Café Guarany

Aliados & Bolhão


With a sunny, tiled interior, marble-top tables and an Afro-Brazilian mural, this classy affair has attracted the business and literary elite since the 1930s. It's now firmly on the tourist trail, but perhaps worth it for the live music (fado and Cuban), and decent mains from codfish to fillet steak. Guarany also brews one of the best coffees in town.
