Bustling Old Town brunch spot famed for souffle-style pancakes and friendly service; expect queues, large portions, and occasional dryness complaints.

Restaurant Summary

Set in a pretty Old Town square, Favela Nº17 has a bustling brunch energy where a friendly host guides the queue and servers keep the vibe upbeat. Plates arrive photogenic and plentiful, with several guests saying, "Portions could easily feed two." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. Most voices feel genuine, but hype brings polarized takes. The cooking leans sweet-forward brunch comfort with Japanese-style souffle pancakes, classic omelets, and Greek-leaning salads. Many rave about the pancakes and specialty drinks, while others find the souffle texture dense or a bit dry when the kitchen is slammed. If you love generous portions and playful sweets, you will likely be happy; savory seekers may prefer omelets, dakos, or a salad. Families will find it fairly easy here thanks to kid-appealing staples like pancakes, toast, and omelets. Portions are shareable and prices are friendly by Old Town standards. Do plan for a queue, and sit inside if bees or pigeons outside might bother little ones.
