Bowls and Bar

I stop at Bowls and Bar nearly every time I go into the city. This artsy coffee shop and brunch cafe is located in the Sao Bento neighborhood and you can watch the yellow trams roll by while you sip your coffee. There’s a flower shop inside so it always smells amazing and they have a big menu of sweet and savory breakfast and lunch options. The Shakshouka and the morning oatmeal bowl with peanut butter and fresh fruit are two of my all-time favorite dishes.

The Mill

Two words: Blueberry. Pancakes. Ever since my friends introduced me to The Mill in Lisbon, I’ve had dreams about those pancakes. The Mill also serves amazing banana bread and a wide variety of breakfast favorites like toasts, bagels, bowls, and rostis with poached egg. It’s located on the popular Rua do Poço dos Negros and if you sit near the window, you can watch the yellow Lisbon tram roll past while you eat.

If you want to check out a showstopping brunch cafe in Lisbon, head to the beautifully decorated and plant-filled Maria Food Hub in Anjos. Maria Food Hub is a stunningly tall cafe with art, sculptures, and plants stretching high up to the ceiling. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and presented with love. After the meal, a server came by with a tray of desserts and bakery items to choose from. From the atmosphere to the delicious food, Maria Food Hub is one I hope to visit again soon.

My Mother’s Daughters

My Mother’s Daughters is one of Lisbon’s best brunch spots for vegans and vegetarians. They offer a small but heartfelt menu, and I loved trying the earth bowl and “elixirs” made from fresh juices. Every item that came to the table was beautiful and my friend and I loved sitting outside in the cute patio area surrounded by plants. A must-visit if you’re looking for vegan options in Lisbon.

Fauna e Flora is one of the most popular and busy brunch places in Lisbon, but the lively atmosphere makes it worth a visit. There are locations in Santos and Anjos, and they’re known for having tasty smoothie bowls, egg dishes, and fun pancakes with maple syrup. Best of all, the inside dining area is filled with plants and sunshine.

Honest Greens 

Honest Greens is one of my favorite restaurants in Lisbon and they’re known for their healthy options and affordable prices. Honest Greens has a great breakfast menu in addition to their lunch and dinner options. There are locations at Amoreiras, Avenida, and Parque das Nações and each location is spacious, bright, and open all day. 

Swing by before 11:30am for delicious coffee, breakfast burritos, and toasts. My favorites are the eggs benedict with trufed portobello, the breakfast bowl, and the hummus to share (but you don’t have to share it if you don’t want to). If you work remotely, it’s the perfect place to get some work done with a coffee and a giant chocolate chip cookie.

Neighbourhood Cafe

This Australian-Portuguese cafe is the perfect place to kick off your morning. We first discovered this place because we walked past the outside and it smelled so good we had to go in and see what was on the menu. 

For breakfast at Neighbourhood Cafe, I love the fruit and yogurt bowl, breakfast burrito, chia pudding, and avocado toast with spicy kimchi. In the afternoon, they serve amazing burgers and veggie burgers. They also have a cozy inside eating space and an outdoor patio with views of Rua das Flores. You can’t miss the banana bread, toasted with butter.

Cafe Janis

For one of the best cappuccinos in town, head to Café Janis. This flower-covered cafe and coffee shop is located close to the Time Out Market in the center of Lisbon and, on more than one occasion, my friends and I have walked halfway across town just to grab a coffee here. There’s a charming outdoor terrace and inside feels like you’re in a treehouse. Make sure to try the goat cheese Shakshuka.

Copenhagen Coffee

If you need a quick brunch in Lisbon, Copenhagen Coffee is a great place to stop. With hot breakfast dishes, sandwiches, bowls, and bakery items, Copenhagen Coffee is quick and easy, and there’s usually good seating with space for laptops if you want to get some work done. I like the hummus and roasted veggie toast, and their fresh bread selection can’t be beaten.

Pastéis de Belém

No trip to Lisbon would be complete without trying a pastel de nata, and the Pastéis de Belém shop has one of the best. Catch the bus from the city center out to Belem and hop in line to grab pastéis and coffee at this adorable and delicious pastry shop. I like mine with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and cinnamon on top.
