Kaffeehaus

Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré


Kaffeehaus has a bright interior with classic lines and big windows overlooking a peaceful corner of Chiado, and it’s a favourite eating and drinking spot among a cool but unpretentious crowd. The chalk-scrawled daily specials include big salads, tasty schnitzels and sausages, strudels, cakes and more. Expect big crowds (and great food) at weekend brunches.
