Conserveira de Lisboa It’s been selling canned fish since 1930, and entering the shop today is going back in time thanks to a charming old-fashioned interior filled with vintage labels covering tuna, sardines, mussels, and cod. Something new, however, is a boxwithin-a-music-box of squid with a melody by Fado singer Lula Pena.
Silva & Feijó The Store offers only products made in Portugal. In addition to the best-known cheeses, there are some curious products such as port wine pâté or the Acushla olive oil.

It presents what is new together with the flavors of yesteryear that were either forgotten or passed on from generation to generation.

Pastelaria Doce Real An obligatory stop in PrĂncipe Real to pick up local pastries such as pasteis de nata and queijadas or simply to enjoy a refreshing drink.
