You wouldn’t really notice it from the outside, but the National Contemporary Art Museum, located a short 5 minute walk away from Largo do Chiado, has a small cafeteria where you can get cheap tasty meals or indulge on a homey brunch on the weekends.

It may not be the most elaborate brunch you can find these days, but for 10€ it’s plenty and you’ll feel grateful to not have to deal with the many people that invade the best known hotspots in the city.

In the summer, you can also enjoy their lovely outside garden, one of Chiado’s best hidden gems. We also recommend taking advantage of the fact that museum is free on Sundays and bank holidays until 2pm, it’s definitely worth a visit.
