11 brunch places in Lisbon we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Lisbon | Brunch across every city.
Brunch is a relatively recent import to Lisbon, carried in by a young international crowd and now firmly part of the weekend in the hillside neighbourhoods. Dear Breakfast has settled the format with rooms in Bica and Chiado, while Nicolau Lisboa in Baixa and Cafe Janis down at Cais do Sodre draw long weekend tables. Heim Cafe and Fauna and Flora in Santos round out a scene built more around all-day plates and good coffee than any single tradition.
