As Booker DeWitt approaches the building from Shady Lane, he is attacked by a Fireman. Defeating him yields a bottle of Devil's Kiss, though another bottle can be found in the police supply box next to the gates. Waves of the Columbian police force continue to attack. The Gun Automaton can be Possessed to aid the fight or the Fireworks and Oil Slicks can be ignited with a shot or a simple cast of the new Vigor.

In the aftermath, Booker can move up to the restaurant's entrance. The entire restaurant is porcine-themed with a pig's head hanging over the door and a diagram showing the various butcher cuts on the podium. The outdoor tables contain foodstuffs and change hastily abandoned by patrons. The podium yields Pistol Ammo and a bottle of Salts.

Upon entering, Booker has a brief respite from action as he cuts through The Blue Ribbon collecting valuable supplies from the bistro's coat check station, private wine room, dining room, and kitchen. The restaurant is deserted save for a dead-drunk patron at the bar and the enigmatic gentleman and lady from before. Booker questions why the pair seems to be pursuing him, though they correctly point out that they were at the eatery first. The woman offers him the untested Shield Upgrade, which adds a defensive magnetic-repulsive field around the user. He progresses through the café's kitchen and dry storage to its loading dock just as a gunship flies by spreading the word of the event that occurred at the raffle.

Behind the Scenes[]

Alhambra abattoir advertisement
  • The Blue Ribbon advertisement is based on a 1925 Henry Monnier lithograph for the Alhambra abattoir.
  • The windows on the inside of the restaurant's dry storage do not match those on the outside.
  • If playing a version of the game where extra Infusions are made available in the café, Booker can use them to increase his shield strength before actually receiving the ability to use shields from Rosalind.
