Everyone was so nice, incredibly friendly, and the service was fast. The atmosphere inside is so cozy - like you all are gathering in someone's dining room for breakfast. I enjoyed that. There is a small seating area outside in the alley/breezeway and people will bring their dogs and sit outside and have a coffee. My husband got the ham and cheese croissant most mornings and really enjoyed it. The staff there speaks multiple languages across the bunch which is incredibly impressive. Really casual - a lovely breakfast and coffee spot.

My large latte was long on the finish and dark roast flavorful, and my Nutella croissant buttery and only lightly crispy. For me it was the perfect size. But my family ordered what turned out to be surprisingly large salad portions and only made their way through them dutifully. My brother felt the out-of-stock quinoa that the back of house regretfully omitted removed a vital textural and flavor element that would've set off the avocado and absorbed the dressing. My mom criticized the mild vinaigrette on her salmon and walnut salad and felt the lox was too abundant. Still, we three hung out for an hour here, in downtown Lisbon, for €35 after tip, which is pretty excellent value.

The restaurant is located a few blocks off the Main Street in Lisbon in a beautiful historic building with blue and white tile work on the exterior. The dining area has a cute modern vibe with dining space on the main level plus an upper loft. On our visit there was not a printed menu and food options were displayed on a chalkboard as well as inside the glass display case. Service was a tad slow but quite friendly and there are staff on site that speak functional English. I ordered the vegetarian mushroom and cheese quiche served over a mixed green salad with a delicious homemade dressing with crunchy sesame seeds. Chris had the quiche Lorraine over the same salad. It was all delicious. We both had sparkling water and red wines. The wines are displayed on the counter for patrons to view and choose. The dog was super friendly without being obnoxious and satisfied our withdrawal symptoms from our pets back home in Atlanta. We recommend this restaurant!!!

The roast beef sandwich came with an amazing mustard dressing. And my husband said the duck tart was outstanding.

Worth Going Out Of Your Way…read more.... On our annual vacation, my wife and I were fortunate enough to get a reservation for 3 nights at the Santiago de Alfama hotel. Audrey's is their primary restaurant and we sampled 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1 dinner. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: - In keeping with the hotel, everything is beautiful in a subtle manner. Call it "down-to-earth elegance". - Breakfast: The a la carte menu offered some of the best breakfast foods we've ever had. Examples: Fresh granola and berries with Greek yogurt. THE BEST EVER! Home baked breads and pastries. Orange juice that's pure and not too sweet. Bagel and lox to please the purists. Service was provided by a trio of very friendly, attentive and helpful young women. - Lunch: We ate on the patio in front of the hotel. I had a super tasty vegetarian Thai dish while my wife had a big salad. They were accompanied by the best Sangria in ages. Sweet, but not too much. - Dinner: The dining room is very attractive yet understated like the hotel. Comfortably modern European. Food was impeccable. Tomato salad was large and amazing. My wife's dish focusing on baked cod was large and filling. My polenta with mushroom ragu was immense and full of flavor. Breads are baked daily and almost as good as dessert. Speaking of dessert, mine was a fantastic chocolate mousse while my wife had fresh berries with a massive amount of the best homemade whipped cream. Wine was a local Chardonnay - an excellent choice - for a reasonable $30. - Prices for such a Michelin star experience are considerably lower than you'd expect in the US. Con: - While the food at dinner was fantastic, service was perfunctory. Our server, a pleasant young woman, covered the basics...but nothing more. During our 90 minute meal, she NEVER asked "how are you doing?" Can I get you anything?" We ordered a bottle of wine, but NOT ONCE did she offer to refill our glasses. She didn't speak an unrequired word. The man seemingly managing the room barely acknowledged us. The guy clearing dishes was the ONLY ONE to ask if we wanted coffee or tea. The restaurant was nearly empty. Did we not spend enough? Did we do something wrong? What a way to put a damper on a glorious meal. However, as well-behaved Americans, we left a 15% tip. The next day, we spoke with Martim Neves Carneiro from Guest Relations who was very receptive to our information. He said "they are part of a new nighttime crew and will need remedial help". How very true. Despite those hesitations, Audrey's certainly deserves 5 stars.
