Don't worry if you can't get a table with a view of the Ponte 25 de Abril; there's plenty of space inside this former warehouse. Menu choices include chicken sausage invented—it's said—to help Jews who had supposedly converted to Christianity during the Inquisition avoid eating pork; leitão assado (suckling pig roasted in a wood-burning oven); and encharcada do ovos (a delicious concoction of eggs and sugar). After your meal, sink into a leather armchair in the candelabra-lighted bar. Find an excuse to check out the kiosk with old newspapers, the vintage grocery store, or the café museum.
