Hans GerwitzNovember 12, 2016Saturday brunch buffet was a delight. Best when fresh (at 12:15). We enjoyed the terrace, but the interior is quite charming so I'd be happy to have dinner inside.
Oscar SuarezJune 2, 2014Tables at the open area are lovely. Fresh air and a natural atmosphere. Service was very fast and food was outstanding. Octopus risotto and chocolate cake... A dream.
Pedro Miguel d'AlmeidaJuly 19, 2015Great chocolate cake and cheesecake! You can order one, two or three toppings on the same cheesecake for the same price. I really enjoyed the pumpkin and wild berries mix!
Like A Local GuideOctober 29, 2013Fábulas is a bar, a restaurant and an art gallery - all in one. A very cozy place with vaults, old radios, sewing machines and other cool accessories. Read more
Delicious food & beautiful decor, a cozy basement in the winter, nice terrace in the summer. Everything in the menu is great really, the pineapple crumble ice cream dessert is pure bliss.
Sarah ClowFebruary 11, 2015The interior boasts Italian style arched ceiling with tables with sewing machines on in the daytime, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service is efficient but not pushy. Great for a coffee or wine.
Sára Eszter KisNovember 18, 2014Pica-pao very nice starter. Try the cheesecake with pumpkin sauce its awesome! Superb atmosphere, great service and quality food! Vines are great as well!
Stacey BrookJune 19, 2018Castle-like atmosphere. They have large tables and can accommodate large groups for lunch and dinner. Food is excellent and not too expensive.
jenni tapanilaJune 29, 2015garlic shrimp starter is tasty. some interesting artesan beers on menu. wonderful garden terrace.
Sonia 💋August 14, 2014Very cool looking and the shrimp in garlic sauce app was delish. Service was good, accommodating to my bf not speaking Portuguese. Recommend!
Chris R (thechristophe)February 9, 2015Fairly relaxed place, borderline poor vegetarian options however. Beer is available in 40cl (not on the menu) and staff are friendly enough. Restaurant located down the steps that lead off the road.
Jessica KesslerJuly 9, 2015Get the passion fruit sparkling sangria! The toasts are actually delicious grilled cheeses.
Dasha ZaytsevaNovember 16, 2015Quite strange interior on the bottom floor, and there is not network connection. Go there to try the desserts
Sam LesterMay 29, 2015Excellent place to get a quick lunch. There's a big, shady terrace hidden at the back.
Liliana PedroFebruary 20, 2011Lovely place to enjoy with time... One of the best chocolate cakes ever. I suggest the cuscus
andr3ffNovember 8, 2010Nice place to eat, drink, chat and chill out. Open your macbook and order a tea and relax.
The top floor is a great place to study. The entire place has free WiFi access, proper tables and enough silence.
- The service has been greatly improved, and now they serve on the top floor, finally.
Sérgio PimentelJuly 19, 2011I did like the atmosphere, but the place is a little expensive for what you eat and the quality of the service. For such a nice architecture you would expect more from a place like this.
Armando AlvesApril 2, 2010Be sure to check the top floor, if you need to access the web. They have a internet space
Agata KasperekApril 27, 2013Only the picture is nice. Not the food, not the price. Ok, and service is nice.
