A classic establishment

with a lot of history

With centuries of history, we feel a responsibility at Gelo to maintain the best principles of serving and cooking.

Over the years, several well-known personalities have passed through this pastry shop, including Alfredo Costa and Manuel Buiça, and later Mário Cesariny. It was Café Gelo that the former two were exiting with their rifles under their coats to kill King D. Carlos and his son D. Luís Filipe on the afternoon of February 1, 1908. The regicide that would lead to the proclamation of the Republic was planned here, establishing it as an important landmark in the history of Portugal.

Café Gelo is a transit point for thousands of tourists, and its showcase of traditional sweets and pastries is its main attraction, as well as its terrace, which, with more than 150 seats, is the largest terrace in downtown Lisbon.

In previous visits to Portugal, I have passed by this place, but, on this trip, I took the time to experience it. The food was amazing. The service was good, and the atmosphere really helped you embrace the culture. Definitely a place to try.
