Brunch with a view of the Tagus

Our outdoor tables face the river across the promenade, with trees between the terrace and the water. It is a waterfront terrace rather than a rooftop: the view varies by table. On a comfortable day, combine brunch with a walk along the river; indoor tables are also available.

See the menu and current prices for eggs, toasts, savoury dishes, pastries and speciality coffee from The Folks. Vegetarian and vegan options are included. Families have a children’s menu, high chairs and a toys corner; our family guide explains the practical details. Dogs are welcome indoors and on the terrace.

Visiting FIL or MEO Arena in autumn 2026

These events are listed at FIL in Parque das Nações. Follow the organiser links for tickets, entry gates and the latest programme:

For SBC Summit, consider a breakfast, later brunch or lunch around your entry time. For Web Summit, read our 2026 visitor guide: Nina opens at 09:00, after the announced exhibition opening. Lisboa Games Week can pair with a family brunch, provided you leave time for the walk and entry queues.

Plan around café hours: we close at 16:00 on weekdays and 17:00 at weekends. Many conferences and concerts continue into the evening. A daytime meal fits our regular service; a meal after an evening event does not. Check your own programme before coming.

Event dates checked 21 September 2026 against the FIL venue calendar and linked organisers. Events can change. Nina is an independent café and is not affiliated with these events.

Around five minutes from the FIL riverside entrance

Use the riverside access beside the small roundabout where Avenida da Boa Esperança meets Rua do Bojador, near Torre Vasco da Gama. From there, follow the waterfront promenade north and turn left by Rua Comandante Cousteau to reach Nina at R. Cais das Naus 2 B. Allow around five minutes on foot from the access shown.

Open walking directions from the roundabout

Coming from MEO Arena / Centre Stage? The arena is farther south, beyond the FIL halls. Check the route from the exit you use; the five-minute estimate refers to the riverside access shown on this map. Nina is an independent café outside the event grounds.

Getting here from your hotel, apartment or Oriente

Set R. Cais das Naus 2 B as the destination from your accommodation or the entrance you use at FIL. For public transport, see our Oriente guide. If you have just landed, use the airport guide to plan the complete journey. Tables are offered on arrival, so allow flexibility at busy times.
