Open 24 hours, Estadao is probably most similar to an American diner experience. There are stools that are planted into the ground, and it faces the kitchen. You can order your food pretty quickly, and most of the food options they offer are rustic and blue-collar types of meals. Think of these as a glutton of rice and beans with meat. They also offer beer for that post work relaxation. When you walk in, simply head to the back and take a seat anywhere that’s open. The attendant will come to you and take your order, or you can flag him down.

Located in the Mercadao Municipal area, this restaurant is located in the second floor of this bustling farmer’s market. When I arrived in this area, it’s very similar to farmers markets that have a vast variety of seafood, meats, and eats all over. For me, it felt like a blend of the east meets west, where there were a lot of fruit sellers and of the normal seafood and (cured) meats. We had gone here because one of my favorite actors, Terry Crews, raved about the mortadella sandwich located at Bar do Mane, which is located on the first floor. However, that was closed for some reason, and my partner said this place was better than that place in their opinion.
