This enormous restaurant includes a fine-dining area, a cafeteria and a sushi bar. Aside from the sushi bar, the food is mostly Continental, but Portuguese ingredients are used wherever possible. The food is good, but the architecture and decor of the 1970s are the main attractions at Bica do Sapato—as are the people-watching opportunities. This is definitely a place to see and be seen—wear your best clothes. Open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch and dinner, Monday for dinner only. Reservations recommended. $$-$$$. Most major credit cards. Avenida Infante D. Henrique, Armazem B, Cais da Pedra (in front of Santa Apolonia train station, overlooking the Tagus River), Lisbon. Phone 21-881-0320. http://www.bicadosapato.com.
