From sumptuous buffets at luxury hotels to the capital’s coziest cafés: the definitive guide to the best brunches in Lisbon

The Hyatt Regency Lisbon’s Sunday brunch is back in Belém. Upon arrival, you’ll be served a flute of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne to kick off your meal with a view of the Tagus River.

The buffet-style menu features new dishes and seafood options. You can try the new shrimp buns and stop by the live cooking station dedicated to salmon Wellington, as well as the oyster and ceviche station, cheese boards, charcuterie, and a roast beef focaccia with truffles.

If you can’t do without breakfast classics, the eggs are made to order: Benedict, Florentino, or Royal.

In addition to the initial toast, the menu includes all-you-can-drink beverages. You’ll have unlimited access to white and red wine, draft beer, Bloody Marys, juices, and coffee.

The Palácio do Governador has a new brunch menu that combines late-breakfast classics with the Asian cuisine of the Po Tat restaurant.

The menu, designed by Chef André Santos, breaks away from the traditional format and features hot appetizers focused on Asian and seafood flavors, such as grilled oyster mushrooms with yam and peanut sauce, squid and cockle patties à la Bulhão Pato, chicken wings with shrimp sambal, and duck and kimchi gyoza with Cho-Ganjang sauce.

In addition to Asian specialties, the meal includes the usual selection of cheeses and breads, vegetarian options, hot dishes, and a selection of artisanal pastries.

If you’re looking for a unique, family-friendly dining experience away from the city center—and therefore quite secluded— the brunch served at the Terrace restaurant at Martinhal Lisbon Oriente is simply fantastic… we loved it!

The atmosphere, which is very welcoming and perfect for letting the kids play outdoors thanks to the large lawn next to the patio , was one of the features we appreciated most. It’s clearly designed with families in mind, as it even has a Kids Club offering supervised entertainment.

After all, Sundays are for spending time with family, and it’s important for everyone to have their own space after two or three bites (maybe many more) of a menu that had us drooling from the very first moment.

It’s a buffet-style brunch— which is our favorite because it lets us enjoy everything at our own pace— this brunch offers a mix of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, featuring dishes such as Chicken Malai Tikka or Paneer Jalfrezi, as well as a variety of sushi and sashimi, or even healthier options like vibrant salads, wraps, fresh seafood (oysters and shrimp), and local fish and meats.

As for the little ones, they’ll love the spaghetti Bolognese, as well as the croquettes and codfish cakes.

Throughout the experience, the live music performances really stand out : we were treated to some of the best classics of Brazilian music, which was a delight to listen to while sampling the various dishes.

Viseversa Restaurant Bar serves the VV Brunch as a plated meal, a departure from traditional buffets.

The venue, located next to the reception area at the Hyatt Regency Lisbon, focuses on a meal tailored for midday, and is also available on weekdays.

The menu is divided into two distinct options. You can opt for the Vise menu, designed around healthier and lighter options, or choose the Versa menu, which brings more contemporary combinations to the table.

It’s very easy to walk into AGORA, a beautiful and cozy restaurant near Cais do Sodré. The hardest part is leaving, especially if you go during brunch time , when they serve some of the freshest delicacies in the city.

We tried the Avocado Toast with Cream Cheese, Kimchi Salmon, and Peaches (or other seasonal fruit) (€13); a Kimchi Salmon Salad with Cucumber and Poached Egg (€15); and some Oatmeal Pancakes with Banana (€9)—all served with intense flavors that left us delighted.

This isn’t just any brunch! Located away from downtown Lisbon, the extended breakfast at Praça—situated in the Beato Creative Hub— stands out for featuring ingredients from small local producers.

We’ve already been there to try it out, and we’ll tell you all about our experience in this article.

The term “brunch,” or late breakfast, didn’t even exist yet when this establishment began serving passersby on what is now Rua Cor de Rosa, in Cais do Sodré, over 100 years ago.

The venue retains the same charm as in days gone by, but offers an extensive selection of new and fresh delicacies, especially on weekends, which is when brunch is served at Rio Grande.

We love heading downtown to Lisbon and stopping by Mil Sabores, a restaurant with very friendly staff located on the corner of Rua da Prata and Rua da Vitória, where it’s truly wonderful to relax on the patio while savoring the incredible Mil Sabores Brunch, among other delicacies you can add to this meal.

Inside, it’s also quite comfortable, with plenty of tables and a unique view of the kitchen— the place where everything that makes our day happier comes from, ranging from American-style breakfasts, toasts with all sorts of toppings, pancakes, crepes, and waffles in a thousand and one flavors, plus a handful of poke bowls, wraps , and eggs prepared just the way you like them.

If we can offer one tip to add to your brunch, try the açaí bowl with granola and fruit, the new mini-burgers (Spicy, Chicken, and Salmon), and never leave without indulging in the Nutella Waffle, which features this delicious chocolate spread, banana, strawberries, and a scoop of ice cream in a flavor of your choice. We went with the pastel de nata, and yum, it was an incredible pairing.

Located in the Santos and Intendente neighborhoods, Mila proved to be an incredible brunch experience, with staff always attentive to our needs, whether for comfort or culinary pleasure.

The owner—Mila’s husband, after whom this charming spot is named—told us that it all started as a simple street-side grocery store selling fruits and vegetables. Little by little, people started asking to sit down and eat right there, and before long, the produce shelves gave way to tables, an open kitchen, and a counter, resulting in a beautifully decorated and comfortable space where you’ll really want to hang out.

Overall, our experience was really enjoyable, and we’ll definitely be stopping by more often—especially since it has areas where we can work while indulging in these delicacies.

At the InterContinental Hotel, brunch is served on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.— more than enough time to sample some of the most delicious treats we’ve ever had at a brunch, including the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict; the Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs; or the Pancake with Pumpkin Cream, which is very flavorful and tender—it turned out to be our favorite part of this experience.

There was so much food that we couldn’t even try the Prego no Bolo de Caco, even though it had been highly recommended to us. Luckily , we’ll have to go back there to try it… hehehe!!

You’ll also find the usual seasonal fruits, juices, and smoothies, along with coffee, tea, and herbal teas—not to mention the must-have mimosas— all served in a refined and elegant setting… for just €29 per person.

We’ve been there several times and loved it! It has everything and more, which you can enjoy between 12:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Croissants, brioches, and pains au chocolat; cold cuts; tuna tataki; beef and shrimp tacos; cheeses and sausages; cake slices; crepes; eggs; yogurt; fruit; bread; and the traditional cornbread . We could go on and on, so it’s best if you head over there to try it for yourself one of these coming Sundays.

And, if you’d like, you can bring your four-legged friend along. Mama Shelter is pet-friendly.
