Plant-forward brunch spot in Baixa delivering creative vegetarian dishes, friendly service, and great coffee, with occasional service delays and inconsistent egg dishes; good value for light meals, fair for full brunch.
Restaurant Summary
Set beside Praça da Figueira, Manjerica feels warm and welcoming with big windows, cute decor, and sidewalk tables perfect for people-watching. Guests describe staff as friendly and helpful, noting thoughtful touches like bag baskets. One diner summed it up: "A cozy, chilled place for coffee and brunch." The cooking leans produce-driven and vegetarian-forward rather than flashy, with wraps, tofu scrambles, shakshuka, and a flexible risotto. Expect clean flavors and plant-based creativity more than indulgent diner fare. Coffee is a strong suit, and desserts like the vegan pastel de nata and pistachio ice cream win praise, though eggs can be inconsistent during rushes. Families do well here thanks to familiar brunch staples like pancakes, eggs, and avocado toast alongside smoothies and juices. Portions skew reasonable rather than huge, so hungry teens may want a side or dessert. Outdoor seating is fun for kids who like the buzz of the square.
