By far the best chocolate cake in this world and lives up to its title! I went to this little gem three times and almost packed cake to fly back to the US. Service is fast and friendly! They were always out of hot chocolate though. This is a cute date spot with comfy couches and chairs to sit on. It's a little dark but definitely a chic vibe. I highly recommend since you'll never look another chocolate cake again!
Went here because of a co-worker's recommendation. The only food item sold at this cafe is their signature chocolate cake slices. They do however offer various hot and cold beverages. Interior is homey with couches, dim lights, flowers and paintings. We each ordered a slice of their famous chocolate cake, and it was the best I've ever had! The cake portion was moist and melted in your mouth. The mousse portion was so smooth and creamy. The slices were topped with bittersweet dark cocoa powder, which balanced out the sweetness from the rest of the dessert. So sad they don't have this in the US, also sad I couldn't transport this back home.
We heard that Landeau has the best chocolate cake in the world, and since we were staying in a hotel right next door, we knew we had to try it. The space is intimate and cozy, but we came around 1:00 pm and we were able to fine a table easily. The chocolate cake is the only food option on the menu, along with coffee and drink options. The chocolate cake was more of a mousse texture but it was definitely rich, chocolaty, and decadent. We loved it so much that we got a piece to go. But, if you don't like the soft mousse texture, this may not be your type of cake.
This is some omg chocolate cake, so I highly highly suggest you get 2 slices if you're in the area. We just so happened to be waiting for a reservation across the street when I noticed the sign outside read something to the effect of "devilishly good chocolate cake". Since I was on vacation, I knew I'd regret not putting that claim to the test. Spoiler alert, it did not let me down. It was shaped more like a shallower cheesecake slice, but It was so rich and creamy, with a cocoa like powder on top. They say cake, but I wouldn't think of it as a light and fluffy American style cake, this was more like a flourless cake if you ask me. What I lack in confidence in describing this cake's texture, I can more than make up for it when describing the taste-it was ridiculously good. The two associates working, one may have been the manager or owner, were so friendly and welcoming. We sat and chatted with them for some time as they were complete strangers to Yelp. The cake slice was pretty inexpensive, and although not very large, the flavor was perfect. Enjoy. Try By The Wine across the street-you will not regret it. Enjoy! Thanks Landeau!
We didn't dine in but the inside was very nice with modern decor. They have the most delicious, dense, and decadent chocolate cake. It was so rich, one slice is more than enough. We bought a whole cake for a friend's birthday. Service was quick, once we ordered it we got the cake immediately. The price was a bit high but it was so worth it!!
My friend recommended me to try chocolate cake when I was in Lisbon and said Landeau had one of the best ones. We stopped by for a mid afternoon snack break after walking around Lisbon and entered a nice little cozy cafe with plenty of seating. We ordered our slices of chocolate cake at the counter and it really lives up to its hype. The cake was soft and light but full of flavor and with the right amount of sweetness. It was the perfect snack to pair with an afternoon coffee. I would totally recommend anyone visiting Lisbon to stop by!
What is there to say about this cool dessert spot? The atmosphere is modern, the service was great, and the only real options for food are a piece of delicious chocolate cake. There is something nice about a place serving one item (and drinks) and it being so good that you want to come back for more. The cake is decadent and rich, almost like a torte but more cake like. I'd recommend coming here as a pre dinner snack or for dessert. The cake itself isn't too filling although you get a pretty decent sized piece. Im glad we tried it and would recommend everyone try a slice for themselves!
This place is soooooo adorable!!!! Very chill atmosphere. Ordered the famous chocolate cake. Was kinda leery since I saw a recommendation flood of it on Instagram. I have zero regrets ordering the slice. Honestly, it was the highlight of my visit to Portugal. Very rich, sweet and smooth. It was heaven in my mouth. You will have zero regrets ordering it!!!!!
Mon Dieu! The chocolate cake (4,10 euros) is delicious and luxurious. So delicious I went twice because I couldn't resist it. The layers are complex and together make for an out of this world experience for a chocolate lover. If my schedule would have allowed it, I would have visited a third time. I also tried their hot chocolate (with milk). It was extremely chocolatey in the best way, but I recommend you pace yourself for balance--do the chocolate cake and come back for the hot chocolate at another time. I did "carry away" both times (they charge a small fee for the compostable containers) because I wanted to have the cake in the comfort of my bed and after dinner. Ahhhh, the life! However, the cafe space is very inviting and moody, 100% cozy vibes. Do yourself a favor and get your own slice of cake! This is not something I ever want to share. Can't wait to go back to Landeau when I am in Lisbon again.
I heard about this place from a friend and saw that the chocolate cake was popular! It was decadent and delicious and rich with chocolate. The chocolate mousse layer with the cocoa powder on top pairs well together. The service is good and fast and there are many seats to enjoy the chocolate confections.
Amazing chocolate cake. Not even exaggerating, the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted. My only regret is that I tried this cake in my literal last hours in Lisbon. The store is minimal-chic in the best way. Cannot wait to visit Lisbon again and have this heavenly cake every day.
I only have one regret from my trip to Lisbon and it's not trying their chocolate cake. We were walking by this place and I saw the word "chocolate" outside and decided I need to go in. I thought it was a store selling chocolate. I wish I had checked their Yelp page so I would have known that they're famous for chocolate cake. We ordered the mocha and really liked it. I got a glimpse of someone eating chocolate cake, I studied their faces and didn't see major excitement so I thought okay, I don't need to try the cake. BIG MISTAKE. Now I am haunted forever thinking I passed on this chocolate cake. The place is really cool and has unique architecture including awesome ceiling. I loved their decor which was very cozy and the inviting. If I come back to Lisbon this will be my first stop.
I'm typically not a huge chocolate cake fan because I am usually underwhelmed by the chocolate taste however they are doing it right here!! It is a rich chocolate cake that is somehow not too sweet but also not bitter. Thr bottom layer is a denser cake layer but the top is a velvety mouse layer. Absolutely delicious combination, one slice is enough to share because of how decadent it is!
Rightly said - the best chocolate cake you'll ever try! Every slice is perfect! They only sell one kind of cake which is the chocolate cake - not too sweet neither too creamy, just perfect! Quick service! We were in line for probably 8-10 mins before we could order. Highly recommend this place. read more
When you're making the best chocolate cake in the world, why would your menu be large or complicated? That is exactly the "good" problem Landeau has as besides their famous chocolate cake, all they have are beverages, inadvertently making their sign outside with the proclamation "When in doubt, try chocolate cake!" kind of hilarious. Once you've huffed and puffed your way up one of Lisbon's stairmaster hills, the darkened and vintage feeling interior of this particular Landeau feels very welcome. Although there is ample seating for the size of this store, the ample line of people waiting to get in from the outside might make getting a seat difficult nonetheless. I do like the regular lattes here but let's face it, any beverage you get here is really meant to be a sidekick to the main star of the show, Landeau's famous chocolate cake. And it is indeed, the best slice of chocolate cake you'll ever have, and that is not hyperbole. Layered and textured, but pillowy and light, it's really difficult to describe what a beautiful heavenly experience eating a chocolate cake at Landeau is. It's like treating your mouth to the most sumptuous and comforting experience it's ever going to have when eating something and you never want to end. And for under 5 euros, it almost feels like a steal. I really do consider going to a Landeau one of the highlights of my trip to Lisbon and urge everyone to put it on their must eats here. Even yes, over the egg tarts. read more

Wandering around Lisbon and didn't even know about Landeau possibly being the best chocolate cake in the world when I saw it. The NYT reference and a quick google search told me Dorie Greenspan once said this cake saved her vacation, so hiking back up the hill it was a no brainer to stop. WOW. And I don't even really love chocolate, but it was truly the best I've had. Cute spot, fast service, but the cake is the only thing to get and all you need. Try it. And try it again. Highly recommend! I'll try and make Dorie's recipe based on it, because it's a long way back to Lisbon. But when I go, I will be back! read more

This little shop is easy to miss in the Lx factory. We accidentally found this as we were looking up reviews on Tripadvisor for another restaurant. We're so glad we brought one back to our hotel. It's probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. Perfectly moist and light, but still a rich chocolate. I would definitely come back for this and regret I didn't find it earlier on my trip. Ambiance was cozy and the decor was interesting. The guy in the counter asked if we were sure about only ordering one and now I know why. This is a definite must have in Lisbon! read more

Fantastic place, great ambience, super nice staff, and the chocolate cake is amazing! We got there just before closing and hadn't had dinner yet so bought 2 slices of their signature chocolate cake to go. The box was super cute and came with 2 eco-friendly wooden sporks. Left it in our air B&B until we got home from dinner and dug right in. The cake was decadent to say the least. Really wished we had some large frosty glasses of milk or a nice red wine. But last night in Portugal so had to settle for some water. Super rich chocolate, just the right amount of sweet so not overwhelming. The chocolate powder on top was a great touch to the chocolate mousse underneath and the chocolate cake underneat that. Highly recommend this for dessert if you can but they close by 7pm so watch the time! read more
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone by now knows about the chocolate cake... And if you think I'm gonna write a review of this chocolate cake that everyone raves about, well then... Yeah, you're right, that's what imma do. It's just as good as everyone says. Really. Maybe even better. It's got multiple layers, covered in cocoa powder, it's delicious. Don't get the iced coffee tho. Literally just a shot of coffee with two ice cubes. But the cake... Get the cake tho. read more

Incredible! The cafe wasn't as crowded as I expected which was really nice. Easy to find - not on a super touristic street though. Loved the cake - it was absolutely amazing. Customer service was great. Lots of seats available. 10/10 would recommend! read more
One of my top 10 best chocolate cakes in my life! For 3.50 euros, you can have the slice of deliciousness. It's light but rich at the same time. Dark, not too sweet, and the amazing mix of layers including powder, mousse and cake - so good! It's truly perfect :) read more

One of the best chocolate cakes ever. It's rich yet somehow light and has the perfect amount of sweetness! The cafe also had strong (thank goodness) coffee, relative to all of the weak lattes I had been drinking all over the city. It's a perfect resting point en route from Cais do Sodre to Chiado! read more

Incredible chocolate cake! We were blown away by this wonderful dessert, so light and yet so rich, with amazing complexity and textures! There is a reason it comes so high recommended and it certainly lives up to its reputation. We also sampled the coffee and the hot chocolate, all of it so very good! Do not miss that cake! read more
