This was a very nice place to sit in the sunshine and have a couple beers. Staff were good. It’s nothing special but I love these little outdoor food drink spots you get all over Portugal. It feels part of the culture.

Yasmin Portman

Beautiful little find on our first day in Lisbon. Fantastic selection of drinks, well priced. Highly recommend the sangria. Nice little spot to sit in the sun and relax. Staff were very friendly. A children's play park next to the seating area. Dog friendly. Highly recommend

Diogenes Freitas

Great spot if you want a drink after visiting the busy Time Out market. We had wine, beer and coffee. Did not try the food here as we ate the Time Out market before. The ambience was also great - It was Saturday late afternoon and they had a live DJ playing some great chill beats.

Ryan Novotni

Quaint little outdoor cafe serving alcoholic beverages, drinks, and light food. It’s located in a super pretty park next to Time Out Market, and everybody seemed to be having a good time and enjoying life! A nice change of pace from some of what I see here in the US.

Rhino

Another cool little kiosk in the heart of Lisbon. Brought an €8 Caipiroska to take away. It came in a very large plastic cup filled to the brim and was pretty good. Would be a nice place to hang on a clear evening.

Heath Newburn

Great outside space for people watching. Cheap drinks, good service, fantastic place to spend a pleasant day

Sean Fowler

Lovely peaceful cafe in a square/small park in Lisbon. Cheerful happy staff who did everything possible to make our visit a happy memory. It was the first place we stopped at having arrived from a cold, wet and miserable GB and to be able to relax in the sun on a Sunday morning was fantastic. We will no doubt visit here again on arrival next time in Portugal.

Debora Viertel

People are nice and attentive. Drink is good for the price. The DJ played amazing music would like to have danced but most people just sit. Give this DJ a evening spot to play his music
