The best brunches Lisbon Area

It is one of the discoveries of Le Petit Futé, a stone's throw from the church of São Cristavão. Here is a brunch coffee as we like them, nestled in the Mouraria. O Ninho means "the nest" in Portuguese and indeed, here you feel at home in a cosy and warm atmosphere. Marion and Stanislas offer you very good quality brunches with muesli, orange juice, scrambled eggs... In good French, they also offer chouquettes prepared every morning but also a range of local products (homemade Port beers, Douro wines, delicatessen...)

Originally opened as a Russian gastronomic restaurant, this establishment has become a café where you can enjoy brunch at any time of the day. You have to keep your eyes open to see it in the street because its entrance is very discreet. You will have to find his sign with the portrait of the famous Stanislav. The decoration has kept its Slavic spirit, with a sublime piece of furniture in the back room. On the menu you will find all the traditional dishes for a good brunch or a gourmet break. We like the fact that he's on a quiet street.

This recently opened establishment offers bistro-style cuisine. Located in a small and quiet street, you will be able to have a brunch or lunch in the sun on the terrace, without being disturbed by cars. In your plate, the flavors mix to create original and gastronomic dishes. Those with a sweet tooth will love the brownie and its miso caramel sauce. For those who prefer salty food, you can be seduced by mac'n'cheese with truffles or steak tartare with seasonal fruits and cashew nuts.

It was during the period of Covid-19 and confinements that chef António decided to explore the world of natural fermentation. He teamed up with his brother Lourenço to create Do Beco in 2020. Initially, as the name suggests, it was a simple bakery. But given the quality of the products, success came quickly. Today, it's also a café where you can take a break or brunch on weekends with the formula for two.

Curva is a café where you can have lunch or brunch, or even work if you manage to get a seat at the computer table. At the entrance, someone greets you and takes you to a table, so you're not sitting here alone. On the menu, you'll find all the classics of this kind of place. We love the touches of greenery with plants here and there. A special mention for the espresso, which is very good. At the back of the café is a boutique featuring a number of local designers.

At the Martinhal Hotel, Terrace offers guests a new culinary experience. Each day has its own theme, and on Sundays, it's brunch for everyone. The restaurant is kid-friendly, so don't worry if you're traveling with the family. And as well as eating well, there's a whole host of entertainment on offer, including live cooking, children's entertainment and live music. In terms of food, you'll find the classics as well as Asian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, grills and nuggets.

Basilio is another address of I love Nicolau. With their first address opened in 2016, the success allowed them to open other locations, including Basilio. Dedicated to brunch lovers, this restaurant-café hopes to satisfy them at any time of the day. Brunch is no longer reserved only for Sundays as it often is, but it is now possible every day! On the menu: burgers, toasts, pancakes but also salads and various pastries. Enough to delight the greediest among us.

We fell in love with this place when we discovered it. Encosta is truly a café where you can feel that everything is homemade and made with care. Not far from the beach but on a quiet street, it also has a terrace to enjoy on sunny days. The menu offers simple things like bagels with different fillings, soup or sandwiches and, above all, cakes and pancakes that look so appetizing! All this at pretty reasonable prices compared to other places, so what more could you ask for?
