Dear Breakfast’s Alfama branch is at Largo de Santo António da Sé, close to Lisbon’s Sé. Come for a leisurely brunch built around egg dishes, pancakes and coffee, with French toast and a pistachio latte among the tempting choices. The dining room pairs white walls and pink details with exposed stonework, and there is an outdoor terrace. It can get busy, so allow for a wait between ordering and eating. The kitchen serves breakfast-style dishes and freshly squeezed juice throughout the day, until 4 pm.
A brunch menu with classic breakfast plates
The menu ranges from eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs to huevos rancheros and avocado toast. Pancakes, banana pancakes, croissants and breakfast sandwiches give you other options, whether you want something sweet or savoury. Freshly squeezed juice is served through the day, alongside coffee drinks such as cappuccino and the pistachio latte.
For a lighter combination, the granola with yoghurt and fruit can be paired with a pastry. A €15 deal for that combination is noted, but check with the restaurant before ordering in case it has changed.
The setting and pace
Inside, white walls, pink accents and exposed stonework give the room a calm, pared-back look. The terrace adds the option of eating outside. This is a popular brunch stop, and a busy service can mean waiting for food after you order, so leave some slack in your plans.
