Another brunch place with a nice little outside eating area, has a bit more lunch options though. Very healthy and organic food. Highly recommend! Also really good pancakes! Gets pretty busy but is literally next to the house, at the bottom of Rua das Trinas, which is where taxi's would drip you off.

PASTEIS DE NATA!
You WILL have to have one if you come to Lisbon.
The traditional ones are in Belem (Pasteis de Belem) but let me tell you something from someone who lives here, yes the factory is nice and all BUT the queue is gigantic, you can easily spend an hour there and quite honestly I find that the ones at Manteigaria are waay better! They are also more central, so that you can have it more than once.

Drinks & Nightlife
Mainly bars but also some places where you can go dance. This is great, especially on summer nights, but you will always find tourists and locals going there for a drink or two, or three... Cheap drinks and many many bars.

Nice club, with three levels, each one with a different music. Right at the top is a rooftop, which is amazing to see the sunrise, as there is an amazing view. The bar at the rooftop also has Luxini's (depends on season) which are Santini ice-cream with Vodka. Dress code is a bit strict, so be sure to dress nicely.

One of the best rooftops in the city, at least for me. Used to be the last level of a parking lot. Gets veeery full, but really worth a visit. The view is just speechless, if you go in the late afternoon and manage to catch the sunset is the best. Later at night they have a DJ playing old school music and you can check online the kind of music that is playing each night. Closed on Sundays.
If you like strawberry mojito, trust me, try it here cause its simply the best!!
