Bica do Sapato

NileGuide Expert tip:

Advance reservations recommended.

Description:

• International cuisine and fine wines are de rigueur at this, one of the city's most stylish and attractive restaurants. Set overlooking the river near Lux nightclub, Bica do Sapato's upscale environment has earned it a fashionable patronage, not least because one of its business partners is the American actor John Malkovich, who pops in now and again unannounced. Portuguese culinary heritage is upheld with dishes like braised turbot in spinach and clams garnished with coriander. Upstairs, a minimalist sushi bars serves excellent sashimi, tempura, kushiyaki and other Japanese gastronomy. A bistro bar offers light meals during the day. The riverfront esplanade is a delight. © Nileguide 2011
