The Reception Brunch was delicious. I'm glad we went here. The restaurant was quiet, and there was only one other patron. The scrambled eggs with ham severed with toast were so tasty. The bread was light and yummy . The eggs were hot. The latte was delightful alongside the pancakes. We finished off with some sweet, fresh fruits. The service was great. The establishment was clean. The food was responsibly priced. I would definitely eat there again given the chance. There is one little step at the entrance wheelchair friendly no.. but you can get assisted over the one step. 🫂

If you’re looking for an affordable brunch spot with good food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, you should definitely check out The Reception Brunch!
We arrived a little earlier than booked but were kindly directed to our table, and ordering was super easy and efficient. The drinks arrived first (kudos to the barista for the lovely cappuccino art), then the eggs (both of which were absolutely delicious). We also ordered some simple pancakes with syrup for a sweet final taste, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall a great experience!
I sincerely appreciated how the service was designed to let us finish our plates before the next one arrived, as to not let it cool down at the table. A big shout out to Bernardo, our waiter, for the kind service and attention!

The Reception Brunch in Lisbon merges a stylish setting with a menu that tantalizes the taste buds. It crafts an experience reminiscent of a 1950s hotel lobby, blending Portuguese culinary traditions with global flavors. While praised for its creative ambiance and attentive service, some may find the atmosphere a tad sterile, lacking the vibrant, soulful touch often sought in a culinary experience. The food, though delicious, doesn't quite reach the heights of its competitors in Lisbon's vibrant brunch scene. This place is worth a visit for its unique setting, but may not beckon a repeat for those seeking a more spirited and hearty culinary journey.

Really nice fresh new place here in Lisbon to eat something different and good. The highlight is really the food that stands out instead of the majority of brunch places that lack the quality. Highly recommend.

If you’re in the area you have to stop here - it’s so amazing! Best breakfast we’ve had in Portugal so far (and that’s saying something, because we’ve had some great meals). Had the tomato and avocado eggs and they were SO GOOD!

The food is very taste and carefully prepared. I had a Bloody Mary that was perfectly seasoned with spices. The soup of the day was impeccable! We had burgers, pancakes, bowls, all of it very delicate, fresh and very tasty. Our family had a great time. I highly recommend a visit for an unforgettable brunch.

Cozy place to have a meal. There are breakfast & brunches options like dishes with eggs, different toasts and burgers. Big portions, very nutritious. Of course, there are desserts as well. Coffee, tea, soft drinks.
We’d ordered two mimosas and the cocktails have appeared in front of us in couple of seconds :) coffee and tea in one minute.
Friendly and smiley staff. Free wi-fi for guests.

Just had the BEST brunch here. We found it randomly and with such great reviews we had to try it! Let me tell you, it was so worth it!! Great pricing and a great meal. Definitely a hidden gem in Lisbon! We’re only here for 3 days but for sure will try and come back :)
