Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the biggest disappointments of our recent three week plus trip to Portugal. Our wonderful,guide said this was a not to miss stop. Yes, the BuiLDing is architecturally stunning, the furnishings equally beautiful, but in the midst of a pandemic, I don’t think there was a single thought given to appropriate social distancing nor did it feel,like they really cared. As other posters have remarked, there wasn’t a thing welcoming about this place; it happened to be lunch time so we opted for a totally mediocre sandwich and a cold drink and it was over 40 euro. Absolutely appalling as we had any number of fantastic multi course dinners for 40 euro. Stick your head into this authentic tourist trap, take the requisite pics and boogy on over to any number of way more interesting nearby cafes for a much better lunch experience. From the surly wait staff, to the ridiculous prices, to sitting almost on top of other tourists just a HUGE disappointment in an otherwise delightful city. UGH.

We splashed out on the 30€ breakfast to celebrate our last day of our vacation in Europe. The orange juice, champagne and yogurt with berries were all excellent. However, the toasted bread and croissants were cold and tasted stale. The waitress was indifferent and we walked away not feeling sated. It was disappointing to have the jam served in small jars and the butter in those horrible peel the top plastic container. Also the serviette was very flimsy - a better quality or cloth one would have added to the dining experience. Thankfully the setting was most enjoyable.

We visited because the interior looked so beautiful in pictures on line, it does have a very pretty interiorspoiled somewhat by the tables being packed in so tightly. The food is very expensive we had afternoon tea, sounded good on the menu sandwiches scones jam and cream and mini cake with tea or coffee, 35 euros pp, we should have known better. The best thing about it was the actual tea and coffee, the bread on the sandwiches was stale, the scones had been reheated and were obviously not fresh today, they coated the roof of the mouth thoroughly unpleasant, the best thing about the tiny cakes was the mini éclair, the pastry on the pastel de nata was chewy and not what you would expect of one of Portugals national dishes. If you want to see the lovely interior go just for drinks and have your cakes from the shop just up the road pastille de nata 1.45 euro and crispy with delicious Custard filling.

Cafe Majestik writes in its page comments as one of the 10 best cafes in Europe. I believed these reviews and went here for dinner on my trip to Porto. The cafe environment with a past that has made its name a brand is nice, but the food and service is very bad. a complete scam. I paid 38 euro for 100 grams of grilled meat, coleslaw, french fries and coke. Meat was also very bad. I reported the situation to the chief. but you ate, here is the account. they didn't apologize. I condemn this cafe called Majestik. and if i lived in this country i would definitely sue for compensation. because they are cheating people.

When my mom and I first walked past this cafe, it was very busy with a line out the door. It caught our eye, so a few days later we strolled by again and this time there was no line. We immediately decided to have lunch. The maitre d'hotel was a true gentleman, warmly welcomed us and showed us to our table. The service overall was outstanding. The interior of the cafe is just amazing! Lunch was a little more expensive than other places we've been in Porto but absolutely worth every Euro. Salads and sandwiches were fresh and beautifully presented with high quality ingredients. I can highly recommend Cafe Majestic!

You have to go even to just have a coffee, this is a super old school cafe in very much an old English style, waiting staff in Bow ties and jackets, very nice formal service. Building is beautiful and the piano playing In the background is a nice background. We only had a coffee and a pot of tea but was worth it just to say we did. Probably the most I have ever paid for a coffee in Portugal but this kind of service back home costs so much more.

A piece of cake costs 8 euros and a cup of tea costs 6 euros. French toast was nice but only 1 slice. Chocolate cake is average and the last one was sour. Totally unworthy of the price tag. There are cafes way more majestic and iconic in other cities, just not this one. Needless to say quality cafes are even easier to find.

Beautiful cafe! Our server/waiter was impeccable! We felt so special and all we ordered was coffee, a croissant and the Majestic French Toast (which was delicious!)
We never felt rushed and it was so nice to just sit and take in the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend taking a break at the Majestic!

We went thinking that we could have a great meal in a beautiful place. The place is really pleasant , the attention very good but the food is mediocre and expensive.If you want to go you can have an expensive cup of coffee and enjoy the place.

announced cafe. We were warned that the prices will be higher, but it has a nice atmosphere. The prices are really higher, but that's probably why no one comes here. beautiful interior. As part of a visit to Porto, this cafe is certainly worth a visit at least once. The cheeses combined with port wine were excellent. coffee too.

Do they take reservations, and if yes, can you reserve a table for coffee & light snack, or only full meal? Hope to stop by on arrival day for a shot of caffeine and light bite.

Sorry! But don’t waste your money. Bad and overpriced coffee and food.
Unless you just want to say “you went there”...
Oh! And there is a line to enter the place.

I don't think so. We were there in August and I believe that a female friend and I wore capris and my husband wore shorts.
