    Scrambled eggs
    Reh L.

    Stopped by for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the clean vibes here with classy upbeat music, service was alright. Tried the scrambled egg and it was pretty good but very heavy.

    Shakshuka (not good) and immune boost juice
    Del A.

    Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 2/5 Service: 2/5 I was sad to be disappointed by this place because I had heard so many good things about it and the menu all looked mouthwatering! I came on a Friday around 9 and the place was packed and I managed to snag the last table. There's a sign at the door that says "please wait to be seated" so I did, but multiple staff members passed me with zero acknowledgement so I had to flag one down and ask for a seat. This was pretty consistent with the service for the rest of my meal unfortunately. I did not find my waitress very friendly, she was extremely inattentive and it felt like I was bothering her any time I had to flag her down after her never checking up on me. As for the food, also a disappointment. I went with the shakshuka which sounded and looked divine and it came out within just a few min which was great! The skillet was super hot but the actual food inside was cold and watery with bread that tasted stale. I also ordered the immune boost drink (with orange, tumeric, and ginger) which tasted good but was mostly just orange juice and I wish it had more of the other ingredients The ambiance of this cafe was the best part. Great music and cute decor with a few tables outside if it's a nice day. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this spot and wouldn't come back since there's so many better options in the area

    Goat Cheese Shakshuka and Immune Boost Juice

    Wonderful food and service with a warm and cozy interior. I got the Shakshuka which I thought was very good compared to other shakshukas I ate throughout my vacation. I would get it again. The immune boost juice was like orange juice with a hint of ginger. Im usually used to stronger ginger tastes, but it was still refreshing. The people serving me were very friendly and attentive.

    Café Janis is on the corner and can be hard to miss, like I did. But I took a picture of the menu for others to see.

    Went in for the first time and it is a very cute place with nice decor. The waitress was friendly and the food was great. The juices of ginger/orange is a great boost of energy. The ambience is very chill definitely recommend this place for breakfast or lunch.

    Earl Grey waffles

    Cute little cafe that is open all day. It's hard to find breakfast places that open early in Lisbon and this was one of them. I am reviewing breakfast. It was a chillier morning so I wanted to sit inside. We had to show a proof of vaccination or a recent COVID negative test to sit inside. Inside it's like being inside of a tree house and it has wireless so you can sit and work here. They had some unique breakfast courses but I really wanted waffles so I opted for the earl grey waffles with a latte. I like how they offered oat milk as an alternative! This restaurant is vegan/ lactose/ and vegetarian friendly. The service was great and I enjoyed my morning.

    Açaí Bowl, Warm Apple Porridge & croissant

    Absolutely LOVE this place! Came here 3 or 4 times during our week stay. Each time we tried something new and it was always so great! Staff is friendly and the café has a great atmosphere. Our go to brunch spot!

    Found it easily behind the time out market! Cute aesthetics, it felt like a cute little coffee shop! The staff was friendly. I ordered the waffles and oh my gosh it was delicious. With the earl grey cream on top, something different and I don't even like tea but it was amazing! Even with the chocolate sauce on top it hit the spot! I also ordered a plain croissant but was told later they ran out. They recommended some French chocolate croissant which I said yes. Nothing too special about it for me. It wasn't overly sweet but not extraordinary. They check vaccination at the door for dine in, but they also offer a good amount of tables outside.

    Inside restaurant

    While walking around Lisbon (Cais Do Sodré district), near the water, we were looking for a fun, casual breakfast/lunch spot - this place is that. Food is excellent, the drinks are fabulous and the staff is wonderful. This is a must stop and enjoy!

    Fresh healthy options. The vegan bowl was yummy! I added two extra soft eggs for more protein. :)

    Attentive waitress, great vistas outside, amazing guacamole, banana bread to die for, zesty calamari, hibiscus lemonade refreshing.

    Everything is quite good, and service was decent. Pretty good outdoor seating. In a more touristy neighborhood.

    A funky rooftop restaurant with extraordinary views and a vibrant feel…read more This place ended up costing us the most on our whole trip. The entrees were on the pricier side, which is something we didn't realize until the end of the trip - when we've had better food, better experience for a more feasible price. The entrees were smaller and less flavorful than we expected. Our bill was also a big one cause of drinks. We ordered: Crispy polenta and cheese balls Razor clams and new potatoes salad with greek yogurt, roasted peppers and cucumbers Game corn dogs with wild-berries fresh sauce and mustard leaves Entrees: we ordered duck, codfish, octopus and a steak dish where no one really enjoyed it... sidenote: I know Codfish is a very popular dish in Portugal - if you don't like that fishy/seawater/fresh-out-of-the-sea taste, you might not like it in Lisbon My friends didn't like the fish and the duck. Gin Fizz was good, as well as the Rosé (we probably ordered like 8 Gin Fizzes - they were that good) -takes CC, Wifi, great view What I recommend - go there for a drink and apps. I think their entrees were disappointing but apps and drinks were great

    Before coming to Lisbon, I did a little research on where to find views of the 25 de Abril bridge…read more Rio Maravilha happened to show up as one of the top places for the best views. An experience that I was hoping to capture was unexpectedly shut down. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the rooftop was closed to the public. Still an order of cocktails were placed with the attentive server. Shortly thereafter, the tequila based cocktail and a chocolate cocktail were brought to the table. Both drinks were good with two different flavor profiles. The chocolate cocktail with a subtle hint of coffee reminded me of a dessert which could be ideal as a digestif. It also came with a chocolate twig which made the drink a little extra fun. As for the other cocktail, well I'm sure you know how it goes with tequila :) Both drinks cost about $27 USD which was a wee bit more than I anticipated to spend. However, if you could enjoy the views from the rooftop while sipping away a cocktail or two, it will be worth it. Finding this place was also a little tricky. I had to ask the locals to help locate this place. If you're having trouble getting here, be sure to ask the locals.
