Great pastry, great coffee and cheap! The waiters are nice, especially the table ones…read more Try the "pata de veado" or the "croissant misto prensado" with some "meia de leite". Location can be a bit tricky to park during the day but it's really close to the subway station "Campo Pequeno".

Named for its neighborhood, Pastelaria Mexicana has occupied the end of Roma Avenue since 1946,…read morefamilial ownership and its low-slung layout creating a welcoming environment full of locals from open to close. Near Praça de Londres, formerly Praça do México and an area frequented by artists of the past, it is surrounded by tile that guests are invited to taste Portuguese favorites ranging from composed plates to some of the very best Pastries in town. Not exactly English-friendly, though easy to navigate thanks to familiar items, it was after perusal that six items were selected, Nata to start and finish each featuring flawless Pastry filled with Egg Custard lightly sweetened and tinged in Cinnamon. Passing on savories, though several are offered, fans of Sugar will find plenty atop Mexicana's Palmera Glaseada while the Mil Folhas competes with Lisbon's best in terms of taste as well as texture. Happy to see more styles of Pasteis, Almond laid flat and Coconut piled high, consistency proves key with shells shattering layer-for-layer regardless of filling.

I was drunk as a skunk when I reviewed Casa do Gelado…read more Being drunk as a skunk on a Saturday night and then going out for ice cream is not an unusual human experience. Yeah, the sidewalk rippling under my feet as I walked to the place was distracting. Keeping the ice cream off of my shirt required Herculean strength and coordination. But I was still possessed of enough of my senses to be able to have an opinion on the ice cream that was acquired. * * * Casa de Gelado is not a legendary one-of-a-kind twenty-eight star ice cream experience. But it is still pretty damm good. I have fine ice cream near my house at home. Casa de Gelado can run with that pack. * * * I went chocolate two ways - Chocolate with salt and Gianduja. My shirt was terrified. Strangely, none of the ice cream hit the shirt. Frankly, there was not all that much taste difference between the chocolate with salt and the Gianduja. But the Gianduja had great big huge pieces of hazelnut in it. Bigger than chocolate chips. Bigger even than chocolate chunks. I was very happy to have the hazelnut chunks. And although both chocolates were fairly similar, They were both high quality Italian chocolate ice cream. It was a happy close to a happy night. * * * I thought about singing my thirty-seven verse English language song "Ode to Chocolate Ice Cream". Why not entertain the crowd? My wife convinced me not to do it.

Very cute little grocery store! The cafe was really crowded had selections of sandwiches, juices,…read morecoffee, and soups. The little grocery store had fresh meat, fresh fruit, SNACKS, candy, cookies, and water bottles. Stopped by to get water bottles for the hotel. It's recommended to NOT drink tap water here in Lisbon. There is a huge selection of wine!! Very convenient that they accept credit cards. They change 0.05 € for plastic bags. Just bring your own reusable bag or put them in a backpack. I would recommend this grocery store!
