Lisbon Bakery and Restaurant — Restaurant in Plymouth

If there was ever a textbook definition of a perfect fish, the grilled bream here would be it!

I am proud of them for the quality of the things and for doing it so well. All the people that I brought there for some coffee and a pastel de nata, end up falling on love with the...

You always leave feeling like you forgot to pay for something but its just that good!

Ditch the Costa, and try some real artisan cakes, coffee and meals at Lisbon and you will not regret it. A true local gem and a perfect spot if your a student with time for a cat up with friends in between exams.

Also, look up if you're visiting. They have an amazing selection of alcohol within variety you would struggle to find anywhere else in the city.

The lemoncello will happily make the transition between meal to cake a flawless...
