Snack Bar Ponto de Encontro sits on Rua 25 de Abril 35 in Benafim – a proper village snack bar for coffee, a simple plate, and somewhere to sit down after a morning of inland walking.
It’s open long hours, Monday to Saturday 07:00-21:00, which makes it an easy stop whether you’re grabbing a coffee before Rocha da Pena or winding down after it. Sunday it’s closed, so save this one for the rest of the week.
Don’t expect a menu or fine dining – it’s a snack bar in the true village sense, and that’s exactly why it works after a hot, dusty hike. It sits on the same street as late-running Bruno’s Bar, so if your inland day stretches into the evening, you don’t have far to move.
Worth it? Yes, for a no-fuss Benafim pause. If you want a fuller sit-down meal in the same village, try Restaurante Hamburgo instead.
