Description:
The area behind the Arco de Teles is better known for the bustling outdoor bars that pack the alleyways behind the Rua Primeiro de Março, but Cais do Oriente is anything but casual. This former 19th-century warehouse has undergone major renovations and emerged as a stunning venue for a restaurant and bar, complete with opulent antique furniture, large mirrors, and elegant furnishings. The menu is all over the map, literally, covering the Orient as well as the Mediterranean. You'll find Asian dishes such as sweet-and-sour duck with fried rice tossed with cashews and pistachio nuts or a Thai squid dish with oyster sauce and a green papaya salad. The Mediterranean dishes include prawn risotto with basil and grilled salmon served with a Gorgonzola-and-ricotta-stuffed pancake and the beautiful fresh figs with goat cheese and Parma ham. The bar upstairs is a great venue for live music on Fridays or Saturdays (cover R$20-R$35/US$10-US$18/£5.50-£9.50).
