My first visit to Manifest was a fail, as I planned to do a little work and they are not laptop friendly, so I opted for another cafe.
But, this ended up being a blessing in disguise, because I ended up going back with friends a few days later and we ordered 5 entrees to share, so I was able to taste half the menu of this top Lisbon brunch restaurant.
EVERY SINGLE THING was amazing.
Everything we ordered, from sweet to savory and everything in between, was delicious.
You know when 5 women at brunch go silent, the food is good-good, and we were silent.
⭐Our collective favorites: Duck confit benedict and chicken & waffles.
