Interesting. Where I come from in Brazil, “sobremesa” is used to describe a dessert, direct translation.
I’d also add the Portuguese word “saudade”, which is a sense of yearning or of missing someone/something - often hard to convey in English.

Nostalgia is a distinct feeling of want for something in your past, often from your childhood. "His nostalgia for the video games of his youth coloured his perception of how bad they really were."
Since you brought it up, and now that I've thought about it for a while, "wistful" seems like it might be a better fit for "saudade", but I'm sure that that word has all sorts of meanings that wistful doesn't have.
