Noobai, Rooftop restaurant in Santa Catarina, Portugal
Description
Noobai occupies three terraces on a hillside building overlooking the Tagus River, harbor, and 25th April Bridge in Lisbon. The space includes indoor seating and operates daily from 10 AM to midnight, with blankets provided during cooler weather.
History
The name originates from Nu bai in Cape Verdean creole, meaning we go, reflecting Portugal's past relationship with the island nation. This naming choice reveals the lasting cultural ties that remain visible in the country's dining and social spaces.
Culture
The place blends Mediterranean eating traditions with Portuguese cooking, serving tapas, sandwiches, and regional specialties from morning onwards. It has become a natural gathering spot where both locals and travelers meet throughout the day.
Practical
The location sits at Santa Catarina Viewpoint, making it easy to find and reach on foot from surrounding neighborhoods. The multi-level terrace layout means you can move between spaces to find your preferred spot and view angle.
Did you know?
The venue operates as a natural extension of the nearby viewpoint, so many visitors arrive for the views and end up dining without planning it beforehand. This fluid transition between sightseeing and eating makes it feel like a continuous social space rather than a separate restaurant.
