    Well-crafted menu for a brunch. Super good eggs cooked to perfection. The service is a bit slow between 10:00 and 11:00. All our dishes were delicious though and it was worth waiting a bit. The coffee … well… if you like a coffee with milk and you’re not super-picky then you should be fine. In case you are looking for a decent black coffee or proper espresso as part of your breakfast, then you probably should look somewhere else. The place outside is nice before 11:00. Later it might become too warm if you are not in shade. We were there in mid August. Overall, solid 4 stars (1 star down for slow service and mediocre coffee)

    The most delicious vegan brunch that I tried in Lisbon. Tofu omelet is delicious. Juicy vegetables and fresh salad, delicious dressing for vegetables. The portion is huge. I will return to this place again.)

    Food and service are very good and reasonable prices for the quality. Definitely will go back! It get’s busy very quickly in the morning so make sure you get there early to get a spot inside. They also gave outside seats but you’ll burn under the sun on a hot day.

    We stayed at an Airbnb across from this place and were very happy having breakfasts here during our stay in Lisboa. The food is spectacular both visually as well as taste-wise. The atmosphere is very arts and chill. The outdoor seating is great unless the nearby road is busy with traffic. The service is very friendly. The only thing that is a bummer is that they don’t allow for people to hang out and work on laptops here. I’m guessing that this place simply gets too busy during some times of the day to be able to accommodate working/studying crowd. (Weekday mornings don’t seem to be too busy, but we saw a long line of people waiting to get a table on a late Sunday morning)

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The best French toast I have EVER had. My husband came here in May, and hasn't stopped talking about it since so we had to come back together! I could tell on entry the food would be good, but omg, this was something else. My husband had a Mexican breakfast which was really really good, and I had their French toast (which he tried too) - I wish I'd gone back again before we left. If you go here, have the French toast no matter what. We had a really nice waiter, who was really helpful with the menu. Also had a lovely cup of portugese tea! Please ship me some French toast to Wales! Obrigada!!!

    Had brunch for 2 days here 'cause the foods are amazing! And the iced caramel latte is to die for. Really sad there's no brunch place like this where I live. Friendly staff, cozy place, portion is big! Totally worth the wait.

    Most of the food was good, the american eggs benny were very disappointing as the egg wasn’t even runny and had very little sayce of hollandaise. The rest of the food was good but not amazed, staff were nice and the place is cool. Lots of tables were dirty and we basically had to cleaned it ourselves. Unsure if it’s a place I’ll go back maybe the timing I went was off but I’m happy I tried it and the rest of the group loved their dishes. Maybe it was bad luck for me.

    I think is that it’s the best place to have breakfast in Lisboa. Nice selection of meal, we tried for 3 days always different dish and no one of that made us disappointed. The staffs are really nice guys, always big smile and helpful. And I would like to say a special thanks to Ivan that let’s us seat on the busy time without reservation, he set a table for us really fast and I really appreciated that. Thank you guys, well done! (Coffee is also great)

    This cute brunch cafe needs more reviews! This has to be the best place in Lisbon for all things breakfast and drinks. We love sharing food and the fact they have the option to have a platter that gives you “a bit of everything” was perfect for us. The food was delicious and very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. My boyfriend couldn’t stop commenting on how comfy the blue velvet seats were. Do try the “Peking Duck Eggs Benedict” as that was unreal which we haven’t stopped dreaming about since our return to the United Kingdom.

    Good food and wonderful atmosphere with Ukrainian soul.. love it! Just please deruzzify the Moscow mule. It is an assault after 2 years of war to have Ukrainian dishes with Moscow mule in one menu. Thank you

    🤩 Amazing! This is one of the best places we’ve ever been to for a Brunch in Lisbon! The atmosphere is really pleasant, the food is great, you can see they use high quality ingredients. Their coffee is pretty good and the juice not very acid, which is great. I highly recommend this place for Breakfast or Brunch!

    We were here for brunch on a Saturday. The food is gorgeous but the service although friendly could be more efficient. The place was full so we had to sit outside, with sunny weather but a bit chilly. So we asked for a blanket but as all those sitting outside needed one there was not enough for everybody. As a consequence it was not so comfortable. Additionally, in order to sit as many people as possible, they packed us 3 people in a very small table, trapping others sitting in a table nearby in the corner, making it difficult to serve them.

    Excellent! Firstly they are dog friendly 🐶. They have a lot of food choices and the portion of a brunch is big and with good taste and quality. Will have queues waiting sometimes. Also look like many tourist know this restaurant.

    “Best brunch I have ever had” my companion had the peking duck eggs Benedict, and was raving about it! My croissant was lovely too! It is out of the way on a back street but well worth the visit! The service was friendly with a homely atmosphere. Was constantly busy whilst we were here. Definitely recommend!

    This restaurant is where we had our first meal (dinner) when we arrived in Lisbon. Cute local spot. The Lima Risotto with scallops was to die for!!! My sister had the Slow Cook Pork. The pork was wonderfully tender. Great service and atmosphere.

    One of the best brunches I have had in my life. Great drinks as well! The only downside was the 45min wait for the food, the fact that a table of 8 who came in after us got their food much earlier and the fact that it was sweltering hot with no AC. The food, when it did come, was amazing. In a way, worth the wait. Also, the whole thing is basically run by one woman with short hair, maybe everyone could support her to reach higher efficiency …

    5 stars for the amazing food! But I’d give 4 stars for the service as we sat unattended at our table for about 15 minutes after being sat and the server only came over when we flagged him down. But, about that food: SIMPLY DELICIOUS. And cheap! We ordered the Turkish eggs: so unique and flavorful (however, it looks like it comes with a bagel… If you’ve had a real bagel in your life, I must warn you, this is NOT a bagel. It’s bagel-shaped bread); the french toast, which was the best french toast I’ve ever tried in my life, topped with super sweet, fresh strawberries; and the croissant with bacon and eggs (I didn’t try this but my father said it was tasty). Everything is of very high quality, generous portions, and so SO inexpensive! I should also mention the decor. This place is adorably decorated, very hipster with mismatching furniture and silverware. Fun art on the walls. And there’s a pretty large outdoor patio as well. We didn’t order any of the brunch meals, but they looked amaaaaazing. You can understand why this places is so busy. By the time we left on a Thursday morning, there was a line out the door, so I recommend arriving before 10:30am!

    Found by accident - when looking for post office in Google maps and it was the best accident ever! Great service, delicious eggs and coffee. Huge plus for sustainable menu (in a form of qr code and web page)

    Empty restaurant. Came for a flat coffee and Benedict eggs. As work nearby needed to use laptop WHILE eating (not procrastinating on a table with a simple coffee). Was told off by employees that basically tell me I cannot use a laptop. Seems absurd that it’s not controlled long talks, being on the phone or reading a book or a smartphone but a laptop. Felt targeted. Understand the intent to block nomads working for long hours and not consuming but cannot be such an absurd rule. Not coming back. By the way asked if I could use a laptop when coming in and was directed to a table. Apparently employees did not understand as more than half don’t speak Portuguese…

    Great experience at the Manifest! Great service, great atmosphere, great decor inside the restaurant and most importantly, great food. I’ve had the GLUTEN FREE eggs Benedict with salmon and it was soooo good. Definitely recommended 😊

    Fantastic place for breakfast ! Please try this place out. They have so many options for food it was hard to choose. The place is really pretty and aesthetic with many nice paintings and textures throughout place. I took shakshouka which was amazing and very filling it had about 3 eggs , hummus it came with 3 pieces of bread, taste wise it had Arabic flavours ,it was perfect. The drinks were also really good here I had a pink dream smoothie while my friends had lemonades. Service : super good and food came very fast like 10 minutes wait max even tho the place was full. We had to wait 5 minutes outside to get a table but it was worth it for sure.

    The staff was not very approachable or suggesting to offer help in short not very welcoming. Access to wheelchair users is difficult so I wouldn't recommend it. The menu is strange but the food is actually tasty. I will not recommend it if you dislike greasy or oily food though.

    Wir waren heute zum Frühstück im Manifest aufgrund der guten Rezensionen und Bilder auf Google und ich muss sagen wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen ist hervorragend, der Kaffee und die Getränke auch sehr lecker. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Alles in allem kann ich es nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

  • 5/5 Michele D. 1 month ago on Google • 38 reviews New
    Wir waren heute morgen zum aller ersten Mal im Manifest. Wir wurden von einer sehr netten jungen Frau bedient. Es ist ein super schöner laden und das Essen sah nicht nur auf dem Fotos gut aus, es war richtig lecker. Wir können nur jedem empfehlen hier her zu kommen. Es ist zwar nicht ganz günstig aber jeden Cent wert.

    This was our favorite brunch spot while visiting Lisbon. It was so delicious and the servers were so sweet and kind. The French toast was heavenly and the cappuccino & fresh squeezed orange juice were delicious. The atmosphere is also very cute, lots of space, and relaxed. We went around 3pm and didn’t have to wait very long for a table. We will definitely be returning on our next trip there!

  • 4/5 Thomas H. 5 months ago on Google
    Good experience, not amazing. Had to wait 10 mins for a table, the place is obviously attracting people through their social media and advertising. The food is not amazing though. Maybe looks “pretty” for your IG but I recommend the chefs master the plates for return customers.

  • 4/5 Katerina R. 5 months ago on Google
    We went for breakfast and were lucky to get in without a queue around 10:30 am. Food: salmon brunch was great because it has eggs, fruit, veggies, very tasty smoked salmon, and a fresh croissant. Syrniki (cheesecakes) were a tiny bit too sweet for me but very tasty regardless. Peking duck Benedict - the duck was very sweet because of the sauce and there were some dry bits so I can't recommend it. Service: the place is busy and you might have to wait a bit to catch someone's attention. Vibe: the interior design is nice: there are a lot of things to study while waiting. The space isn't very big and can get quite noisy because of people speaking. I'd suggest coming earlier to enjoy your meal in a quieter atmosphere.

    This is still one of my favorite brunch places in Lisbon. So sad they r no longer using the terrace. Food is just super tasty, menu varied & brunch menu available till late. Service is generally friendly, but not always 😁 Overall, up on my breakfast favorites

  • 4/5 Martin G. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent brunches at wallet-friendly prices and generous servings of food. The only downside was the waiter's reluctance to seat two of us at a wheelchair-friendly four-person table. Eventually, one person comfortably sat there. Note that the restaurant's entrance has a single step, posing accessibility challenges for wheelchairs.

  • 5/5 Darina R. 2 years ago on Google
    I accidentally found this place in google maps while I was looking for the place to have breakfast near our hotel. It was such a surprise that this place was opened by Ukrainian guys and made me so proud ‘cause the food was super delicious, there is a big choice of breakfast for any taste. The staff was also super nice.

  • 5/5 Mykhailo S. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience, highly recommend! We came here for brunch on a public holiday. The place was busy so we had to wait in the queue for around 5 minutes but it was totally worth it. As a company of 4 we've ordered different dishes and all of them were amazing. Syrniki for desert highly recommended as well. One of the best brunch spots in Lisbon

  • 4/5 Kristian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food and accommodating staff. The octopus starter was the highlight while the main courses were okay. Drinks were okay as well. I enjoyed my whiskey sour but the other drink we had was too sweet.

  • 4/5 Natalia F. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is out of this planet!!! The Ucranian courgette pancakes are probably the best ever breakfast combination. Only low point is the time of the pouch egg is a bit too cooked... They should get their bags right....

  • 4/5 Chris D. 2 years ago on Google
    Sunday brunch = super busy time. People were waiting for tables. Luckily for us, they opened the outside seating area and we got a table pretty quickly. But, we then had to wait ages for someone to take our order - at least 20 minutes. I had to (quite rudely) wave someone down. Two other groups got fed up of waiting and left before ordering. They need to hire more help. We waited another 40 minutes for the food to arrive. I ordered the American eggs Benedict. Very tasty, but they it was served with rocket and peppers. Quite an unusual taste. My wife had a mushroom omelette. Pretty bland - but what did she expect? Overall, decent food but very poor service.

  • 5/5 Razvan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure to have a brunch there. The staff are very approachable and doing a great job trying to fit in everyone showing up. And the food is absolute delish. My only suggestion for improvement is to allow for booking during the weekends.

  • 5/5 Ekaterina K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with good coffee and tasty food. I liked pancakes with salmon and egg, only i would remove the garlic from the sauce. Staff is very welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Ann J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the BEST places for breakfast anywhere on the planet (well traveled from the states). Awesome Portuguese Breakfast tea, delicious regional breakfast offerings, wonderful morning music, interesting atmosphere and great staff. You will love it!

  • 4/5 Sara A. 2 years ago on Google
    It was easy to find a place on a Saturday brunch time which was great. It is my first time to this place. The menu has a good variety of options..I ordered the Mexican eggs which was delightful and fresh. The mimosa was good as well. The staff were friendly and they speak English.

  • 5/5 Andrea G. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the place. Very fast serving, lovely people, amazing food. Good value for the price. There’s a lot of variety for breakfast/brunch. Definetely would come back here.

    I recently had the pleasure of breakfast at Restaurant Manifest in Lisbon, and it has undoubtedly secured its place as the best culinary experience I've encountered thus far. The food is a symphony of flavors, a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The service was impeccable, with an attentive staff that added to the overall enjoyment. What truly stood out, however, was the incredible kindness demonstrated by the owner. During a sudden rainstorm, I witnessed an extraordinary act of compassion as he graciously allowed two women seeking refuge to enter the restaurant. This humane gesture elevated my dining experience, showcasing not only the restaurant's commitment to hospitality but also the warmth of its owner. Restaurant Manifest is more than a dining establishment; it's a haven of exceptional cuisine coupled with genuine human connection. I highly recommend this gem, and do not miss the opportunity to savor the zucchini pancake – a culinary masterpiece that deserves special mention. A must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable and heartwarming dining experience.
