We spotted this café while strolling down busy Santa Catarina and thought it looked like a promising lunch spot. The fanciful marble façade with columns and statues set it off from the rest of the buildings and drew us in.
Stepping inside was like visiting the Belle Époque. The interior was full of beveled Flemish mirrors, wood paneling, plaster sculptures of cherubs and flowers and an ornate ceiling.
We had Caesar salads, which were pretty good. The kitchen mistakenly included bacon on Angelo’s, and the waitress quickly and readily remedied the order. This is not always the case around Europe, where requesting a made-to-order dish is frequently impossible or a clear hassle. So, the café gets points for that.
Rua Santa Catarina, 112
