Flora e Fauna

Príncipe Real, Santos & Estrela


This smart cafe, a welcome 2016 Madrogoa newcomer, attracts a well-heeled crowd for brunch all day. On offer is excellent avocado toast (with wild sautéed mushrooms, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, arugula, greens and roasted sesame or poached egg and scallions), a deep and creative pancake menu, tempting bowls served in stylish ceramic earthenware, and good, single-origin coffee.

The hiply staffed, airy space is flush with potted plants and design-forward touches.
