Eat: Magnolia Bistrot
A lovely café so small, you just might miss it.
Lisbon, Portugal
We arrived at this little spot just in time for a late breakfast, sitting in the window in tight configuration. Other diners sunned in the sidewalk tables facing the beautifully verdant park and yellow-tiled facade just opposite. The food was beautiful, service delightful. The owners are from Belgium and Brazil, and are known for their pistachio croissants, among other favs.
We dream of little cafes like this, neighborhood haunts to frequent again and again. It earns our pick for best brunch-lunch spot in Lisbon, hands-down. Reservations available.
