As a place to meet or a starting point from which to explore the city, Café Lisboa is ideally located: right inside the São Carlos National Theatre. “As well as being attractive, Largo de São Carlos is inspirational. The square is home to the two hundred year-old São Carlos National Theatre, the only theatre in Portugal devoted to opera. Interestingly, it was also in this square that Fernando Pessoa was born. He was a great Portuguese poet for whom I have a particular admiration”, says José Avillez.

INDOOR ROOM AND TERRACE
While Café Lisboa evokes the charm of traditional cafés, at the same time it transports us to the Lisbon of today. Café Lisboa has two spaces: a room inside the Theatre which captures the charm of this extraordinary late 18th century building and a magnificent, inviting terrace.

LUNCH, DINE, SNACK OR HAVE A DRINK AT ANY TIME,
FROM 12 NOON TO 12 MIDNIGHT, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
“Café Lisboa is designed to suit the lifestyle of those who live in the city and those who visit it. So, at Café Lisboa you can eat a meal, snack or have a drink at any time from 12 noon to 12 midnight everyday from Monday to Sunday” explained José. The Cocktail List is advised by Dave Palethorpe, owner of the Cinco Lounge cocktail bar The Cocktail List features cocktails created specially for Café Lisboa such as Dona Antónia (in honour of Antónia Adelaide Ferreira), among others.
