Laptop policy

Restricted: 'designated times and spaces that are laptop friendly', with some flexibility when not busy (Queen of the Exit Row, Mar 2026). A Solo Woman Traveling (Jul 2025): rules not clear, front tables hard to get, Wi-Fi did not work well on the patio. Ask staff on arrival.

The notes

What the sources say (research)

  • “Laptop friendly, but with restrictions. There are designated times and spaces that are laptop friendly.” The writer came during a “no laptop” time, asked, and was allowed. [queenoftheexitrow.com, modified 7 Mar 2026]
  • “The rules aren’t super clear, but if you can get a table, you should be fine.” Front tables are the ones to aim for; Wi-Fi was weak on the patio. [asinglewomantraveling.com, 15 Jul 2025]
  • Fable Books, a small bookshop café two minutes away on Rua dos Prazeres, allows laptops except at the upstairs table at peak lunch (same 2025 source, single source, so no own page yet).
