São Nicolau

Very average place, good people watching location but food very cheap quality but not cheap prices. Beer good value though We won’t rush back. Waiter was nice and friendly, service wasn’t bad.

Excellent pastries. Had croissant with chocolate stuffing. Nice and flaky like a croissant but tastes a lot like a good donut. Cappuccino very nice too.

Des patisseries alléchantes à 1 € chacune, un service parfait et du personnel souriant et patient. Un délice…

This is located on the Main Street that the arch is on, Rua Augusta. Super cute, fast, and you can get a ton of stuff for cheap! We got two cups of fruit to go, a pastry, and a glass of juice for 8 Euros. Fresh fruit in America would cost you the same as getting an organ transplant.
Not a lot to say except their baked items are polished in appearance and look so appetizing. Definitely recommend you come here for a break. Oh, and they have plenty of seating on the side street.

Der Hunger trieb uns in diesen Laden, nach dem Essen aber schleunigst auch wieder ‘raus.
Der Hamburger war okay aber alles andere als außergewöhnlich. Die Kartoffelchips, die es dazu gab, waren ziemlich schlecht. Die schmeckten wie in altem Fett frittiert, trieften noch und waren ungesalzen.
Außerdem hatten wir noch eine Pizza, die wie eine sehr durchschnittliche Tiefkühlpizza schmeckte und auch so aussah. Analogkäse und Formschinken pur…
Hier werden wir sicher nicht wieder hingehen, auch wenn das Ambiente im Laden vielversprechend aussah.

i will give 2 stars for the location and the service. fooodwise avoid at all cost, i ordered a mixed grill which basically was turkey only and cooked to hell. a joke i would not feedbmy dog what i was served. then again its written home made on the store front and just underneath yoy have a frozen pizza menu should have known…

Un avis pas très fourni mais un avis quand même pour ce petit snack/​boulangerie aux vitrines généreusement garnies de sucreries qui attirent le regard de tout gourmand passant devant !
Je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher d’y faire une halte pour prendre un petite douceur, une
Bola de Coco, comme un gros congolais sur de la pâte feuilletée, c’est bon et sucré, et ça né coûte que 1 €

The bread! oh my giddy aunt the bread. While on the outside Sao Nicolau may not distinguish itself from the countless bakeries on the main streets of Lisbon, the bread here really is among the best I’ve ever had, and it’s about time you had some as well.
Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere?
It’s small and hectic (think New York City), but Sao Nicolau gets the job done with a staff who are effective and friendly. Don’t speak Portuguese? Me neither, but you can make it work with a good old pointing of a finger, and what you should be pointing at is the bread. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
While bacon and cheese rolls coming in at only € 1,00, you’ll be in and out of Sao Nicolau for not more than the change in your pocket. Check em out —
Fast, fresh, filling, and full of affordability. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Unf. Okay, so this bread, the bread that I literally can’t stop raving about. I’m not sure exactly what I’d would classify it as (some rendition of ciabatta maybe), but it was absolutely marvelous. A bit of crunch on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside, I literally bought a roll and ate it straight. I would love nothing more to bring it home with me in obscene quantities, but in the meantime the best I can do is spread the message in hopes that you’ll experience it. Wonderful. Dual Stars Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
The bread? Absolutely, but the one thing that’s going to prevent this star here is the fact that there’s so much competition in the area that cranks out comparable goods. That amazing bread? You can find it next door, but don’t let that stop you from giving Sao Nicolau a shot. No Star Granted.

Gosto bastante do fabrico da São Nicolau, não me desloco lá propositadamente claro, mas no passado fim de semana ao andar na Baixa, a escolha para o lanche foi a São Nicolau.
Por vezes é complicado ficar ali ao balcão, mas também não havia muito tempo a perder.
O atendimento é bom, sem grandes floreados.

A grande fã desta pastelaria é a minha mãe, eu vou de arrasto. Diz que os bolos daqui são melhores do que os outros. Para mim são bons, sim, mas não exageremos.
Tomo sempre um galão com uma sandes, ou um bolo e fico sempre satisfeita. Não acho que os empregados sejam um poço de simpatia, mas também não é preciso, a qualidade do que aqui se come fala por si.
Vou voltar certamente.

Esta pequena pastelaria (não tem mesas, só balcão e uma esplanada na Rua de São Nicolau) abriu há uns anos atrás enchendo a Rua Augusta logo pela manhã com um magnífico cheiro a pasteis de nata que por sua vez, são verdadeiramente bons.
Não são a única especialidade da casa. Também os bolos de côco, as queijadas de laranja e as queijadas de requeijão são igualmente bolos a provar.
Servem na esplanada refeições quentes mas daquelas típicas da comida servida para quem tem pressa e está de passagem.
Como ainda é cedo para isso, fico-​me pelo pastel de nata. São servidos?
