After several stops, we got off at the Chiado. 
Roadside café's, fashionable shops, coffee houses, churches, offices and houses flanked the narrow streets. The area seemed to be full of mall-goers and shoppers, and we were by now famished, and began our search for a restaurant. We took the Blue Line metro back to the Rossio, and had a snacky meal (cod-fish cakes, chicken cutlets, minced prawn balls) and a Sagres beer at the Beira -Gaie Café.
