Yum, I think i can smell the delicious pastries and coffee from here...

​Located at 120 Rua Garrett, opposite the Baixa Chiado Metro Station subway entrance, the  aroma filled and extravagantly art deco, Café a Brasileira, is popular with both tourists and locals. After introductions by my friend and her husband, I couldn't seem to keep away. I visited the café several times during my visits to the city, sharing as my meeting point, a place to hide from the rain and of course, somewhere to grab a coffee and croissant before heading off to explore Lisbon.

Considering the cafés touristy appeal, the price list wasn't too extreme, for example, a ham and cheese croissant cost €2.70 (table price), a coffee with the best pastel de nata in Lisbon cost €5 (alfresco price), plus the espresso is cheap, priced at €1. Main meals and alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase, albeit a warm beer warning needs to follow... WARM BEER WARNING!

Considering how busy the cafe can be, I surprisingly managed to find seating straight away and the service was rather quick. The premises also has bathrooms located downstairs which are free to use for paying customers (with proof of receipt).

Outside of Café a Brasileira is a hive of activity. The cafe and alfresco area are situated on a busy shopping thoroughfare that is popular with street performers and attracts high foot-traffic, making it a perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

Rua Garrett becomes even more alive at night time with musicians and street performers busking while people dance and enjoy the music outside of Café a Brasileira.
