Despite being sometimes referred to as a Portuguese version of Starbucks, this attractive eatery exudes it own singular brand and character. Located in the city's downtown district, it's actually part of Brown's Boutique Hotel & Apartments reception area, but it takes a second glance to register the fact. With an interior decorated in dark wood and furnished with chunky leather sofas and chairs, this place looks and feels like someone's front room, and the home-style menu reflects the domestic appeal. You can pop in and join hotel guests for a continental breakfast and savour an array of juices, pastries and a wicked hot chocolate, among other tempting goodies, or breeze in for lunch and soup, sandwiches or salad. If it's warm and dry, grab a table on the pavement terrace and indulge in a spot of people watching, Lisbon café society style – great early evening over pasta and a glass or two of wine.
