We had a nice Sunday brunch at this place where it feels right to linger for some time. Simple but well-prepared food with lots of flavour. Godd coffee, too bad the choice of tea is not up to the rest... Feels like you're back in a 60's community! Recommended! More

We visited Pois Cafe thanks to our Lisbon guidebook, as it is otherwise hidden away in a street down from the Lisbon cathedral. The cafe is run by a Austrian family and has a real laid-back, relaxed atmosphere with large sofas to enjoy your drinks and eats in. We didn't have lunch but we enjoyed some sweets: freshly baked pie... More

This is a really nice relaxed cafe hidden away near the Se cathedral. All the food is made fresh on the premises and there's a really good range of hot and cold food and cake. Free wi-fi if you need it and with big sofa's to lounge around on while you rest from all that hill walking in Lisbon it's... More

This is a lovely little restaurant and cafe. Cosy chairs and couches, a decent menu, and good coffee are on offer. Locals and tourists love the place, which is located in the heart of Alfama. The breakfast food was first-rate, especially the toast, and the lunches were equally good. This is a relaxed, somewhat noisy and often busy location, but... More
