“It is a small spot almost hidden, but you won't miss the chance to try their "empadas" and a delicious "pastel de nata" with custard and chocolate. A rarity in town!”

“The Delta Q coffee brand's flagship store on Avenida da Liberdade is also a lounge/café with comfortable sofas and long tables inviting you to stay for a cup of coffee or tea. It offers free wi-fi, and if you get hungry it serves light meals (salads, soups, wraps and desserts). The materials used in the décor, such as wood and cork, reflect the brand's focus on the excellence of Portuguese products, also available in the form of olive oils, wines and chocolates, for sale next to its coffee machines. ”

Mediterranean Restaurant

“This is really the place to go and observe families, old people, young people when they have a moment to relax. Outside you're sitting next to some of the most amazing trees I have ever seen in any city. Enjoy a drink, a light meal or just a snack. Musiciens are often sitting playing relaxing music.”

Café
“A mouth-watering chocolate cake and other sweet temptations. "Nonna’s cake” is made of chocolate, and it really is just Nonna’s, since she’s the only one who knows the recipe. She’d been baking it for years before she decided to open this small space in 2015, which was previously a bakery for over eight decades. Part of the interior survives from that bakery (including the beautiful ceiling frescoes), but the decor is all Nonna’s. It’s in the style of “grandma's house,” with an old clock and paintings on the walls, and room for only a dozen people. The cake is served by the slice or in two small squares to accompany coffee, or as an entire cake to take home. There are also muffins, pancakes, cheesecakes and other cakes, which may go together with teas, juices or flavored waters.”

“I went to drink coffee on Sunday morning, cold and rainy day. Find a Sunday open kiosk is already positive on a rainy day, the maximum! I could not drink the coffee, because this one fell all over the table but the 4 stars are by the place and atmosphere”

Persian Restaurant
“Cafeh Tehran serve Persian food. They're close by and a good option if you're travelling with vegetarians and meat lovers together as there are choices for everyone. Usually they suggest a certain amount of dishes to share. I just like their style of food. The deserts are also really good, not too sweet.”
