Pastelaria e Restaurante "O Alcaide"

'O Alcaide' is a versatile establishment that functions as both a pastelaria (pastry shop) and a restaurant, making it ideal for a full day of remote work. Located conveniently on Óbidos' main street, it provides plenty of seating, including larger tables that accommodate laptops comfortably. The atmosphere is consistently lively, with a friendly buzz of locals and tourists, but the space is large enough that you can usually find a corner to concentrate. They are renowned for their wide selection of traditional Portuguese pastries, including the famous Ginja de Óbidos (cherry liqueur) served in a chocolate cup, which makes for a delightful work break. Beyond pastries, they offer a full restaurant menu for lunch, ensuring you can grab a substantial meal without changing locations. Wifi is reliable, and while power outlets are not at every table, asking the staff usually helps in finding a suitable spot. It’s a great option for those who enjoy a dynamic setting and excellent local food while working.
