    Earth Sea and Sky Toast
    Leslie H.

    An excellent brunch option if you're staying in the Alfalma area! Situated a few steps and staircase down from the Lisbon Cathedral, this is the ideal spot to fuel up before a full day of sightseeing. We got the Pulvo (Octopus) Benedict and the Earth Sea Sky Toast, both of which were delicious -- even as someone who's not typically a big brunch person, I licked my plate clean. The octopus benedict included a generous helping of tender, meaty tentacles with an accompanying tangy sauce on the side, while the Earth Sea Sky Toast featured a medley of ingredients including cream cheese on sourdough with pickled veggies, a poached egg, lox and avo spread for a tasty blend of textures and flavors. In addition to numerous coffee options, they also have a variety of freshly pressed juices-- we got the Raddish, which was a blend of carrot, beet and ginger, super refreshing! I also got the latte which was good but kinda wished I had sampled another fresh fruit juice instead. I've read numerous reviews about long waits but we arrived around 9am on a weekday with no line or wait whatsoever so I imagine the volume picks up on weekends and perhaps mid-day. Service was friendly and efficient and there are also clean bathrooms available. Highly recommend Breakfast Lovers if you wish to sample the Lisbon brunch scene -- the food is certainly as yummy as it is Instagrammable (:

    caramel pancakes

    Great place to start the day. It was pretty empty when they first opened but started to fill up as the morning went on. The pancakes were fluffy and coated in toppings. The juices were fresh, and the eggs came with a refreshing salad. I'd recommend if you are looking for a solid breakfast

    We stopped by here on our first day in Lisbon and the food was great! We were able to walk in without a reservation and the food came within 15 minutes. The Eggs Benedicts were cooked perfectly and the prices are fair. Definitely recommend it!

    Cute cafe with nice decor. We didnt have a reservation but we were seated right away. There werent that many people working so service was a little slow and they ran out of something we ordered so they gave us some pancakes on the house which was very nice! The food was very tasty and filling. We got the shrimp and salmon benedicts and an acai bowl. Everything was good

    Açaí bowl - delicious

    Visited 6/11/25. Breakfast Lovers is a delight and I would definitely recommend if you are in Lisbon! My mom and I split the breakfast combo which included a hot coffee drink, a cold coffee drink, a mini açaí bowl, a savory breakfast item (avocado toast or a Benedict), and a dessert (we got a mini stack of the caramel pancakes). This special was perfect for the both of us and we thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ate. My sister got an avocado toast which she loved as well. It does get slightly busier here so get there earlier as needed.

    Love this place!

    If you're a breakfast lover visiting Alfama, this is your must-visit spot! Tucked away in the charming cobblestone streets, this cozy café is the perfect blend of authentic Lisbon vibes and mouthwatering breakfast delights. You would probably walk right by it if you weren't looking for it. It's a hidden gem down some random looking stairs. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Their menu is a dream come true for breakfast enthusiasts: various Eggs Benedict options, flaky pastel de nata, buttery croissants, hearty avocado toast, and traditional Portuguese bread with homemade jams. The souffle like pancakes are perfect. So many to choose from, you'll need to visit Breakfast Lovers more than just once while you're here. The coffee art is as wonderful as the coffee itself. The Menu Breakfast for 19€ was my favorite option on the menu. Choice of hot or cold drink, 3 eggs any way, potatoes or breads with jam, guacamole, ham and cheese or fresh cheese. Protein choices include bacon, shrimp, salmon and more. For dessert you can choose from 3 different pancakes or a Acai Bowl. The breakfast included a yummy salad with pickled onions. The atmosphere is unbeatable--think sun-drenched windows, rustic decor in a below ground section of a cathedral, and a vibe that invites you to linger a little longer. It's perfect whether you're starting your day or enjoying a leisurely brunch. Breakfast in Alfama doesn't get better than this. Highly recommended for foodies, coffee lovers, and anyone who wants to start their day with a smile. I'll definitely be back! Open from 8-4

    Honestly, I started out with 4 out of 5 stars. Food was tasty. They charge for tap water. Poor WiFi signal when you sit inside. Dropped to 2 stars for the expense and they force you to use cash saying we prefer cash but not giving you any options to use your card. I will not return and do not recommend a visit.

    If you are looking for a fantastic stop in Lisbon for breakfast (food), look no further. In this charming eatery, you can expect bustle, big portions, and excellent service. Breakfast Lovers has it dialed in. If you think of it, make a reservation, if you don't, like us, plan to wait a bit. We thankfully showed earlier so our wait was minimal. If you show much past 8:30/9 (as a guess) there will be a huge line. You will be sitting close to your fellow Breakfast Lovers as the restaurant is very small but have no fear, it is all part of the experience. Tips: Menus are electronic so make sure someone in your group has a working phone. They prefer cash and while they can take cards, just know, they will ask for cash first. Food: we wished we shared a dish or two between the three of us. Serving size was massive but I wasn't willing to waste my food so I made it work aka, absolutely over ate. Glad I didn't waste one drip of my delicious breakfast though. Fun place! Put this on your list.

    One morning on our trip to Lisbon, Portugal, we decided to stop by breakfast lovers for our morning meal. We surprisingly found it to be one of the BEST places we ate at on the trip! The omelette was the favorite for our group, but we also tried the benny benedict and a few other meals. Other than the food being absolutely incredible, the service was outstanding and we really felt connected to our waitress! They also provide free wifi, and 5 euro bag drop off for any travelers that want to be hands-free while exploring the town. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very warm and inviting, and had a very old fashioned feel to it. Overall this is very high rated on my restaurants in Lisbon, and I recommend that you stop by to try it whenever you're around.

    Had King Benedict and it is amazing! The best breakfast I have ever had. Every single ingredient is well prepared and cooked. Perfect porched egg and savory salmon. Coffee is also great. The dine in experience is great too. It is a popular restaurant so you probably need to get there a little early to grab a seat. The speed of serving is fast. Love the plate decorations. Highly recommend!

    This place is so so adorable and the food was amazing!! It does get very busy there so just be ready to either wait for a table or be a bit squished. We did the build your own and it was delicious. Two drinks, eggs, meat or avocado, either toast or potatoes as a side, and dessert side. Fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing

    They welcomed me in this BEAUTIFUL little restaurant. They put together amazing dishes with very unique and delicious flavors. As a solo traveler I felt welcomed to experience a small adaptation of their culture. I will be back.

    Adorable little cafe that, true to its name, serves up some of the best breakfast and brunch food in Lisbon. I happened across Breakfast Lovers when I was wandering about Lisbon and happened to be feeling a bit peckish just as I saw a super crowded little cafe. Curious what all the hype was about, I popped my head into Breakfast Lovers, and immediately saw why -- the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous, with cute pastel wallpaper and vintage china dotting the walls. The elegant white marble tables were delicately decorated with flowers and candles, and the entire shop just felt so cozy and cute, almost like I was paying a visit to my grandmother. As I looked around, the plates looked equally cute and even more delicious; Breakfast Lovers has a wide selection of benedicts, toasts, smoothie bowls, and pastries, all of which are plated up in the most gorgeous way possible. Their portions are also quite large, so I would recommend getting a couple of things to share. My mom and I ended up splitting a mini acai bowl, latte, and one of their signature toasts. The acai bowl was beautiful, with a variety of fruits (including banana, apple, honeydew, grapes, and mixed berries), and I loved the extra crunch I got from the granola and coconut flakes. It was a little bit watery and a bit lacking in acai, but the fruit was fresh and the presentation lovely. The latte also had some of the most beautiful latte art, and I was grateful that Breakfast Lovers had oat milk (one of the few shops in Lisbon that offer non-dairy milks). The true star of the show was our third item, the earth, sea, and sky toast. It includes two thick, hearty slices of bread topped with smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado mash, pickled onions, tomato, and a perfectly poached egg. It was such a delightful combo of textures and flavors; the cream cheese and pickled onions offered a great tanginess that helped to cut through the richness of the smoked salmon and avocado mash, and the crusty bread was the perfect base to carry all of these soft, mushy ingredients and sop up the leftover yolk that ran out from the poached egg. The tomato and occasional sprigs of lettuce offered a great hit of freshness to balance out how rich and heavy the overall dish is...truly, if you're hoping for a toast that captures all the classic elements, Breakfast Lovers has you covered.

    Thanks to Lisbon, I'm completely reconsidering the idea of brunch as a concept... am I a brunch…read morelover after all??? My favorite thing about how they do it in Portugal is the emphasis on fresh-tasting, quality ingredients and natural fruit juices with generally smaller portions, rather than the massive food-coma-inducing servings that you'll find at many American brunch spots. My search for yet another delicious Lisbon brunch led me to Fauna & Flora, which caught my eye with its aesthetically pleasing menu featuring kataifi "nests", acai/smoothie bowls and unique fruit juice blends. Everything we ended up ordering was as delicious as it looked and sounded on the menu, from the Tropicália pancakes (a light yet indulgent stack layered with coconut and mango cream, topped with a pineapple confit, mint, lemon and coconut flakes) to the intricate Salmon nests (baked avocado with smoked salmon, cucumber pickle set and a perfectly sous vided egg on top over the crunchy kataifi nest for an elaborate and flavorful mix of textures). Between my bf and I, we also ended up ordering three of their natural fruit juices to try the inventive combos (watermelon and mango, acai with goji, banana and berries, etc), which were all delightfully refreshing~ Although it was a bit of a detour from our sightseeing path, Fauna & Flora is definitely worth a visit -- especially for vegan or gluten free diners who will find no shortage of delicious options on their breakfast and lunch menus. If I had more time in Lisbon, I'd absolutely return to try one of their açaí bowls, their juice of the day or one of the enticing lunch bowls that had me tempted even at brunch!

    Five stars for the vibes since the whole place was so cute, but the food and drinks were just okay…read more The pancakes were drenched in syrup, and my portobacon was initially good but then tasted mostly like tangy tomato sauce. The matcha latte was light on matcha flavor so tasted like hot soy milk, but the lemonade was nice and tart (not sweetened).

When we were there about an hour before closure, they did not have a lot of ingredients and could not fully make declared menu items.

The food was fresh and tasty. Some interesting non-food additions to our salad bowls (like inedible flowers), but when in Lisbon... eat the flowers? : ) I got the strawberry ginger lemonade, and it was actually one of the best fresh drinks I have ever had.

We waited an exorbitant amount of time for our food, and while the presentation was cute, the food was tasteless. I asked for a side of the granola just to have something to eat. The ambiance is cute, but unfortunately that's all I give it.
