🥬Vegetarian/Vegan Friendly
The name says it all: if you love breakfast, this is the place for you.
Everything is fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. The spaces themselves cozy, welcoming, and comfortable. The menu has something for everyone, and small portions are available for many options, so you can create your own meal. The Alfama location is a bit tucked away, offers some outdoor seating, and is generally less crowded.
Highly recommend the benedicts and toasts.
Reservations recommended for the Misericórdia location.

My first visit to Manifest was a fail, as I planned to do a little work and they are not laptop friendly, so I opted for another cafe.
But, this ended up being a blessing in disguise, because I ended up going back with friends a few days later and we ordered 5 entrees to share, so I was able to taste half the menu. EVERY SINGLE THING was amazing.
Everything we ordered, from sweet to savory and everything in between was deliscous.
You know when 5 women at brunch go silent, the food is good-good, and we were silent.
⭐Our collective favorites: Duck confit benedict and chicken & waffles.

Four Words: Biscoff Crusted French Toast.
I bookmarked Heim Cafe a over a year ago and finally made it recently for a birthday brunch with a new friend. It was the perfect place to enjoy a great meal in a cute atmosphere with an eclectic crowd. The French toast was incredible, and my friend’s brunch plate was beautiful. I cannot wait to get back and try more of the impressive menu.
Reservations are not accepted, and the wait can be lengthy, but it is absolutely worth it.
Canto - Anti Brunch
🗺️R. Sebastião Saraiva Lima 17, 1170-343 Lisboa
🕰️Wed-Sat 9a-5p, Sun 9a-4p, Mon-Tues Closed
💶€–€€
🥬Vegetarian Friendly
🐶Dog Friendly (“canine cuisine” is available)
A bit off the beaten path, Canto is well worth the trek for the fresh and delicious brunch. The restaurant is a simple and cozy space, and the menu features both unique and classic dishes. The pancakes were some of the best I have had in Lisbon and the baked eggs were flavorful and so satisfying. The lunch menu looks just as enticing as the breakfast menu.
While a bit outside the city center, the location offers the added bonus of not being packed with tourists and not having to wait in a long line (like some of the overhyped brunch spots in the city center).
Sage Brunch

Sage Brunch is a super cute little spot tucked in to the historical streets of Bica. I met a travel friend here for brunch and we loved every bite. Everything was fresh and delicious, well priced, and the service was friendly and kind.
They don’t take reservations on weekends, but we had no problem getting a late morning table for two.

Centrally located and hard to miss on any visit to Lisbon, Neighbourghood not only offers a great casual brunch (and lunch and dinner) menu, it also offers exceptional people watching. You will be hard pressed to find neighborhood locals here, but you will find an eclectic mix of tourists, travelers and expats. It has a very “come as you are” vibe with friendly and accommodating staff, indoor, outdoor, and window seating, and a menu with a bit of everything.
Reservations are not accepted, and this spot gets popular, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. It’s worth it though, I promise.
