"This coffee shop is one of the favourite haunts of city artists and intellectuals. It serves up more than 50,000 savoury pastries a year and as many cakes. These include pastel de nata (egg and custard-cream tarts)... Enjoy!"
"If you had to choose one place to symbolize Rio’s Belle Époque, it would be this sumptuous café, a must-do for every downtown visitor. Built by a Portuguese family in 1894. Perfect for afternoons over a pastelzinho de Belém, Lisbon’s traditional sweet egg tart."
"Amid the hipster cafes with their turmeric lattes and ancient grain toast, sometimes you find a coffeehouse that is just of itself. So, take a seat at a marble-topped table downstairs and order a coffee — something as unreconstructed as an espresso in a monogrammed cup, perhaps — and a pastel de nata."

"The Restaurante Cristovao (inside the famous Confeitaria Colombo) is a great place for feijoada. The restaurant provides a luxurious setting for an authentic Saturday feijoada meal. Nine giant cast-iron pots are filled with every cut of meat imaginable and there’s a huge array of accompaniments."
