I was walking around Lisbon one morning as I had to find myself an ATM. On my return back to my hotel, I walked up a staircase which deposited me right in the middle of Adriano, a cafe which has quite an outdoor seating area ... perfect for me to enjoy my morning cigar!
Amanda the server is fantastic! She made sure I was supplied with Coke Zeros, and at around 10:00am, I switched things up to a Cuba Libre and Adriano did not disappoint!
The menu here is classic cafe fare, with something for everyone. They definitely have a captive audience as everyone uses that particular stairway to get to the upper street levels. A bit breezy at times, but I didn't have to relight my cigar TOO much. ;-)
So I made Adriano my morning routine after breakfast at the hotel. Walk down, fire up a stogie, order a Coke Zero from Amanda, and sit back and people watch all morning.
Lovely place, and I'm going to continue this tradition next time I find myself in Lisbon! read more
