The best

From the food, the drinks and service to the decoration, everything here is amazing. I'm glad I was able to visit it more than just once during my short stay. Made me want to move to Lisbon 😭💖

Tasteful and healthy

I tried the brunch, it's good to taste various dishes. The menu has some variations depending on the day, like "cake of the day" or "juice of the day". A satisfied option for breakfast or lunch.

Very small place with special food

Got the soil and I also got curious about the other dish and they were both special and great

One of the best vegan spots

Second time I came here, and it was great again. Staf is enthusiastic and friendly, food is very tasteful. On top: they made their own kombucha (try the cold brew coffee version) and they serve good coffee.

Pros: Completely vegan, Home brewed kombucha, Staff is super friendly

Never fails!

I’ve been to Pequeno many times and can confirm they’re one of the safest choices in Lisbon. Their food always feels like a hug to your soul, their staff is so nice and smiley, I love going there! As for the menu, their kombucha and double choc cookie deserve a special mention. Oh and the cakes!!

Pros: Great coffee and food!, New specials every week!, Nicest staff!

Delicious Brunch!

I ordered a brunch to divide between two people as an afternoon snack, and it was so good! Great quantity, delicious food, super worth it! The bread with mushrooms was incredible! The staff is kind, service quick!

Feels like home

Few places in Lisbon make me feel as welcome as Pequeno does. The people that work there care and it shows in every plate they prepare. From a perfect matcha to their “weekly menu” and all the delicious things they have on display, Pequeno never disappoints me. I’m not vegan but would become one if it was a requirement to eat there. I feel at home, I only wish it was closer to home (but it’s not their fault).

Pros: Tasty and healthy “homemade feel” food, Friendly staff, Cozyness

Great coffee and cakes

Been here a few times, and more so since they went fully vegan (yay and well done!!). I love their coffee and selection of sweet treats, and you can never go wrong with their cake of the week ;-)

Pros: Great coffee, Cake selection , Great music

Awesome Vegan in Arroios!

On a recent lengthy visit to Lisbon’s azulejos museum, we were ready for some refueling afterwards, and decided to checkout Pequeno Café e Bistrô at their Arroios location. (We have been to their other location a couple of times and loved it.) This one is located at the Arroios Marketplace, in a good location where we were able to get to by public transportation. They’ve got inside seating, inside mall seating, as well as tables alfresco (which we would’ve chosen if a table were available). It’s definitely a “neighborhood/local” kinda place, as everyone spoke the language and seemed to know (or was familiar with) one another. That said, we felt welcomed by the friendly server. (We asked for the English menu.). 😉 We both started (as is our proclivity) with a glass of red wine (very good), and opted for their special, which was a creamy tofu/broccoli dish. The special was excellent and filling! We did a chocolate cookie for dessert which was to-die-for! (So much so that we bought a couple for takeaway!) In sum: Like their counterpart in Príncipe Real, this Pequeno Café is just awesome! 😄

Good vibes, tasty, portion a bit small

Small vegan place with a nice atmosphere. Friendly customer service. The food was tasty and pretty, but the portion for a main meal was a bit small. I recommend the chocolate cookie.

Pros: Tasty , Good vibes, Aesthetic

Cons: Main dish portion runs small

Go here when visiting Lisbon

Very good food. I went here for a late lunch on my last day in Lisbon. Ideal spot to close of my citytrip. Very good soup to start and the main was very tasty as well! They only had one of their dishes left (the no duck rice) and it did not dissapoint! Definitely try the kombucha

Pros: Very tasty food, Calm atmoshere, The kombucha

Cons: Too full to try their dessert after soup and main

Amazing Food!!

Pequeno Café e Bistrô - Arroios is simply amazing. One of the top rated restaurants in Lisbon on HappyCow. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly staff and promptly seated, given menus and explained the daily specials. Very efficient during the busy lunch hour. Upon reviewing the menu, I ordered a local beer and the daily special: Escondidinho de legumes, Beterroba, Salad de Feija Branco. When the food was delivered, I immediately new it was going to be amazing. They say you eat with your eyes and I was soaking this up. The Veggie ‘Escondidinha’ was simply outstanding. Hidden jewels of veggies that included carrots and zucchini topped with a sweet potato mash. The beetroots were smoked which changed the normally earthy flavor of beets to a light, sweet beautiful taste, hard to explain but simply delicious. The white bean salad was one of the best I’ve had. Simply put, I’m coming back soon!

Love the atmosphere

Really nice staff. They don't have an English menu so they explained it to us. I've never tried kombucha before, so they gave me a little "shot" to try before I ordered a whole jar. We had the breakfast bowl and the eggs benedict. Both were really good and delicious.

Great breakfast place | Positive vibes 🌱

The vegan Eggs Benedict 🌱 (7,5€) have been quite nice. Thick slide of crispy bread 🥖 with tofu scamble 🍢 on top and a grilled tomato 🍅. The sauce was especially nice

Shout out to the server who spread so positive vibes even early in the morning. Makes the visit so much more worthwhile 💚

Poor service

Went on a Tuesday around 11:30am. Sat outside and they didn't bring out a menu. Went in to collect one and went to order the tofu Benedict. Turns out they had sold out but hadn't told us. Tried to order mushrooms on toast but they didn't have mushrooms. The vegan options were already very limited. Poor service not telling us what they had in stock as soon as we got there if they knew they were missing so much.
