Definitely one of my favourites. It’s expensive but I think it’s worthwhile: huge glasswindows facing the Tagus, wonderful design, hip, very good food. Design furniture (waiting room by Mies Van der Rohe). Here you have 2 choices: the restaurant and the cafeteria. If you don’t want to spend so much, just choose the cafeteria – which is my favorite, anyway.

Coffee and cakes are very good and Bénard is one of the oldest teahouses in Lisbon. One of it’s characteristics is the attitude of the employers....they have seen it all before and charm is not their top quality.

Full of history, tradition and culture, this Restaurant-café doesn’t need presentation. The former intelectual elite used to hangout here and the place is a must. (the statue of the poet Bocage proves it)
