“Cruzes Credo” – A New Café in Lisbon for a Sightseeing Break in Alfama
Those walking around Lisbon’s Alfama neighborhood, especially around the city’s cathedral on the way up to the castle often end up at “Pois,” an Austrian-inspired café. It’s a local favorite and it has reached the guidebooks as one of the best places for a quick meal in this part of town. That café now has a new competitor down the street, the new “Cruzes Credo,” found to the right of the cathedral.
Unlike Pois, it serves dinner, staying open until 2AM (doors open at 8AM). It has a very relaxed atmosphere and a well-preserved interior of stone walls and industrial lighting around which a menu of light meals is served. There are toasted sandwiches and hamburgers that can be accompanied by wine by the glass.
After dinner you can go for the mojitos and caipirinhas, in a dimly-lit ambience to the sounds of electro-jazz.
Address: Rua Cruzes da Sé, 29
