👍 I had a francesinha which was delicious and balanced, yet was expensive (€14.5). I ordered a strawberry fresh juice which was too sweet and watery. Bacalhau de a bras was delicious. The waiter is very nice and friendly. The setting area is nice and simple. People often mention good, castle, nice, coffee,

    Really lovely little café with a nice selection of food and drinks. Seating inside and outside. Staff really friendly. Definitely not a "tourist trap" :-)

    A must after the Sightseeing Tour through the castle... coffee time to relax!!! For me probably the best nata in Lisbon!!! I've try it a lot this trip (from Porto to Lisbon) and till today I didn't know you have to add traditionally cinnamon on top which it makes a huge difference. They close actually around 6pm though on web site description. Stop by and try the best nata un town and probably in Portugal. Coffee is not that good but I only had Cafe latte and as I know evenings is a Expresso more usual... Super friendly personal

    Absolute Empfehlung, abseits in einer kleinen Gasse, super Tapas, sehr nette Atmosphäre, freundliche Kellner und kein Massentourismus. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Wo die Kellner in der Pause das eigene Essen essen muss es gut und authentisch sein. Es werden auch extra Wünsche beachtet, wenn man die Gerichte etwas abändern oder ergänzen möchte. Daumen hoch für das Mercearia Castello und vielen Dank für einen tollen Nachmittag.

    Closed without explanation. I wouldn't be so critical if we wouldn't be thirsty and hungry. If you want to make business and have a good rating on google maps, be updated. For me this behavior is not acceptable.

    We sat down and the waiter told us why did we sit down without saying hi to him. Then he told us to f…ck off! It never happened to me in my whole life!!! Terrible!!!

    Der Service war freundlich, aber das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht. Das Essen war bestenfalls Standard oder etwas darunter und dafür leider zu teuer. Keine Empfehlung.

    Beautiful place next to the castle and with the peacocks. Little tourists. So very peaceful. Lovely staff. Delicious fresh fruit drinks. Perfect place for drinks after a visit to the castle.

    Lovely little place to get snacks and drinks, especially during happy hour. If you’re going to the castle or are staying in the area, def get a drink here.

  • 1/5 Barbora H. 1 year ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Well, we have ordered cappuccino but got this big something with cream on top and it was obviously not even from espresso maker. The taste was artificial. Those two have cost us 8€. Don’t go there of you want a decent coffee. We asked not to pay for the coffee and they accepted it which I must say it's fair of them.

    We sat on the park bench and drank some beer and had the local cherry liquor. They were really chill and allowed us to just hang out behind the castle and people watch. We didn't need any food but we think the food would probably be really good as well but the vibe was great and that's what's important when you have gone all the way up the hill. And then you decided to bail on going into the castle because the line was too long. So this is a place to hang out. And get a little flavor next to the castle walls.

    Not a place for coffee. Ordered a cappuccino, not sure how they made it but it tasted artificial and extremely hot. The bill was €4 but apparently they cannot accept payment less than €5 by card. So they added a tip for themselves. They were polite otherwise. But I don't recommend for coffee or inexpensive items without cash.

    Food was alright, didn't love it. Service could have been better - long waiting time despite the place being empty, not great meal timing.

  • 2/5 Aleksandra D. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall this place did not met expectations for the price we paid. Service was nice. We had a tosts with sardine which was ok, and ham and cheese toast which where below the expectations as they where using cheap plant based cheese.

  • 2/5 Anna V. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is good, food is mediocre. Bruschetta is not what you think: it’s baguette with cheese and tomato sauce. Not good for vegans

  • 3/5 Oliver H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Service and a nice play to stay. But I didn’t like the food to much. I had the Bacalao and my son a Pizza Hawaii.

    The happy hour prices seem good however their wines and sangria are terrible. Would not recommend.

    Very pleasant spot, near the castle wall where the peacocks are resting on. Great service, big sangrias for a good price (happy hour)

    We went there to share a drink. We were very well received. These guys are very friendly and their cocktails were good! And you get to hang out with peacocks as well!

👍👍 One of the oldest cafe in Lisbon, founded in 1905. You can choose from huge variety of sweets, bakery and pastry right at the showcase, and they all are fresh. Interior is amazing - feels like you got into antique library. Minimum bill would be around 15€

👍 Nice spot, cool interior, busy at all hours and with a great menu. Juices and smoothies are good, food is hit or miss. Eggs and burger weren’t perfect, but we tried other dishes and they were fine. Reservation is definitely recommended.
