#8 of 11 Cafés & Coffee in Lisbon

$$
Known forhistoric cafelandmarkchiadoliterary history

One of Lisbon's most iconic cafes, open since 1905, famous for its Art Nouveau interior and the bronze statue of Fernando Pessoa outside. Order a bica (espresso) at the bar like a local — it's cheaper standing than seated. The terrace is lovely but heavily touristed, and table service adds a significant markup.
