The 24-hour bakery is a gold mine for nutrient-drained clubbers from Rua Augusta with the post-drinking/drugging munchies, so expect a line that snakes out onto the sidewalk at 4 a.m. The jolly atmosphere makes the come-down more pleasant. Eyes all around dilate as wide as pupils when they see the size of the sandwiches served on the restaurant side, but fresh cakes and pastries rival for attention too for those stuck standing in line. Pros know to jump the line to the counters, where service is quicker anyway. Free-form banter keeps the noise level up and everyone miraculously wide awake, fueling up on adrenaline to burn before hitting a second round of clubbing.
