POPULAR GROCERIES

If your travel plan doesn't preview the visits to the restaurants and in the same time you enjoy getting to know the local market I would like to present you several local grocery shops, easy to find wherever you decide to stay in Lisbon.


  • Pingo Doce which means Sweet Drop (isn't it sweet :) ?)  is a cheap but very well provided grocery with a take away where you can eat something warm and typically portuguese like "Bacahalhau a bras" (cod prepared with rice, potatoes, onion) or empanadas/pasteis (cold or warm snacks filled with meat, shrimps or vegetables; fried in oil) from which the most typical are pasteis de bacalhau made of cod and potatoes. 
    • You can check their actual promotions in "Esta Semana" (This Week) and check the closest shop to you hotel in "Lojas" (shops)
