A Sweet Story about our Homemade Jam, Brioche and fresh Fruit🌿☀️🍓

Picture this: the sun begins to peek through the leaves of our garden, the air smells of coffee and something sweet baking and the world feels slow, gentle and just a little bit golden. Actually, don’t picture it, just come to toctoctocLisboa because that’s exactly what’s happening here every morning. 

We believe that breakfast is more than the first meal of the day—it’s the first feeling of the day. It sets the tone. It’s where comfort meets care and where flavor meets thoughtfulness. At toctoctocLisboa, breakfast is a moment of calm before the rhythm of the city begins. It’s an invitation to start your day slowly, intentionally and deliciously. Especially, in warm days when you have great opportunity to take it to our peaceful garden.

🍞 Bread That Feels Like Home

Each morning begins with the warmth of Nordic bread, nutty aroma welcoming you into the heart of our home. This hearty bread, warm from the oven is rich with seeds and grains and is the kind of bread that fills you with nourishment and nostalgia. It's best served thickly sliced, lightly toasted and topped with our signature homemade jams—crafted in small batches with fresh seasonal fruits. You can choose from wide range of fruits: strawberry, raspberry, apricot, pear, blueberry and pumpkin. Our jams are all about simplicity, flavor and tradition. No preservatives, no shortcuts. Just fruit, sugar and time.

🍓 Homemade Yogurt, Fresh Every Morning

You’ll also find bowls of our house-made yogurt, smooth and cooling, made every morning with fresh ingredients and a touch of love. We recommend it with a drizzle of honey, a few spoonfuls of jam or paired with our vibrant seasonal fruit selection—juicy oranges, sun-kissed figs, ripe berries or whatever nature is offering that week.

🍰 Daily Surprises from Our Kitchen

No two mornings are the same at toctoctoc. Every day, our breakfast spread features a freshly baked cake, lovingly made with rotating flavors—from orange, apple or lemon to dark chocolate or classic Portuguese inspirations. This daily surprise is just one way we keep mornings playful and special.

And then there’s our buttery, soft brioche—delivered fresh each morning by a local artisan Lisbon bakery, made exclusively for us. You’ll taste the difference in every golden, fluffy bite. It’s one of those little luxuries that guests quickly fall in love with. 

Those two became a small legends at toctoctocLisboa and we love seeing our guests return just for them.

🧁 The Secret of Our Scones

Our secret-recipe scones are another guest favorite. Flaky, tender and slightly sweet, they strike the perfect balance between indulgence and comfort. Served warm, they pair beautifully with jam, cream or a touch of butter. 

🧀 Savory Sensations

Prefer something savory? We’ve got you covered. Every morning, we present a carefully selected board of Portuguese cheeses, each offering its own texture and character. From creamy and mild to bold and aged, our cheeses reflect the depth of local flavor and artisan tradition. Add a slice of Nordic bread and a bit of fruit and you have a simple, satisfying feast.

🍊 Sunshine in a Glass

And of course, our freshly pressed orange juice—never bottled, never from concentrate. Just sun-ripened Portuguese oranges, squeezed minutes before it reaches your table. It's bright, refreshing and the perfect finishing touch to a breakfast made with care.

🥗 Mindful Options for Every Guest

We know that our guests come with different tastes, dietary needs and preferences. That’s why we take pride in offering gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options that are just as delicious and fulfilling. From plant-based yogurts to gluten-free pastries and non-dairy spreads, nothing is ever an afterthought here.

Everything on our breakfast table is chosen with the same mindset: thoughtful, honest, and full of heart.

☕ A Place to Pause

Whether you choose to sit beneath the trees in our tranquil garden or in the warm coziness of our breakfast room, our morning ritual is designed for ease, enjoyment and presence. There’s no rush here. No buffet queues or hurried noise. Just a quiet table, natural light and the soft sounds of Lisbon waking up around you.

Pour yourself another cup of freshly brewed coffee. Enjoy the slow dance of the breeze. Trade stories with fellow travelers—or simply sink into the moment on your own.

Because here at ToctoctocLisboa, breakfast isn’t just how you start the day.

It’s how you welcome it—with warmth, grace and a little bit of magic.
