A good idea for a lunch if you visit Lisbon 🙂
Around 25 years ago I discovered a cafe on the 8th floor of a huge department store in Lisbon named Pollux : small plastic tables, great view, good coffee (bica, 40 cents!) & a tasty, traditional pastel de nata
January 2025: Restaurant & bar Terraço Editorial in Lisbon & view famous Santa Justa elevator. For me this view will never be boring! 🙂
8th floor classic department store Pollux
In 2017 restaurant & bar LESS was opened, on the 8th floor of department store Pollux ( 5.000 m2), founded in 1936, offering typical Portuguese luxury items for home decoration and household goods.

Total make-over in 2017

The terrace, offering views of the legendary Santa Justa lift and the ruins of the Convento do Carmo, (Carmo Convent) used to have a small cafe with plastic tables (20 years ago: a hidden gem..)
.
Basic snacks, soups and coffees were served nearby products for sale in the store such as plastic flowers, garden chairs and camping tables.

It was too cold and windy for us to sit outside, but the interior space is lovely!

‘Are you being served?’

BESIDES: When I entered the Pollux department store for the first time, around 30 years ago, the old-fashioned atmosphere and the (good) hierarchical service-model reminded me a little bit of the legendary British sitcom “Are you being served?’ 😉 (YouTube), broadcasted between 1972 and 1985
