The Second Room
Open since 2012, this small, stylish, and comfy coffee and cocktail bar is an ideal place to rest your feet after a day of sightseeing, as it's moments away from the cathedral. What's nice about it is that it's right in the thick of the action, but it's tucked down a side street so you'll find yourself surrounded by locals rather than guidebook-wielding tourists. The house special is a sharp and icy caipirinha served in a screw-top jar so you can give it a good shake. Coffees are aromatic and creamy, though perhaps a little on the small side. There's a small tapas menu, too, if you're in the mood for a bite. Later on, it becomes a louder, funkier cocktail bar which is really good fun on weekends.
