While brunch culture is huge at home in the States, not everywhere abroad has adopted the same bottomless mimosas and avo on toast brunch-tastic delicacies.

“Brunch is breakfast without an alarm.”

That is, except for Lisbon. I have yet to visit another continental European city that embraces brunch as much as Americans do. But I mean hey, prove me wrong! I love me some brunch so if you know any other brunch hotspots in the world let me know in the comments below.

But first, let’s take a look at some of the  best brunch spots in Lisbon!

Best  Brunch & Breakfast Spots in Lisbon

My personal favorites…

The Mill

Address: R. do Poço dos Negros 1, 1200-335

This Lisbon establishment is a favorite for locals and visitors alike, so be prepared for a line going out the door. But if you can handle the wait you will not be disappointed. The Mill is an Australian-Portuguese café serving all the fresh, delicious brunch food you could ever want in a trendy, minimalist setting.

Augusto Lisboa

Address: Rua Santa M.nha 26, 1100-491

So let’s take a second to say how in awe I am of the decor all throughout Lisbon. The colorful tiles adorning every corner exterior are a boho lovers dream. The interior of Augusto Lisboa is everything I’m craving my own home to look like one day, down to the patterned dishware and gold cutlery.

Besides geeking out on the design, the food is even better. With a hankering for some avocado, I ordered the traditional avo on toast but WOWOWWOW, was this one of the best avo toasts I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

Break

Address: Rua do Poco dos Negros 73

In all honesty, we were trying to hit up another brunch establishment down the street. But when we found out there was an 1+ hour wait, our hungry stomachs were not having it. Thankfully Break was right around the corner with only a few people in line. However, we were pleasantly surprised by this super delicious alternative. And another pristine example of the adorable, bright Lisbon interior design.
