    Service is great. Bartenders and drinks are really good. However, the food is not 5. While having rice with chicken I bit on eggshell.. I mean it could happen to anyone, but it’s always a good practice to wash of clean boiled eggs..

    Super nice space and beautifully presented food. Lots of vegetarian options. Large outside patio and it's dog friendly! Alcoholic beverages available.

    I walked to this place and the walk was not easy but super worth it. I love everything about this place. The decor the service the food and the attention to details. Reservation is a good idea. I was alone and was there at quiet time so I got lucky with a table. But it got super busy after that.

    We loved the decor in this restaurant and the staff were very friendly. I had the pancakes with maple bacon, fried egg, crispy onion, and maple syrup. It was very good! I can never turn down the opportunity of having pancakes when many recommended it online. I also had the banana smoothie, which was delicious! My partner really enjoyed it here as well, and we both recommend coming here for a lovely breakfast! Their menu is very diverse, so they will have something for everyone!

    We had brunch here, it was good, plates are simple but fresh with a good design, prices are not bad! Not cheap and not expensive, we did not choose the brunch option from menu we chose everything separately with coffee. Staffs are nice and friendly. Decoration is so beautiful, good place for taking a picture or spend time with your loved ones. I recommend it.

    A wonderful little place for a great brunch. Inside and outside it is stylish and relaxed friendly staff and great tasting food and coffee. They also have their computer policy sorted with a very fair request of people. Don't abuse it. I'll be back for trying other options on the menu.

    The place is really cool abs pretty. The lady attending on us was super nice and helpful. The brunch is affordable and the food is warm and tasty. Our least favourite dish were the pancakes. The french toast was to die for

    Everything here was delicious BUT this is NOT an authentic Portuguese kind of restaurant. If you’re looking for American style brunch food, this is your place. If your looking for transitional or local food, try elsewhere. I took off a star because the coffee wasn’t that great.

    Truly awful! Which is a shame because it’s a nice looking place with beautifully presented food that sadly tasted extremely bad! I got the braised tuna salad… the tuna was so stinky & like rubber. My boyfriend got the burger, medium rare, but it practically still had a heartbeat it was so undercooked. The service was horrendous… staff are completely lacking in education, manners & seemed like they really did not want to be there. Worst Bloody Mary I’ve had in my life, it was full of grease & had zero tomato flavor, all I could taste was cheap vodka. It’s a nice place to take some quirky instagram photos I guess but if you want good food & service then this isn’t the place for you.

    This place was very picturesque, quirky, colourful and fun. The decor was nicely put together and I liked the few photographs they framed on the walls. The food was good too. The Yogurt bowl was divine, I loved that.

    This place is amazing! It’s pretty central in Lisbon, it has delicious food and the service is impeccable. If the place is full they have a section with indoor plants for you to wait and chill but you can also give your phone number and they will send you a message when they can sit you which usually doesn’t take that long. They have a lot of variety of drinks and food and everything is beautifully presented, prices are also very accessible. The place is amazingly decorated and gives you a feeling of comfort and coziness. I definitely want to go back and try more things!

    Food was good, but nothing so crazy that I would see myself going back. The menu items were average brunch options. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very fun and pleasant. If you’re in the are, you should go. But don’t go out of you way to eat here.

    Such a cozy brunch place with quite a few vegan options. The only reason I don’t rate them with 5⭐️ is that I wish they had more vegan options, but they are clearly heading in the right direction. The staff were very welcoming and kind, and the place itself is beautifully decorated. The food was prepared with care and very delicious. The beetroot humus and avocado toast was so nice that we actually asked for another one after it was finished. The pancakes were also very well made and carefully decorated with fresh fruit.

    Been to Amelia twice. Once for a evening meeting and once for brunch. Ordered a cappuccino followed by the tuna taco the first time. It was nice. The second time I ordered a poke bowl with chicken sweet potatoes veggies and rice. To me that was not a nicely done one. There was too much soy sauce and the rice a bit undercooked. The amalgamation didn't work for me sadly. Also to get a check I had to keep looking for someone for the longest. Finally had to go to the counter and ask the check. Then again go to pay. Not a perfect experience of service for me.

    Best brunch we had during 10 days in Lisboa. Maybe it was that the kids were not with us - wink wink. Service was excellent and attentive with overlapping servers. Relaxed vibe, indoor and outdoor seating available, cute decor. Food and drinks were a parade of flavors. Highly recommend stopping in!

    Lovely place! It was busy at the time we arrived and they still got us a table pretty quickly. The service was alright, even though some waiters were distracted. The food looked and tasted delicious! We ended up ordering more after our first course.

  • 4/5 Gabor P. 5 months ago on Google
    The interior is green and warm spiced with some neonish lights. Service made some funny situations, because a toast with eggs arrived way earlier than a half pint beer, and our question about the drink got confirmed by an answer like it is in progress... but this does not mean any bad, we felt good. Hot drinks were also decent... the price range is according to a hipster place, but the atmosphere makes the balance.

  • 3/5 Lth C. 5 months ago on Google
    The people there were lovely the atmosphere amazing but the food left a lot to desire. I got the chic pea burger it was swimming in Mayo YUK and my wife ordered a bacon and egg croissant which she also couldn't eat because the eggs weren't cooked all the way thru and the bacon was also made rare...yikes maybe this is a Portuguese thing I'm not sure but the people were absolutely awesome 😎

    Fantastic staff, great value, and absolutely delicious. We’ve been here now several times for breakfast, lunch and early dinners, and each time we’ve had an absolutely amazing experience. The staff is super friendly, attentive and helpful. The food is fresh, healthy and really delicious. On top of that the prices are really decent, all in all providing a fantastic value for money, something that seems to be very rare in Lisbon these days. 10/10 rating. We’ll be back many more times.

    One of my favorite places to brunch in Lisbon. Been here several times, I prefer to come during the week when it is a bit calmer. Ideal to have brunch with friends. The vibe is lovely and service is friendly. I love all the breakfast options and the coffee. Pancakes, eggs, yoghurt, acai, bagels and toasts, lots of delicous options to pick from.

  • 5/5 Gabi 1 year ago on Google
    This is my absolute favorite brunch in Lisbon! The food is fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Campo De Ourique. Do not expect to see tourists here, it is a local place with cozy people! Enjoy your meal! 😍😍😍

  • 5/5 Ilana S. 1 year ago on Google
    It tends to get crowded and the food takes some time to arrive. The staff is really kind and the space beautiful, perfect for your Instagram pictures. Not my favourite brunch spot in Lisbon, but definitely worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Julia L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice spot, lovely decorated, it gives a very nice feeling. Quite loud but delicious food! Eggs in a large variety and very good french toast!

  • 4/5 Tomos M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little find just close to our AirBnB. Would recommend, food is good quality well priced and not a touristy place. Staff is what I would say is the best part of this place is, made it very enjoyable and would go again! Food is the Amelia Burger (really highly recommend) and the prawn curry :)

  • 3/5 Alfreda C. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cute, quaint spot. My friends ordered the French toast which looked and tasted amazing. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and to my dismay, it arrived COLD. I informed the server who apologized and returned with the same dish microwaved(which meant the avocados were hot).. As I type, I’m still waiting for the server to acknowledge my gesture….. **edited to add** the young man did address my concerns and removed the breakfast sandwich from my bill**
