Another of Lisbon's literary and political meeting points when it opened in 1929. It maintains part of its past in its art deco façade, but nowadays serves mostly as a tourist stop.

A historical place in Lisbon, where the poet Bocage has many stories in this Art Deco Café. Do not miss the "bife à café", a tenderloin steak with a coffee creamy sauce. Delicious!
