    Absolutely delicious, fresh, and original brunch food!! Nothing beats the quality of European eggs,…read moreand luckily here they have an "egg-forward" menu. I ordered the halloumi pancake, and was so pleased with how balanced the sweet, savory, and spicy flavors were. The pancake is fluffy and only slightly sweet, and the halloumi is baked into the top, hidden underneath the eggs. The bacon was thin and well cooked, but still chewy. And the avocado was nice and ripe! Others at our table ordered the eggs benedict, which was served on a super thick slice of brioche bread, the scrambled eggs, and the egg sandwich. All were super delicious. The sausage tray bake was "superb" according to my grandfather too! They are also very kind and accommodating here. Our party of 6 had two elderly grandparents, to whom the staff offered seats inside while we waited for a table. The wait was not long at all, and we were all seated within 10 minutes without a reservation.

    Wasn't my favorite place I ate at in Lisboa if I'm honest. Aside from the food not meeting our…read moreexpectations, service was s l o o o o o o w & unorganized. We were some of the first to be seated and the last to be served. Everyone has different palates so maybe you'll love your food. I think the best parts about this place are the architectural style of the building & how close you are to some really cool shops/libraries (check out Salted Books). It was nice to be able to people watch as you peruse through the streets.

    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).
