The Tagus River is one of this city’s great draws and at this café/restaurant/bar it’s undoubtedly the focal point. Situated just across the train tracks from the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) and a stone’s throw from the water, it’s perfect for a drink, a nibble, a chat or a read.
The kitchen serves up casual meals including toasted sandwiches, carpaccio, a cheese platter and a choice of robust salads. Apart from coffees and teas aplenty, fresh-squeezed juices and shakes, there’s a lengthy list of wines, liquors and mixed drinks.
The architecture of the place deserves a round of applause (and indeed several adverts and photo shoots have been set here). It’s basically a glass “box” within an iron frame, sleek and streamlined in white-on-white, making the most of natural light and the view.

As a local myself, I’ve been here several times – proof it’s worthy of return visits. Their salads are generous and appetizers are creative. I recommend making a reservation for lunch if you want an outdoor table as it fills quickly on sunny days.
