Take a break at Nicola, a classic Lisbon address with an old-world atmosphere and a sought-after terrace. Order a coffee or a sangria and enjoy generous Portuguese plates while the city passes by.
Full description
Nicola is a long-established Portuguese cafe-restaurant that works as much for a coffee break as for a full meal. Reviewers mention generous portions, good sangria, excellent coffee and attentive service, along with a beautiful interior and an outdoor seating area good for people-watching.
Brunch items get mixed comments, with one reviewer finding a smoothie served warm, so expectations are best set around the atmosphere and classic menu. With over 7,000 reviews and a 4.4 rating, it is a busy, popular stop that suits couples.

We had Patricia as our server and she was wonderful! She helped explain the different menus, highlighted specials and informed us about happy hour! Truly a wonderful woman with exceptional service, Patricia made our visit to Nicola incredible.
