Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The homepage is organized around a practical stopover sequence: establish the pass and viewpoint, show representative dishes, then provide hours, directions, and a phone number. Its food list includes traditional espetada and made-to-order poncha alongside soups, sandwiches, galão, café chinesa, and homemade cake. The page also situates the restaurant near named levada routes and says the kitchen closes around 19:00, a useful detail for hikers planning the return journey.
