Make your Lisboa Games Week visit, 19–22 November 2026, part of a family day in Parque das Nações. Nina has brunch for adults, a children’s menu and a toys corner, with the riverfront close by. Here is how to fit a meal around the fair without rushing the children or missing the activities you came for.

Choose brunch first, or a break during the day
The organiser lists a 10:00 opening on all four days. Nina opens at 09:00, but breakfast, the walk and ticket queues may take longer than an hour with children. If a relaxed start matters more than being first through the doors, eat first and choose a later arrival at FIL.
For a mid-visit lunch, check your ticket’s re-entry conditions before leaving and protect time for the activities your family wants to see. Use the current official programme; do not rely on an old edition’s tournament or stage schedule.
Weekday and weekend plans are different
The fair is listed until 19:00 on Thursday and Sunday, and 21:00 on Friday and Saturday. Nina closes earlier: 16:00 on the two weekdays and 17:00 at the weekend. Plan the meal during the day rather than after the fair closes.
If you are combining the visit with a walk by the Tagus, leave some flexibility for weather and tired children. Indoor seating is available at Nina; the terrace depends on conditions and available tables.
What can the children eat?
The current children’s menu includes a burger with fries and juice, a mini bowl, a fruit snack and a babychino. Adults can choose brunch dishes, coffee and a vegan main. Use the menu link to check current choices and prices before your visit.
Nina also has high chairs and a toys corner, subject to availability. Tell the team about allergies before ordering and ask about ingredients; a dish name alone is not enough to decide suitability. The toys corner is part of the café, with children supervised by their accompanying adults.
Walking with a pushchair
The route map shows the broad central riverside stairs, not a step-free entrance. The walking times are estimates for the mapped approach and do not include a slower family pace or queues. To avoid the final stairs, use the rear approach via Rua Comandante Cousteau.

Walking routes from FIL and MEO Arena
Choose the exit used by your event. Riverside routes end at the central stairs; the Rua Comandante Cousteau alternative leads to the rear approach. Confirm open gates and event re-entry rules.
FIL · North access / Acesso norte
Walk: approximately 7 min · 500 m
FIL · Riverside roundabout / Rotunda ribeirinha
Walk: approximately 2 min · 110 m

For shows and conference centre-stage sessions, use the entrance on your ticket.
The last part of the walk: find the central stairs
At the small roundabout where Avenida da Boa Esperança meets Rua do Bojador, beside Torre Vasco da Gama, follow the promenade north. Walk up the broad stairs between the buildings and look for Nina beside the open white parasols. The image below shows this final section, not the whole walk from MEO Arena or every FIL exit.
The Google Maps links use fixed starting coordinates and end at the foot of the stairs. Check that your starting point matches the exit you use. To avoid the final stairs, choose the rear approach via Rua Comandante Cousteau.
