I tried the Rissois (Rissole/ Savoury Turnover with béchamel and meat or seafood inside) and Coxinha

The 3 I have tried so far (cod, shrimp, and chicken Coxinha) have been excellent. I especially like the shrimp rissois and the chicken Coxinha.

Café Bélem at 546 College St and their sister café and snack bar Alma Lusa at 350 Oakwood are now serving more hot sandwiches. I have not tried them yet.
