It was recommended to me by a local as the best place to get the Pastel de Nata, a famous Portuguese custard tart. I haven't tried the pastel de nata yet (took two of them away). I will report later on that. Their carrot cake with chocolate glaze was so good, I had to order the second one right away in case I will never have a chance to come back at this cafe. I found the quality of their coffee very good as well. Service is welcoming. The ambience is calm and inviting. P.S. Update on the pastel de nata. It's really really good! Soft enough on top and hard enough at the bottom. There are very few places in Portugal where they take it to such a perfection.

The food was excellent, the service was so attentive. They really wanted us to enjoy ourselves and we did! It was busy but we weren't hurried at all. A beautiful fall night on the patio.

Espaço 39 Degraus is a quaint, cozy cafe hidden inside a building that houses a film museum. I…read morewould never have discovered such a nice eatery without the help of Yelp and some locals who pointed me in the right direction a couple of times once I got into the building. The food was very tasty and my server was helpful in selecting it and then checking on me periodically throughout my meal to see if I needed anything else. One thing that was a little disappointing was that as soon as I was seated, another server brought me a couvert course of breads, butter and cheese. I was delighted to have this to enjoy while my food was prepared. I thought it was complimentary but it was NOT! I saw it was charged as €5 on my bill. Not that I could not pay it but I should have been asked if it was not included. I was obviously not a local as I was speaking another language. Overall, I would recommend Espaço 39 Degraus, and I would dine there again if I had the chance.

He wasn't too convinced of the delicacy at first, and then hit the center of it and 'ooohhed' and 'yummmed' quite a bit while exclaiming 'America needs this kind of food!' It was a nice quick stop. I don't think they take credit cards.
