Tanoa Café

Wonderful place for brunch in Lisbon. The atmosphere was cosy and the staff were extremely nice and welcoming. We tried avocado toast, NY bagel, toast with ham and cheese and some blueberry pancakes - everything was amazing. They were out of mimosas for the day and we tried other really good cocktails. If you go near their closing time they might be out of some things in the menu as they keep ingredients only for the day, however they are very helpful and can help you find a good substitute 😊

Went for breakfast with my dog. The owner directly offered some meat for my dog as a treat. The service was amazing, such friendly people and the food, especially the vegan toast, was the best breakfast I've had so far. Fresh ingredients and amazingly spiced. Highly recommended for Lisbon. I will definitely come back. Just amazing.

We had breakfast here twice (big breakfast haha). We were three and we really LOVED it!! Everything is beautiful and very very very good 🤤, plentiful and tasty (we had trouble finishing our plate of pancakes today haha). The atmosphere is colorful, you can leave a note on the walls/tables and a music recommendation ☺. Big favorite ❤, the team is adorable, really thank you very much, Tanoa Café is an incredible place 🫶🏻. I know where to have breakfast in Lisbon ☺.

Strolled in for brunch and was not disappointed. Had the avocado toast with scrambled eggs with a cappuccino and both were delicious. The ambiance and service were really great. Love that you could also leave a note on the walls :)

We stumbled across this place on the first day of our trip and had the most amazing breakfast. Had to come back as it was so good! Delicious food!

Not going to lie, I had low expectations of this place as it looked like yet another overpriced western cafe in Lisbon, but the food surpassed my expectations.

The scrambled eggs must be one of the best I’ve ever had. The coffee was delicious too! My husband ordered the pancakes and chocolate milkshake and really liked it too.

The space itself is small and a bit crowded, but it is worth it.

The service was kind and attentive. Food came out pretty fast.

If you’re trying to pick breakfast in Alfama/Bairro Alto I highly recommend Tanoa.

These girls have something special! So so good!!

Lovely little cafe with more UK/US style breakfasts.

As its a very small space you may have to wait a little bit for a table at busy times.

Very good English spoken here.

Food was very decorative and tasty.

It also van get quite hot in there and not for you if you want to sit outside!

We visited Lisbon in October for our wedding. We arrived early in the morning with a lot of luggage and wanted to grab a quick bit to eat, and that's when we stumbled across Tanoa Cafe. It's a small hole in the wall brunch spot with amazingly tasty food, coffee, and drinks. We were going to wait to meet our airbnb host to put our bags and dress and suit away before eating but the staff at Tanoa greeted us with so much warmth and hospitality and they helped find space for all of our luggage. I can not say enough how much we loved all the wonderful young men and women working there. They were so lovely and kind. When we told them we were getting married, they went above and beyond and got us drinks and wrote on our glasses, "Mr and Mrs," and were genuinely excited about our plans. The food is another thing. It was some of the best breakfast we had, and we are both very big breakfast people. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about this place. The location is central and the prices are great too. Thank you to everyone at Tanoa Cafe for starting our trip off on such a high note.

Really sweet cafe with amazing food and good tunes. The vibe is really cool with anyone being able to add their names/messages to the walls! Lovely first morning breakfast in Lisbon, highly recommend :)

Delicious food and excellent service. Our waitress was Deliyan and she was very friendly and helpful during our visit. She helped us go through the menu and decide what to eat based on our dietary requirements. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to come again!

Great, simple food for breakfast Lovers.

I came in with a hope for a good, filling breakfast before my flight and was not disappointed. Had a chorizo scrambled eggs which were fine and a granola with fruit.

Coffee was great too.

Overall I would like to point out that they decorate each dish with balsamic like it’s the 90s again, the salad with scrambled eggs wasn’t even cut there - it was store bought cut, but overall the flavor was there in the eggs (maybe on the dry side) and in the custom
Made yogurt.

The price was on a higher side too.

Maybe if you’d like to eat a European easy breakfast I would recommend it, however if you’re after more authentic experience this is not a place for you.

The service was amazing tho. Waitresses always smiling and helped each customer with their needs while I was there.

Totally deserves the 577+ 5 star google reviews as of Sept 30, 2023. Service was warm, friendly, yet highly competent and attentive. Food and drinks were really enjoyable to both look at and gobble up. Love the crowdsourced colorful decor.

Had breakfast twice there and it was amazing. Small place, cute atmosphere, delicious meals and great coffee. Definitely recommended.

I FOUND THIS HIDDEN GEM WALKING AROUND MY FIRST DAY IN LISBON IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND THEY BROUGHT MY BREAKFAST WITH A CANDLE The food here is like Art.The taste is so amazing its like the flavors u would get in a 5star michelin restaurant Needless to say I have gone there every day while in lisbon every day was a different experience of unbelievable flavors. Please don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this hidden Gem.
Last but not least. The service WOW WOW Deli and Bia make u feel like u are in there home. So efficient friendly kind. and happy. The vibe here is amazing. The Owner she is also beautiful and kind the goal here is to leave happy and satisfied and I did.Thank u Deli &Bia

Friendly staff and good food. Not only is the food pretty, but it also tastes good! I would definitely come back here if im ever in Lisbon again.

I have never seen a restaurant more deserving of 5 stars. The food was indulging in all the right ways. The French toast was the best French toast I’ve ever had. The smoothie was just as impressive, both in presentation and flavor. The service is quick and the waiters are incredibly attentive. This hole in the wall is worth the visit and worth any wait. They ask what music you’d like to listen to and they notify you when the bathroom is available for you to use. The waiters are so kind and conversational. If I’m ever back in Lisbon, I would definitely pay this place another visit.

Everything we tasted was the best we ever had, be it Acai bowl, pancakes were heaven and not to mention california eggs, total 5 star worthy, must visit if you are in Lisbon and it's open on 1st Jan 2023!

Really good breackfast place with vegan options. The staff were very attentive and nice. I wish they had bigger tables.

When you find a restaurant on Google with a 5 star review you want to check it out. We did that, and I would give more stars if possible. This place is out of this world. I never had such a good Chai Latte tea before, and the quality of the food is outstanding! We went back the next day for breakfast, and I highly recommend the French toast. I have no words to describe this delicious treat! And last but not least, the staff is so kind! They took the time for a nice chat, and when the kitchen staff heard we would go to the Azores after our visit to Lisbon, we received some written recommendations for the islands. Just don't skip this restaurant during your visit to Lisbon. You won't regret it!

Best place for brunch in Lisbon! Classic Benedict eggs were great and staff was very friendly. It’s a unique place where they allow you to draw on walls an tables, which makes it a special place.
