Picapau in Mendip

Friendly little Portuguese café of character. Excellent coffee and home made cakes, or sit in for something delicious and unusual for lunch or supper. Generous portions. I think that even the bread was home made. I would be extremely happy to find a place like this in Madeira or London, let alone King's Lynn. You may not recognise everything on the counter, but just ask.

A lovely family from Madeira who home cook the best Portuguese tarts ever! We’ve tried them from a celebrated patisserie in Lisbon and Picapau’s were better! I had a delicious octopus sandwich as well. What a delightful cafe to be found in the heart of the town

I regularly popping in to have one of the excellent Portuguese coffees they do. I also love the great cake selection that are made in house. You get a lot of the product for your money. The meals are absolutely gorgeous and they are made all from fresh ingredients. The bifana that they do is absolutely gorgeous. That is the best £4, You will ever spend with proper fresh Portuguese bifana bread. You wont be disappointed if you ever go there.

Very good.. fantastic place fantastic food and the attention was 100%.. it is recommended place for sure.. just love it .. thank you for everything.. it was my birthday and the caring was wonderful.. great place ❤️

Just went into that li’l slice of Portugal-in-Kings Lynn, Picapau for a sandwich. Great sandwich, made fresh at the counter, just like snacking on holiday but … I tried a Pastel de Nata (egg custard) and HYPERBOLE ALERT my face just exploded in complete delight !! I was embarrassed at how vocal I was, stood eating at the counter. Absolutely amazing. The guy gifted me the custard which was a generous thing to do. This is a fantastic little cafe (named after they spicy bar snack of thinly-cut pork with beer gravy) with a straight-from-your-holidays cafe menu with great daily specials. Awesome

Very tasty and fresh...had the lunchtime deal very fresh and authentic...I've had a fair bit of Portuguese food and this was very good...fresh cooked chips and very tasty bifana....

Enjoyed a great Sunday lunch here with my wife, sister and niece. Real Portuguese food served Madeira style. Tuna steak served with salad, rice, potatoes. We followed this with fabulous cakes. Fantastic food; served by ultra friendly owners; real value for money. Added bonus - so much to eat that won’t need to eat for a while.

Amazing service and even better food! We were approached and shown to our table immediately. Every dish was presented to high quality standards and was absolutely delicious! We all had a great time and a huge laugh with the owners! Extremely friendly people that made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived! Can't wait to visit again!

If u are looking for something a little different then this little portuguese cafe is a place to visit. Great customer service, with fantastic cakes, snacks, or main dishes available with weekly portuguese specials on offer. Having only found the cafe a few weeks ago can't stop going back as the food freshly cooked and very tasty 😋

Excellent food and service by the owners. Our first visit and won't be last. Reseable prices and fresh. Also tried a English breakfast and was delicious, cooked to perfection. Many thanks for the service.

Authentic Portuguese cafe, friendly staff and traditional food. Maybe not to everybody's taste, but certainly was ours. Really good value. Give it a go!!!

We popped in for brunch and not really knowing what we wanted asked the man behind the counter to recommend something. We had a couple of sweetened bread rolls with ham and cheese and a couple of coffee and two Portuguese tarts. Oh wow.beautiful food and the coffee was one of the best flat whites I've ever had. If you're in the area, this place is a must

Food is freshly cooked and done the proper way. Staff are very friendly and prices are great. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent coffee from a family owned business! Mt partner had a doughnut which he said was beautifully fresh.

Best food in town. Very affordable and amazing good value for the money. The owner are amazing people very humble and friendly. Really enjoyable to spent some time in their caffe. Best soup you can eat in town.

My wife had the chicken salad and I had the steak sandwich. Both were excellent. The coffee was also the best we have had in a long time. Give this place a try.

I called into the Picapau yesterday, the coffee was excellent and the cake delicious. The people were friendly and the service was good. Thank you, it was nice to have a little taste of Portugal. We will see you again.

We ordered through just eat. Asked for two chicken burgers amongst other things. We received the pictured burgers which were definitely not chicken! When we rang to complain we were rudely told we were wrong and then hung up on. I will not be ordering...
