About Café A Brasileira
Historic 1905 Art Deco café where Lisbon's literary crowd gathered throughout the 20th century. The bronze statue of poet Fernando Pessoa sits at a sidewalk table. Tourist-heavy now, but the ornate interior, strong bica (EUR 0.80 at bar), and pastéis de nata warrant a stop.
Insider Tips
Order at the bar rather than sitting for table service - bica costs EUR 0.80 standing vs EUR 2.50 seated. The interior Art Deco mirrors are worth seeing.
