Café Nicola, Historic coffeehouse in Rossio Square, Lisbon, Portugal
The Art Deco building of Café Nicola features wooden carvings, wrought iron fixtures, and numerous chandeliers across its interior spaces.
Nicola Breteiro, an Italian entrepreneur, established the original Botequim Nicola in 1787, which underwent a significant renovation and name change to Café Nicola in 1929.
The café maintains its status as a meeting place for writers and intellectuals, with a statue of poet Bocage standing outside its entrance.
Visitors can find Café Nicola at Praça Dom Pedro IV numbers 24-25, where they serve Portuguese dishes including traditional steaks and seafood specialties.
The establishment displays oil paintings by Fernando Santos depicting scenes from poet Bocage's life alongside silver tableware and geometric Art Deco elements from 1935.
