Paleio Café — Restaurant in Lisbon

I absolutely love the aesthetics of this place, it's a solid 5 stars! The design really catches your eye and adds a unique charm to the surroundings.

It's a great spot to relax with a cup of coffee and take a trip down memory lane to the 80s. However, during our visit, we did encounter some room for improvement in terms of the food. The bread that came with the fried eggs was quite stale, which was a bit disappointing. We're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, though, and assume it might have been an off day in the kitchen.

While the staff weren't rude, they could enhance the overall atmosphere by being a bit more engaging. There were instances where items from previous customers were left on the tables, and it didn't give off the best impression.

As someone who lives in the area and genuinely wants to see this place thrive, I have a suggestion. Adding cocktails and a curated playlist or perhaps even a chill-out DJ could elevate the experience here. It could transform this place into an ideal venue for both daytime brunch and evening wine enthusiasts.

In conclusion, it's undeniably a very cool spot that's worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to give the food another try, as I believe it might have just been an off day in the kitchen. Cheers to the potential for even greater experiences...

Waiting time - bad Food - worse Customer service - worst

We went to this café as it got cute decorations inside. However, it wasn’t really worth spending money here. For a salmon and cream cheese bagel and a glass of orange juice, I had to wait for nearly 20minutes although it wasn’t busy at all! When the food came, the bagel tasted horrible; the onions were cut very thickly as if a toddler prepared them, the smoked salmon smelled off. The bagel itself was stale and chewy, and the orange juice didn’t tasted fresh. My friend ordered the egg bagel and even that wasn’t finished cause it was awful. Customer service is the worst. Very snobby and will literally ignore you even if you’re asking for...

Paleio really grabs your attention from the outside with its unique and eye-catching decoration. Inside, the vibe is just as nice, relaxed and full of personality.

Service was quick and friendly, which we appreciated. We ordered a macchiato, the chocolate cake, and the cheesecake. The slices were very generous, and while the cakes were good, they weren’t particularly memorable.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of visiting the bathroom at the end, which was dirty and in need of maintenance. It left a bad final impression, which is a shame because the café has so much charm. A bit of deep cleaning and upkeep would really make...
