PASTELARIA VERSAILLES
It’s one of the most iconic cafés in the city for nearly a century, having been an exclusive space with a doorman selecting patrons. Times have changed and it’s now open to everyone, but it maintains a sophisticated and monumental Art Nouveau décor: mirrors, stucco ceilings, chandeliers and wooden furnishings.
A BRASILEIRA
The most photographed statue in the city stands (sits) outside this café, but that’s not the main attraction. That statue is of poet Fernando Pessoa who frequented this space opened in 1905, and the reason why tourists and locals are still attracted to its tables is because it’s a true Lisbon monument. The interior takes us back to the Belle Epoque, with woodwork, mirrors and modernist paintings.
ANTIGA CONFEITARIA DE BELÉM
It’s one of the must-go spots in the city, a pastry shop that draws all attention to its custard tarts, making everyone overlook the beauty of its interior. With walls covered with blue and white tiles, it’s a space that takes us to the past, all the way to the business’ foundation in 1837.
VERTIGO
Stepping into this café is entering the 1930s or 40s. All decorative details are reminiscent of that era, from the old photographs on the walls to the stained glass ceiling.
CHÁ DA LAPA
Hidden on a street parallel to the Ancient Art Museum, this tea house opened in the 1980s but the décor makes it look like it dates from an earlier time. In the first room are small wrought iron tables and in the second are comfortable sofas against dark-wood walls.
