    Cool little breakfast spot on an off the main drag corner of Lisbon. Simple menu with big flavor. Drink menu as well.

    Delicious blueberry pancakes

    On some travel website noticed this delicious place I felt great artistic atmosphere with airy white interior and when if a few days visited it from overseas, I sat at their giant panoramic window enjoying yellow Lisbon funiculars while drinking Mill's fresh coffee with pancakes and then juice. It's a great atmospheric and delicious place to visit in Lisbon. Cheers!

    Smoked salmon bagel

    Amazing coffee, great food, and super friendly service. The owner's often around and always so kind and welcoming. The vibe is lively but still chill and watching the cable car roll by makes it even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Lisbon!

    Cute little breakfast spot near many of the many attractions in the center of Lisbon. Opens relatively early. Coffee and food were both tasty. It seems to be filled with mostly tourists and that probably explains the higher prices. Servers were very friendly.

    First Impressions: super cute and cozy... would fit right in if it were in Brooklyn or NYC. Clean aesthetic with tasteful decor. Staff was super nice and friendly The Noms: Smoked salmon omelette - salmon was generous and portions were filling. I just wish they put the salmon on top of the omelette so it doesn't get all warmed up from the hot eggs Avocado toast - I can make this way better at home but my sister was craving it. I will say their roasted cherry tomatoes were ever good with a bit of salt and pepper on them B(e)LT - bacon was crisp and portions were generous. I hate when BLTs skimp on the bacon but this spot was good. Pepper jam was really good with the sandwich. Fried egg was just a tad over done and not as much runny yolk as I'd like. Still good tho Banana bread with berries and cream - this was a highlight of the meal. We shared two slices of this and it was the perfect ending to brunch. Not too sweet, the slightly tart berries snd cool cream really made this a top "dessert" experience for me I'm Conclusion: 10/10!" Would recommend. Very filling and satisfying as well. Came on my last morning in Lisbon but would have happily come here for breakfast all the other days I was here if I'd found out about it sooner.

    A thoroughly wonderful breakfast. I had this banana bread with mascarpone and berries, my wife had the small chia bowl. We both had great flat whites. Our server was delightful, she took as much time chatting as we wanted. Highly recommended!

    Absolutely the best breakfast we had the whole time in Portugal and that included staying at a resort in Algarve. The bacon and egg sandwich was bomb! Very fulfilling, on a fresh bagel and the bacon was crisp and truly hand-cut! Then the flat white coffee was so good that I ordered 2! Going back here again one more time on Tuesday before we leave!

    The food and service was great at The Mill. The restaurant is small so seating is tight, but overall a great place for a coffee or breakfast.

    I stayed across the street from The Mill and was mad that I did not visit more often. The Mill is a hip, trendy cafe with a great ambience. I was able to visit twice and really enjoyed it. It does get busy, so you will likely have a wait. The first time, I came in the afternoon, and ordered a cappucino and some toast. I had just arrived from an awful plane ride and was looking forward to relaxing. The cappuccino was great but my toast never arrived. My server eventually said something to me, but at that point, I didn't want it. I returned the next morning and ordered a cappuccino and the blueberry pancakes. Again, a perfect cappuccino and the pancakes (we'd probably think of them more as a Dutch baby) were tasty and filling. I wanted to return to try the avocado toast, but didn't get to. When I return to Lisbon, I will be back here.

    Food was fantastic! The blueberry pancakes are the best I have ever had, and my friend thought the Classic brunch was good as well! Service was friendly, ambiance was lively and overall a great experience!

    What a first breakfast for us in Lisbon in this nice little coffee shop. We ordered a bunch of things as you can see in the pictures. Everything tasted great. Everything was a bit pricy as it costed us 40+ euro for the breakfast but it was well worth it. Portions were great. So was taste. Not too salty, not too sweet, not too greasy. It was just so healthy and tasty. I can't get over the fact that olive oil tastes so refreshing anywhere I eat here. The guy at that cafe was super nice. He helped with some questions for our trip to Sintra and recommended me to use Bolt instead of Uber.

    Hands down one of the best places for brunch - we did takeout and they were so accommodating! The coffee is AMAZING

    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.

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.

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!

My daughters loved the lazy salmon and disco mushroom. The space is small and tightly packed; they converted a two-person table into a three-person one and seated me on a stool. I appreciated the creativity since it got us seated sooner.

I typically try to avoid overly touristy spots, but this time I had to rely on Yelp, TikTok, and Google to guide me. While the food scene overall didn't completely win me over, Seagull Method Café stood out in a big way -- this was hands-down the best meal I had in Lisbon. Located in a charming pink building on a quiet street, the café has a cozy, casual vibe. After a bit of a walk uphill, we were seated at a small table by an open window that overlooked the street. The interior is stylish yet relaxed, full of personality and the kind of place you could easily settle into for a slow brunch or an afternoon coffee. Service was on the slower side -- it took a while to get our check and there was a bit of waiting between ordering and receiving our food -- but our waitress was friendly and welcoming. She offered a couple of recommendations that we wouldn't have chosen on our own, and I'm so glad we trusted her. We shared two dishes between the two of us, one sweet and one savory, and it was more than enough. * The savory dish featured corn fritters served with an avocado tomatillo sauce. They were crispy, fresh, and absolutely bursting with flavor -- one of those dishes you think about long after the trip is over. * The sweet dish was their take on French toast: a crème brûlée-style toast with a caramelized top, fresh berries, and a luscious whipped cream or cream cheese topping. It was one of the best French toast preparations I've ever had -- perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. To drink, I ordered a chai latte (beautifully spiced and creamy) and a fresh orange juice that was so vibrant it tasted like it had just been squeezed. My sister had a house-made lemonade that was equally refreshing and flavorful. In total, we ordered six beverages and two full meals, and I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the final bill was for the quality and quantity. Although Seagull Method Café doesn't seem to be featured on every "must-try" list, it absolutely should be. When we left, there was a line wrapped around the building, which tells me the locals are in on the secret. Our server also mentioned they have a sister restaurant called POMME Eatery, which we didn't have time to visit -- but based on this meal, I wouldn't hesitate to check it out next time. If this café were in Florida, I'd be a regular. For now, it remains one of my favorite hidden gems in Lisbon -- a place I'd go back to in a heartbeat.
