Javá Rooftop: best rooftop in Lisbon?
When visiting Lisbon, many rooftops and viewpoints crowd the city skyline and the choice can be agonizing. However, there is one rooftop I find myself always returning to. Below are some of the reason why I recommend visiting Javá Rooftop during your stay in Lisbon.
Central location in the heart of Lisbon
Situated close to Cais do Sodré, Javá Rooftop is easily accessible by Metro and is only a 2minute-walk from the Cais do Sodré station.
Moreover, Javá Rooftop is on the bank of the Tagus and offers a view over the enigmatic river.
Another good reason why the location of the rooftop is perfect is that it is close to the more lively bars of the Pink Street and the laid-back beer places in Santos: making Javá Rooftop an ideal place to start your evening out before moving to the more raucous part of the night-life.
See below for the location on Google Maps.
Address can be found here Praça Dom Luís I 30, 1200-152 Lisboa, Portugal
Tasty food and luxurious drinks
The kitchen at Javá Rooftop offers a wide selection of dishes. Whether you want some snacks to accompany your drinks or if you want to have a three-meal-course, the chefs at Java can undoubtedly satisfy your needs. When I have been, a favorite finger food I have with my drinks is Octopus & Mackerel Ceviche or Feta cheese “cigars”. Otherwise, as dinner they have great grilled meats as well as veggie options.
With regard to cocktails and drinks, the bartenders at Javá got you too! They have all the classics like fruity and icy margheritas and refreshing martinis. However, they also have more playful cocktails with their own take on Pisco Sour or Summer Spritz. They even have a CBD cocktail, and you can ask to have CBD-drops in your drink (legal to consume in Portugal).
Looking for other rooftops or similar places?
Luckily for you, if you have already been a few times to Javá Rooftop there is a myriad of other rooftops you can visit: check out my post on rooftops in Lisbon here. Moreover, Java Rooftop belongs to a chain of restaurants and bars called Vida Plena which is run by very talented people: they have more places with also delicious food and amazing cocktails.
