Fauna & Flora sits on a calm little street in the heart of Chiado, one of Lisbon’s most charming old neighbourhoods. It’s close to everything, yet just far enough from the crowds to enjoy a peaceful breakfast or slow brunch in the city.
This is an informal brunch café with a big sunny terrace and a relaxed “weekend mood,” no matter the day. Inside, it’s bright, cosy and a bit tropical — the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. Tourists, locals and digital nomads all mix naturally here.
Open every day from 9 AM to 6 PM, ideal for both early breakfast lovers and late risers.
Many travellers skip hotel breakfast in Lisbon, because the city is full of places that serve fresher, healthier and more creative food. Fauna & Flora is one of those spots. It’s a favourite for anyone looking for healthy breakfast in Lisbon, thanks to its colourful menu, friendly service and great prices. Whether you’re into vegan, vegetarian or classic brunch dishes, you’ll find something you’ll want to order again.
The menu is playful and varied, offering fish, meat, vegetarian dishes, plenty of vegan choices and several gluten-free options.
It’s one of the better avocado toasts in Lisbon: creamy, fresh and nicely seasoned.
The staff is friendly, attentive and quick. Drinks arrive fast, food follows shortly after, and paying at the counter keeps everything smooth and easy — especially if you’re heading out to explore Chiado afterwards.
If there’s one thing that could be better: there’s only one bathroom. For such a popular restaurant, that can be a bit limiting during busy hours.
Final thought: Fauna & Flora is one of the best places for a healthy breakfast or brunch in Lisbon — especially if you’re vegan, vegetarian or simply love good food in a relaxed setting. Great flavours, fair prices, and a location in one of the most iconic neighbourhoods of the city. A must-visit in Chiado.
