Gourmet products local specialties and wines Lisbon

It was for several decades a store selling tea and coffee. A Carioca, founded in 1936 by Isidoro Teixeira, has given way to a store selling vegan pastéis de nata (i.e. without any animal products). However, the historical store has not completely disappeared because you can still buy its coffee, or even taste it directly with a good pastel de nata. The decoration has also been preserved as it was. At night, you can admire its facade with colorful and vintage neon lights that give it a crazy cachet.

These are mini-markets that have the advantage of being open every day of the year, from 7 a. m. to 2 p. m. (sometimes 24 hours a day). All of the first necessary products are prepared in the spokes: fresh bread, ice cream, press, sandwiches, cold meats, various drinks, pasta, cheese dishes, cigarettes, etc. Prices are a bit higher, but Sunday or night will troubleshoots, especially since the credit card is accepted!

Prado is both a restaurant and a delicatessen. It is linked to the restaurant of the same name and both want to highlight Portuguese gastronomy with local products.

Behind this store is the work of two brothers - Darchite and Jimite. For three years, they worked on the perfect recipe for vegan doughnut dough and ice cream to create, in 2019, Scoop n Dough. While the team started small, today more than 24 people are working to serve you the best doughnuts in town.

Claudio Corallo's boutique-laboratory, an Italian agronomist and a great experimenter with an ecological sensibility, specializes in 100% natural chocolate and high quality coffee, both from São Tomé and Príncipe, an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean and Portugal's smallest former colony.

Its galleries in a beautiful rehabilitated palace have recently turned into a bank and health club.

Next to Martim Moniz at the beginning of the Mouraria, you enter a small alley that does not really inspire confidence, but at the end a small hidden treasure for the gourmets. Here, everything is homemade, and before your eyes, it is still one of the few pastry shops where you can see the workshop. A pasteleria that is more than 60 years old, a family house where the ladies of the neighborhood come to reassure themselves with a little sweetness... To taste, the specialty of the Mouraria, a pastel with almond cream and feijão. Typical and popular. To test for the curious ones!

A gourmet grocery store where you can mainly taste Portuguese products, most often from small national producers. On the program, cheeses, cakes, chocolate, wines, crafts, fruit and even flowers... As a bonus we taste delicious artisanal sorbets, we suggest you the one with Alfarroba, with its light taste of chocolate we succumb... Inspired by the old haberdasheries, with a touch of modernity and avant-garde, a store that is worth a visit and that honours the products "Made in Portugal"

We had heard that it was one of the best chocolate cakes in Lisbon. Sofia, the creator of the recipe, developed this cake over the course of the tests, with her entourage as a critical opinion. She keeps the recipe for this little wonder secret. A kind of dark chocolate fondant, with its ganache and mousse, you literally melt! Only one large table in the middle to enjoy this little marvel gently. If you don't have time to stop by LX Factory, they have another address in the centre of Lisbon.

A word of advice to gourmets: this is a Portuguese ice-cream factory, with more than 30 flavours. A stone's throw from the Estrela garden, you can enjoy sorbets and ice creams: Belgian chocolate, passion fruit tart or basil lemon, nata pastel, cinnamon and honey. You will always be informed if the ice contains gluten, eggs or lactose. You can also eat good pancakes and waffles with ice cream, jam or nutella. Perfect for a break in the park.

Opened in 2014, this tea shop has become an essential address in Lisbon. We sell a wide selection of teas from here and abroad, as well as homemade creations, such as "Earl Grey Portugal" flavoured with bergamot produced in Portugal, "lisbon breakfast" or the very good teas from Darjeeling. It should be recalled that the country was one of the first in Europe to have contact with China and Macao; it has kept the word "Chá" in Mandarin to designate tea.

At the foot of the church of São Domingos, near the praça da Figueira, a small institution that seems to come from the depths of time. Not necessarily easy to find, as it is located in a small street between Praça da Figuiera and Rossio. Inside it is a kind of Ali Baba's cave of Portuguese gastronomic products: many cheeses, cod, dried fruit, traditional sweets, regional products and wine. Very friendly welcome.

This grocery store and restaurant is located in a district on the way up in Lisbon. You can go there to eat gourmet tapas while tasting good wine, but also to shop. On the back wall, there is a large selection of wines. At the entrance, you will find coffee, olives, tea, and on the right a counter with delicatessen and cheeses. All products are selected in a logic of short circuit and promotion of local producers. Here, we only find the best food!

This boutique is part of the "lojas com historia" network, meaning that it has been part of the Lisbon landscape for many years. Initially located in Baixa, it reopened in 1957 in the Alvalade district. Now run by Paulo Manso and his mother, the store is the only one in the district to offer a full selection of coffees and teas. It's a true Portuguese-style coffee shop, with the addition of sweets, cookies, dried fruit...

The name says it all: this store focuses exclusively on olive oil. It all began with the desire to highlight Portuguese olive oil, too often overshadowed by that from Spain or Italy. Helena and Lino, the owners, have therefore decided to offer a fine selection from different parts of the country: Algarve, Douro, Alentejo, Tras-os-Montes and Beira. Complementary products (known as homeware) such as olive wood kitchen utensils and traditional soaps are also on display.

Castro, created in 2019, celebrates the essential pastel de nata, paying homage to centuries of history and taste. With three workshops open to the public, including two in Lisbon and one in Porto, it is dedicated exclusively to making this pastry. Here, you can buy pasteis de nata, taste them at the counter or take them away. The spaces are designed to create a sophisticated atmosphere and a unique sensory experience. What's more, you can watch the entire production process being carried out by hand.

Juliana's passion for pastry-making began at the age of 12. She made it her profession and trained with the best. While in confinement, she set up her own project, "Barü", which later took on its own name: a patisserie all her own, where she serves up cakes as beautiful as they are delicious. She mixes flavors and, above all, uses her favorite ingredients, such as flowers and essential oils. New sweets to discover every week.

At the very bottom of the long Poço dos Negros street, you'll find this pretty boutique, full of treasures to offer. You'll find a wide selection of gourmet products from all over the country: cheese, enchidos de porco preto from Alentejo or bísaro from Trás-os-Montes. There's also wine and craft beer to go with it all. And then there's the stuff you want to take home in your suitcase, or coffee from Flor da Selva.

Housed in a building where you can admire Querubim Lapa's sublime Art Deco azulejos, this patisserie comes straight from Alcobaça. It specializes in traditional doces conventuais , sweets made from egg yolks left over from the production of hosts. It's amazing how, with the same base of eggs and sugar, you can have such a variety of cakes. It's hard to choose from among those on display in Alcôa's showcases. We warn you, though, that they're very sweet, so not to everyone's taste.
