Cafe A Brasileira
1905 Chiado coffeehouse, Pessoa's old terrace
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Opened in 1905 and protected as a property of public interest, A Brasileira is one of only three Lisbon cafes to span the whole twentieth century. The carved-wood and brass interior and the bronze Pessoa statue at the door make it a literary landmark; order a bica at the counter where the writers sat. A civic institution to experience for the room, not the terrace upsell.
