Pastelaria Benard

While inexperienced tourists may be seduced by the Brasileira next door and its Instagrammable appeal, they would be missing out on the jewel next door. Where else in Lisbon can you ask for a croissant au chocolat and be served a sliced croissant that was freshly filled with the patisserie’s own chocolate fondue? Well, they also serve lunches and their dining room is a time capsule you can't miss! Bring a friend but tell no one 🤫

Coming from a family of French bakers and canners, Elie Benard settled in Lisbon - now found this place as Croissants in Google. We had a cup of coffee and a red wine.

Wonderful cafe/bistro with ample outside dining space. Food including pastries, empanadas, are all very good. Inside restaurant is very well done and comfortable. Great location to have a cafe and bakery foods.

Antonia is an excellent server. He works very hard to insure the guests needs are met. Antonia was the only server on the patio and was quite busy. Even though it was stressful, he maintained his composure and provided great service. The burger bun was probably the best I’ve had. Not a type I’ve seen back home in the USA. Love this place.

A coffe shop full of decades of tradition. It was the place where hight society usualy meet for tea. It still is very good with great pastry.

Amazing little French pastry shop in Chiado. I had the croissant with cheese and a coffee with milk. It was tasty and hot. Oh and a cream puff.. I will be back

Eclairs did not taste fresh. The dough there seemed to be made at least a day ago, it had a weird taste and was hard as old boots. They also mixed up the order and brought hot coffee instead of iced. The portion of coffee is ridiculous, probably like 100ml for americano. Desserts look really sad, the filling is melted.

Love the old time classic cafe! We went to Bernard for coffee 3 times during our 5 days trip in Lisbon! It’s a very old, classic style cafe in the heart of Chiado. We opted to sit outside to watch people and look at the old bookstores next to the cafe. It’s very busy but at the same time relaxing! Great coffee and pastries!
