The heat and noise inside Time Out market made us more tired that’s why we left the area and walked about 15 minutes to look for a restaurant around Rua Augusta.

We passed by many bars and cafes where people were congregating and enjoying the football game.
World Cup is huge in Europe. It’s time to drink while watching. When your team wins, it’s time to drink and celebrate. When your team loses, it’s time to drink and be miserable together with every one else.

Since it was already 9 or past 9, most of the restaurants along Rua Augusta were either closed or about to close. When we reached the Elevador, we stopped walking and decided to eat at the restaurant across the elevador.
