This blog post was originally posted on November 29, 2018 and was updated\u00a0on September 17, 2020.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At Devour Lisbon, we\u2019re all about tradition\u2014and we\u2019re the first to admit that a big, hearty mid-morning meal is not among Portugal\u2019s classic culinary customs. But we also know that the globalization of certain food trends can be a good thing\u2026 and when it comes to brunch, we\u2019re firmly in favor. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n All you have to do is get a taste of the best brunch in Lisbon at one of these spots, and you\u2019ll see why!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Maybe you\u2019ve just awoken after a long night partying in Bairro Alto<\/a> or a late-night bar crawl. Or maybe you just want to catch up with some friends and enjoy a long, luxurious meal in the late morning sunlight. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whatever your mood, brunch is always a good idea\u2014so we\u2019ve sniffed out the city\u2019s best caf\u00e9s to satisfy every craving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Heim<\/a>\u2019s vibrant cuisine pops out against a backdrop of chic, minimalist style. Here you\u2019ll find healthy options like quinoa patties and granola\u2026 but also the polar opposite. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The “Sunday Breakfast” includes two eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, tomato, fried mushrooms and beans\u2014all for less than \u20ac9. For something sweet, go for a stack of pancakes topped with berries and coffee cream, or waffles drizzled in homemade caramel sauce. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Other great options at Heim include perusing the \u201ctoast bar\u201d for a light snack, and sipping on a gal\u00e3o<\/em> (Portuguese latte) or flavored lemonade. Your options are endless, and all of them are delicious.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re in search of variety, look no further. Highlights of brunch at Zenith<\/a> include beet hummus, Brazilian a\u00e7a\u00ed, and peanut butter and berry croissants, just to name a few. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n But the extensive menu also offers eggs and toast with every add-on imaginable; hearty salad bowls; superfood lattes and brunch-friendly cocktails. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Feeling adventurous? Try the francesinha<\/em> pancake: topped with bacon, chicken, cheese, a fried egg and special sauce to imitate the legendary Portuguese sandwich<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This cute caf\u00e9 offers a unique fusion of Australian and Portuguese fare, complemented by some of the best coffee in Lisbon<\/a>. Order a plate of poached eggs, avocado, sweet corn fritters and bacon, or go for a lighter treat like chia porridge, Bircher muesli or Vegemite on toast. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Everything at The Mill<\/a> is made with locally sourced ingredients, and the menu includes local specialties like piri piri<\/a><\/em> chicken<\/a> and chouri\u00e7o<\/em>. Wash it down with a fresh smoothie or a Portuguese Buck’s Fizz (orange juice with a double dose of espumante<\/em>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re a fan of colorful, Instagram-friendly brunch, you\u2019ll love Nicolau<\/a>. The aesthetic here couldn\u2019t be any cuter, with pastels, pretty patterns and tropical plants galore, and the menu features everything from tapioca crepes to protein-packed \u201cpower bowls.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For \u20ac14, the set brunch menu includes a pancake, a yogurt bowl, fresh orange juice, coffee or tea, and toast topped with avocado or smoked salmon and cheese. You can even add a mimosa or Bellini for just \u20ac4. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whether you want to eat clean or indulge (ahem<\/em>, red velvet pancakes), you\u2019ll leave full and happy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You might say Kafeine<\/a> is off the beaten (tourist) path<\/a>; it\u2019s located in the food court of a shopping mall. But once you\u2019ve found it, you\u2019ll never want to leave. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Despite the fact that it\u2019s below ground level, the atmosphere is wonderfully bright and cozy. Try the eggs Benedict or a trio of shrimp tacos; a gourmet cheeseburger or an avocado croissant. Or go for the set brunch menu: toast with your choice of toppings, yogurt with granola and fruit, a pancake, and orange juice or a hot drink. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n No matter what you order, just make sure to save room for what they claim is \u201cLisbon\u2019s gooiest brownie\u201d!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Are you coming to Lisbon?<\/strong>These six spots for the best brunch in Lisbon combine classic treats with some unique Portuguese twists.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
