Afternoon Tea

Leaning into this cultural heritage, Bar das Cardosas continues to uphold the famous British tradition of Afternoon Tea, and serves a modern-day version of it daily from 4:30 pm-6 pm, complete with all the quintessentially British treats of course – such as scones and finger sandwiches.
