Chiado Caffe — Restaurant in Lisbon

Absolute racism the and worst attitude you could ever image. For the egg tarts, though I like the taste and the sense of cinnamon, but they’re cold and the moisture completely distorted the crispy taste of the bread outside.

While me and my friend walk into the coffee, it was empty. However the guy makes himself looks busy, and then just throw two packed egg tarts to us, without asking what we want and wether we wanna eat in or take away.. and egg tarts are totally not what I wanna take at the moment.

But then, he greets other consumers warmly, (1) he asked what they want, (2) he asked they wanna eat in or take away IN ENGLISH. Even when they’re eating he asked wether you want add some cheese or whatever it is..

I’m so surprised by somebody could acted out his biases that obviously. I’m not sure what makes him acted so differently, so I broadly assume he’s judging people based on their appearances. Maybe learn how to greet your consumers politely and equally before you stand behind...

The man who served us was not warm but very correct, so fine. We ordered 2 cappuccinos and 2 pastel de nata. The cappuccino comes in a regular coffee cup, fine espresso but a bit too coarse milk foam. And it is served like they sometimes did in Italy 10 years ago with a lot of cocoa on top. Don't do that, it will ruin your milk foam and your cappuccino will taste like chocolate. It is not a Wiener Melange!! The pastels were completely fine. When paying, it turned out that a pastel de nata only cost €1.40. Great! The place doesn't have much atmosphere but it is completely fine if you sit down for a coffee with something tasty and take some very baked bread with you when you leave, they sell that here too. Also...

Steer clear of this place – I definitely won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else either.

Pros: None to mention

Cons: The owner/staff seemed incredibly unfriendly, acting like customers were just in the way. There was a noticeable and uncomfortable difference in how men and women were treated; men got the cold shoulder, while women received smiles and softer tones. The pastries were really underwhelming, nothing worth trying again. That chocolate croissant was a total scam – looked amazing from the outside, but it was practically empty inside with barely any filling. Be warned: they only accept cash, which is a huge hassle if you're...
