"For a second, you might think you’re in Paris, but really this Lisbon patisserie has emulated an atmosphere of French elegance with its Art Nouveau-style building since 1922. Much has changed over the course of a century, but some things remain untouched in one of the most iconic cafes in the city: the croquettes fried to perfection, the carved wooden display cases, and the kindness of the waiters. These days, the cafe serves lunch and dinner too, but the pastry selection is the main reason for a visit. Come for the cakes, meringues, and traditional Portuguese sweets." - Rafael Tonon, Miguel Pires
