Easter is just around the corner and will be celebrated on Sunday, April 20th. Until then, there are many brunch offers that we have received in our email, with highlights for family moments that are always great to enjoy. Here’ s our Easter brunch list, with some of the best spots to enjoy a late, hearty lunch.
These brunches are one of the most delicious ways to celebrate this special occasion. Lisbon offers a wide variety of places that combine unique flavors, welcoming atmospheres and, often, themed activities for the little ones.
Whether in luxury hotels or trendy cafés, there are options for all tastes and styles. Let’s get to know them one by one!

Terrace, at Martinhal Lisbon Oriente
The brunch at the restaurant of the Martinhal Lisbon Oriente, one of Lisbon’s newest ATs (Tourist Apartments), filled us up , both in terms of the food served there (with a Mediterranean and Asian base) and the space itself, perfect for families with children, who can play freely on the extensive lawn in front of the terrace (it can be closed on colder days) or take part in activities at the Kids Club, which this Easter will have a fun egg hunt.
We return to the gastronomic offer, which is very extensive and caters for all tastes: it includes handmade pastries, pancakes, fresh bread, various salads and cheeses, seasonal fruit; Asian-inspired street food, including chicken and vegetable gyozas, varied sushi with Uramaki, Hosomaki, Gunkan, Nigiri and Sashimi; and hot dishes with Indian flavors, such as Chicken Malai Tikka or Panner Jalfrezi.
Children will be delighted to know that there’s Spaghetti Bolognese just for them, as well as other delicacies such as Meat Croquettes or Codfish Pasties.
The desserts on offer are even more tempting: there’s a wide range of verrines and, to spread on croissants, waffles and pancakes, there are jams, honey and chocolate.
Oh, and did we mention there’s live music? I can’t tell you how nice it is, after eating all this, to relax and listen to some of the best Brazilian hits… until the middle of the afternoon.
