Café Nicola

Café Nicola, an emblematic place in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, is a testament to the city’s rich history and culinary tradition. Founded in 1787 and running in its current location since 1929, this traditional Portuguese restaurant is a blend of the old and the new, offering an inviting atmosphere that is both nostalgic and refreshing.

The restaurant’s façade, designed by the renowned architect Norte Junior, is unmistakable and adds to the charm of the place. The statue of the poet Bocage, sculpted by Marcelino de Almeida, and the oil paintings of Fernando Santos further enhance the aesthetic appeal of the restaurant.

Café Nicola offers a selection of local dishes. The service at Café Nicola is prompt, efficient, and reminiscent of old-school hospitality. Once a server attends to you, the food is served warm and timely.

Nicola’s location, just off the main square, is perfect for those who want to enjoy a meal while watching the city pass by. The generous outdoor seating on the sidewalk makes it a great spot to soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
