Double Trouble
“An old-school cafe with Brazilian roots, good coffee, and a standout tamago sando on homemade brioche. Almost everything is made in-house, from the chai latte and broa de milho to the cakes—the coconut cake is worth saving room for.”

O Palmeiral · Lisbon
O Palmeiral
“A postcard setting in Príncipe Real: an 1870s grocery shop–turned-restaurant, with its original cabinets still intact. Good food (whether you opt for the set menu or à la carte), music, and an atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time.”

Ramen House Aska · Lisbon
Ramen House Aska
“An authentic Japanese ramen spot. I first tried Aska’s ramen three years ago when she had just a few tables in a much smaller space. She’s since moved to a bigger spot but still operates with the same precision, making everything herself, from the fermented noodles to the kimchi and mochi, and bringing a little taste of her native Japan to Lisbon.”

Bryon Studios · Lisbon
Bryon Studios
“A design studio focused on printed and hand-painted textiles that’s also a shop featuring both the textiles and a curated selection of home goods, objects, and design. I often drop by to browse the finds or catch one of the creative workshops and events.”
Absent London
“A third space to spend some time away from screens. Read a book, play board games, puzzle, draw, or sit around—just no digital screens allowed. They also host quiz nights, comedy shows, and other events.”
