Nina - Brunch and Speciality Coffee — Restaurant in Lisbon

Man the food was straight mid. 6€ for a stale croissant? Come on now. I was in Paris in February and ain’t even pay that much. Espresso was aight, cappuccino had burnt milk. Then a 17€ burger? It’s okay, but for that price you can hit way better spots, smash burgers and all that. Pulled up twice ’cause the vibe kinda chill, but y’all really out here charging 17€ for a burger, 4.20€ for an Americano, and sittin folks outside on some old Pepsi chairs? Wild. I was gon’ give like 2 or 3 stars, ’cause yeah it’s overpriced but not trash. But then I hear an employee call me the n-word. Didn’t even say nothin’ ’cause I ain’t tryna cause a scene, but that right there? Nah. Straight inexcusable.

These the values you pushin, Nina?

Edit: Boyyy y’all KILL me. Every time somebody say somethin’ negative, here you go screamin’ “FAKE REVIEW” like a broken record. That’s y’all whole personality at this point. I only got TWO bad reviews on this whole damn app, and guess what? One of ‘em is you clowns. So stop actin’ like it’s some conspiracy — nah, it’s just YOU can’t take criticism without cryin’ like a toddler. And let’s not play dumb — I was finna give you 2 or 3 stars, keep it movin’. But nah, y’all just had to get racist with it. Big 2025 and you still droppin’ the N-word like it’s the Jim Crow menu special? Are you serious? Who even raised y’all? That ain’t “bad service,” that’s just being gutter-trash with an espresso machine. Now, about that croissant. Bruh. I ain’t even call out the fake-ass “artisanal” tag at first (even though we both know ain’t shit artisanal about that lil bread rock you servin’). I just said it was STALE. Meaning old, dry, damn near fossilized. You bitin’ into it and it sound like steppin’ on autumn leaves. That’s facts. If it was really artisanal like you keep lyin’, you’d have videos, reels, SOMETHIN’ to flex on your socials. Bakeries show off their craft ‘cause it’s good for marketing. But you? Nothin’. Just cappin’ hard so you can justify taxin’ folks SIX euros for a gas station–tier croissant. Be fr. And then the gaslighting? Lawd. Instead of takin’ the L like grown folks, you get on here talkin’ sideways like everybody else dumb. Nah, the only dumb thing is thinkin’ people gon’ believe a stale-ass croissant cost luxury prices ‘cause you slapped “artisanal” in the caption. You ain’t Wolfgang Puck, you a microwave maestro with a dusty pastry case. So lemme spell it out: I ain’t lied ONCE. Not about the racism, not about the croissant, not about nothin’. You just big mad somebody pulled your mask off. You don’t want reviews, you want free compliments. But the streets ain’t givin’ it up. The food mid, the vibe racist, and your response game weak as hell. Next time, save the excuses and spend that energy fixin’ your kitchen. Or at least put your croissants in a Ziploc so they don’t come out the oven already lookin’ like...

I have to say i am a Brunch Spot Hunter as i am constantly looking for new places to try, i'm a fan of the type of products we can normally find in this concept.

I found Nina on Instagram and decided to try it , as i live quite near the area. Knowing there is a clear lack of offer on this type of concept in the area i just had to try!

And i am soooo glad i did! Nina is a wonderful cosy place, where you're warmly welcomed by the staff and immediately you feel at home, ready to try their chef designed menu with many delicious options!

I went for these AMAZING Benedict egg's with the Chef's own Black garlic souce which was really a game changer here! So so delicious, it even as a slight coffee taste to it, wonderful!

The owners are from Romania, that i had the pleasure to meet. Besides having created this beautiful concept, they also introduce something from their own country, in the form of delicious desserts! I tried their grandmother recipe cheesecake slice, and wow, really a slice of heaven, so good, not too sweet and really makes you want to go for more! :)

I'm looking forward for my next visit! As i saw the chef preparing the other menu options and i am really looking forward to have them a go! Welcome Nina, so glad you...

Nina has a fantastic team of talented people - the chefs, the baristas, the waiters and the manager are all clearly passionate about what they do and have great collaboration and chemistry together. Every month they have a special menu around one seasonal ingredient with some great creative foods and drinks. This month it's blueberries, next month it will be chestnuts. Their regular menu is also excellent, with varied options and great quality of food. A special note for the coffee, which is being integrated into the menu in interesting ways and the team is experimenting with coffee-food pairings and combinations. They also have specialty coffee beans for sale from different roasters in Portugal...
