About Cafe Nicola
Founded in 1777 on Rossio square with neoclassical facade and outdoor tables facing the wavy mosaic pavement. Historic meeting spot for writers and revolutionaries, now serving galao and torradas to commuters and travelers between train connections.
Insider Tips
Sit at the outdoor terrace despite higher prices - the view of Rossio's 19th-century architecture and constant street theater is worth EUR 1 extra.
