Tony XerriSeptember 14, 2014Definitely a tourist trap but at least the service was good. A good first stop before exploring Lisbon. Can't go wrong with the coffee and their pastries are pretty fresh.Upvoted 3 days ago
Bianca PericoloJune 21, 2013Delicious food and great service! Not a cheap place, fair prices to eat good Portuguese food. They also have smaller and cheaper dishes. Try the Croquete de Vitela guarnecidos. It's AMAZING!
Rafał MalinowskiJuly 23, 2015This is the oldest cafe in Lisbon. Glass of wine is cheaper then lemonade !
YJanuary 12, 2022Would not recommend this place. The food is average, but it’s overpriced! 20€ for ordinary piece of meat and mushrooms & fries. And: They charged us 2,75€ for a bun, but didn’t tell us in advance!
Sidney KuoDecember 30, 2018Charged 2.75€ for each piece of bread and 7.5€ for each plate of cheese which we didnt know. Then the waiter overcharged us 25€ by doing wrong addition.
Marie-Claude ThiffeaultOctober 8, 2014If you order rabbit - that is excellent, by the way - be aware of the "tourist joke": after your meal, they ask you "so, how did you like the cat? What? You didn't know it was cat?!?!!?" 😉
Luis CastroDecember 30, 2015It's the biggest tourist trap ever. Don't come here. The food and coffee is terrible, prices are actually really high for this really bad food.- Tiago FreitasNovember 28, 2013Feel like Fernando Pessoa in one of the most traditional cafés in Lisbon
A classical since Fernando Pessoa. His favorite though - look inside.
Wie PanJune 4, 2018Rude waiter. Just wanted us to sit at a table. No basic sense of respecting people at all. We did not have to taste the food.
- MitsyMay 1, 2019It’s expensive and the food is bland. Avoid, there are much better restaurants around.
ZeMario - UnoJune 9, 2012Estar em Lisboa e não conhecer o Café é, não conhecer Lisboa! Pessoa amou Lisboa como ninguém! O café Martinho da Arcada é todo ele cheio de recordações e o tempo está parado ali para nosso desfrute!
Hugo RamosJanuary 29, 2012Um restaurante mítico onde se come bem e podemos sentir a presença da arte em todos os cantos. Fernando Pessoa passou ali muito tempo a escrever. Preços um pouco elevados mas compensados pela simpatia
Juanan UrrutiaFebruary 22, 2016Pessoa vive en este café. Lugar mágico donde degustar la cocina portuguesa más tradicional. El bacalhau a braz es sublime...
FlorentJune 1, 2015Café Resto sympa ,un petit menu peu cher sobre et bon le service est rapide et convivial
Mariana PiresDecember 31, 2013O Café mais antigo de Lisboa, existe desde 1782 e era o preferido de Fernando Pessoa. Só por isso já vale a visita!
СашаВяль Barceloner.comJanuary 16, 2013Старейшее кафе Лиссабона, с обязательными писателями по стенам. Вкусно, красиво, но за комплименты внезапно берут много денег.
Rodrigo DavidFebruary 22, 2012Um restaurante onde Pessoa e Saramago passavam tardes escrevendo, merece atenção especial. A comida não surpreende, mas o atendimento é primoroso e o fim de tarde na varanda é imperdível.
Charles R. C. SilvaNovember 20, 2023Provei Rancho à Moda de Viseu. Estabelecido desde 1782, frequentado por Fernando Pessoa e Saramago. Foto na mesa q Pessoa costumava ocupar.
Roberta AlmeidaMay 19, 2017O bacalhau à Brás estava bem gostoso e serve duas pessoas. Pedi o bolinho de bacalhau como entrada mas não achei nada demais, na verdade estava meio frio.
Pedro VidinhaDecember 31, 2016Emblemático e tradicional. Não deixem de provar os pastéis de nata locais
Aqui ao pisarmos o mesmo chão que o poeta António Botto pisou, embarcamos numa viagem mágica neste local de marco histórico. Atendimento atencioso e educado.
Sergio AstronautaMay 14, 2013Comida deliciosa e excelente atendinento! Da entrada a sobremesa, tudo eh muito bom!!
Joan_ne FreitasOctober 28, 2014Prove o pastel de natas. Muito bom. Dizem que era o café preferido de Pessoa...- ZeMario - UnoJune 9, 2012Nos arcos da Praça do Comércio "Terreiro do Paço" - Fundado em 1782, o mais antigo café de Lisboa (seu frequentador mais ilustre: Fernando Pessoa)
Oksana YazykovaOctober 29, 2017Считается лучшим историческим кафе города, но я бы поставила 3. Десерты - замороженные фабричные....
Luis FotografiaAugust 30, 2014Muito bom cafe e dos cafes quando estamos lá parece que recuamos no tempo- ZeMario - UnoJune 9, 2012Bom café, ótimo atendimento, e as lembranças por todo lado! Bonito e aprazível, cheio de curiosidades!
Green6August 24, 2019Bar famoso per le soste di Pessoa. Piatti un po’ complicati per una sosta a pranzo
