    Fruit & Waffle

    What a perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch spot near a hotel area. This cafe was just a short what from the hotel I was staying at during my Portugal visit. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and the staff are friendly. English is not typically the second language of most, so be prepared to speak clearly on your order. You order at the counter and your food and drinks are delivered to your table. Menus are available in English upon request. Everything is made fresh, and portion sizes are just right. I would definitely recommend brunching here.

    Once in a while during your travels, you come across places that make you wish, very much wish, that you have something like this back home. Leitaria Lisboa is one such place. This place is quite an uphill hike from the metro station, but oh so worth it. And I guess it doesn't hurt to build up an appetite. This little cafe is really cute in baby blue and white, and offers delicious bread and pastry, salad, sandwiches, and omelets that are perfectly cooked in that slightly undercooked way, but what I loooove about this place is the yogurt bar. They get their milk from farms in the Azorean islands, and make the yogurt from family recipe. If you are a fan of Greek yogurt you may find this too watery, but I love it the way it is. There are two sizes to choose from; when you order, they use a ladle to scoop the yogurt from a milk can. Then you can add fresh fruits (mostly from Portugal), preserves, honey, and other stuff to it. This bowl of yogurt is the most delicious yogurt I've had in my life. Fresh, simple, smooth, natural. Not even the best yogurt I buy in plastic cups, even expensive ones that cost $3 a cup, measure close to this. Which probably is not surprising once I start reading the labels and see all the guar gum and additives in your supermarket yogurt. I thought the small cup is enough but definitely regret that getting the larger, because it was just too delicious. I feel sad that I live an ocean away. Oh why oh why...

    Nice clean, well designed space - service is kind of slow given the large amounts of people walking around. I got waffles with berries & my fiance wanted avocado toast but they were out of avocados at 10:30am so he got eggs and salmon. The food was ok and the coffee was alright.

    Orange,  chocolate and mint yogurt with cappuccino.

    This was a great find and right down the street from our hotel. The staff is friendly and the food delicious and well priced. We had the yogurt bowls with fruit and coffee. We will be back.

    Modern, casual, clean, friendly and most of all great yogurt make in front of your eyes. You want more? Well their milk is from their own farm. It's like turning the clock backward, pun intended, to the yesteryears. Today happens to be the "fall back" day for Portugal. Wish we could find more natural places like this, anywhere!

    Such a cute place. Be sure to try the traditional Portuguese custard. It really is so good.

    Manteigaria is a charming little shop that delivers one of the most satisfying and authentic pastel…read morede nata experiences you will find in Lisbon. What makes it special is watching the pastries being handmade right in front of you, which adds a level of freshness and craftsmanship that you can actually taste. The service was super fast and friendly. The pastel de nata came out perfectly, with that delicate flaky crust and warm custard that just hits differently when you know it was made moments ago. The espresso was equally impressive, rich and smooth, and the two together make for a simple but near perfect combination. If you are in the area, this is an easy and very satisfying stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Oh no. Am I the only one who doesn't like the pastel de nata custard tarts this restaurant is so…read morefamous for? The crust was super flaky and the tart was nice and warm out of the oven, but I didn't like the flavor of the custard. I did forget to add cinnamon to the top, but I don't think it would have helped me personally. The woman who stood next to me at the counter had a nearly orgasmic experience next to me, so it's obvious that my taste buds are apparently off. I loved the patience of the server, who got confused when I told her I wanted to eat in but wanted to take water to go. Note to self...Portuguese folks want to have their "to go" as "takeaway." What I also didn't know was that there was no place to sit!! I scooted down the counter just like all the other folks to watch the bakers prep the next gozillion pastries for the day. That was interesting. Then, I didn't know how to bus my dishes. I just left them on the counter like all the other folks and went away. I wouldn't skip going because of my personal taste buds, though. Enjoy it for yourself and let me know if you have a different opinion than I did!

Service was great, but the food was mostly all the same bread, with icing/sugar added to it. Pastel de natas were okay, but pale in comparison to the more famous spots. Our cappuccinos were also not that great sadly. Prices were low which was nice. I would grab a snack or two from here if on the go, but probably wouldn't stop and make a meal out of it again.

Fomos lá para o café da manhã e pedimos pão com queijo e presunto na chapa, o pastel de nata com chocolate, biscoitos e a bola de Berlim. Tudo estava muito bom! O pão estava super fresco e crocante por fora, mas macio por dentro, além de ser bem grande. O pastel de nata com chocolate e o melhor que você vai encontrar. Esqueça os pastéis de Belém ou qualquer outro lugar. Sério! Ele é simplesmente incrível! E a bola de Berlim além de ser bem grande, estava super macia e o recheio no ponto certo. Não era doce demais, mas cheio de sabor. Nos gostamos tanto, que voltamos no mesmo dia para comprar nosso lanche da tarde. Para nossa surpresa, a quantidade de itens já estava bem escassa. Pedi o risole de camarão que estava muito bom. Super crocante e com bastante recheio, mas nada gorduroso.Pedimos tb o pastel de nata com chocolate, nosso favorito, e o croissant de chocolate. Tudo que provei estava maravilhoso!
