Cais na Preguiça

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Expect a cosy and welcoming reception at this Portuguese-cuisine restaurant on the border between Baixa and the heart of Alfama. Its trademark dish is the 'lazy meal', a Portuguese approach to brunch consisting of bread, eggs, custard cheese, ham, grilled tomatoes, fresh juice and cake. There is a room on the top floor for larger groups and art exhibitions.
