Quiosque das Portas do Sol

Great drinks and service with an incredible view. We spent a glorious evening watching the light fade over the estuary and the rooftops of Alfama, drinking vinho verde and Mateus rosé. We stayed nearby and the place was always busy whenever we passed, and it's no surprise why. Drinks were reasonably priced, a good selection of snacks on offer though we did not eat here, and wine bottles were served with an ice bucket, something that hasn't been offered to us everywhere in Lisboa. Definitely our favourite quiosque we've found in the city.

For many years this has been my favourite place in Lisbon to have coffee. It used to be a down to earth coffee shop where you could get a real galão, a glass with half coffee and half milk. Unfortunately that is a thing of the past as the place was taken over by one of those chains that mainly targets tourists, willing to pay 2-3x more Now when you ask for a galão they look at you with dismay and reply "you want a coffee with milk" Oh well, the pastries are good and the view over the old Alfama district is stunning, when you can get a table at the railing, while Saint Vincent is looking on

One of the places in Alfama where it is worth stopping, drink coffee, eat something sweet, listen to fado from a distance (someone will definitely be playing and singing) and then get lost in the absolutely amazing streets of old Lisbon. The small square of Portas do Sol overlooking Alfama and the Tagus River. Starting in the morning and entering the square shrouded in thick fog, within 40 minutes we could already admire its surroundings.

Beautiful spot for a drink with a view. There’s a couple of bars around but this place is out on the street so you get plenty of atmosphere with the buskers etc. Kiosk is good value, they do small bites and delish sangria too. A couple of white wine sangrias, couple of pints of superboc and 4 pasteis de nata was the order and we were getting change of twenty euro. The Only issue with the place is as it’s not a bar or restaurant as such, there’s no bathrooms to use. You’ll have to make your way into one of the local bars and ask politely, but you’ll have no trouble as everyone we asked was incredibly polite and helpful. Cracking views over the Alfama district 👌🏽we ended up coming over to this part of the city most evenings and chilling at the kiosk for a couple of hours. They’ve garden furniture out for sitting on and live music playing constantly in the evenings. If you’re not living or staying local, you can catch the famous number 28 street tram which passes the kiosk and hikes up the hills behind you (it stops right at the kiosk, so you can’t miss it. Can’t recommend this spot enough. Obrigado

I'm incredibly impressed by this place and their exceptional customer service! Last night, we visited for drinks and unfortunately, I left a bag behind containing my sunglasses and other belongings. Initially, I was quite upset and assumed it was lost for good. However, when we stopped by again tonight, I decided to ask about it, and to my surprise, they had found and safely kept my bag. They promptly returned it to me, and I am extremely grateful for their honesty and efficiency! Not only was the service last night outstanding, but the drinks were fantastic, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much, guys! You truly made my day. 🙏
