About

Small room, yellow door, Portuguese at heart.

Café Lisboa is a small, family-run Portuguese café on Little Mary Street, just off Capel Street, in Dublin 7.

Um cantinho de Lisboa

We make our pastéis de nata in-house and pour Delta coffee from Portugal. The counter carries the snacks you’d find in a Lisbon pastelaria, like rissóis, pastel de bacalhau and enrolado de salsicha, and the fridge has Sumol, Compal, Ucal and Água das Pedras.

Portuguese music plays, and the team says bom dia as easily as good morning. At weekends we do brunch, from the Celtic Breakfast to the signature salmon bagel.

It’s a small room, and that’s the charm: blue cups, wood tables, tiles on the walls and a yellow door onto the street.

“The owners are so friendly, I always enjoy having a small chat with them every time I visit.”
