome gem.

My only complaint was that one croissant was about ¾ the size of the other. Ask for a big one! 😉

I think this may be the best croissant in Ottawa at the moment—perfectly crisp exterior, light chewy interior, and a rich but balanced butter content. The almond croissant was also perfectly balanced, not too sweet or dried out like others. We visited on Saturday morning in late July.

Absolutely lovely breakfast experience with my bro

Absolutely lovely breakfast experience with my brother and sister-in-law at the shiny new @driphouseottawa Mechanicsville location at 121 Parkdale. They even accommodated my outrageous request for banana ricotta pancakes (offerings were banana Nutella and berry ricotta, both with maple syrup). 😍 Looking forward to going back!
