    What a quirky stop to check out as you're wandering the area! This is a store of just canned fish. They have octopus, cod, salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna, anchovies, eel, and more. The guy at the front explained their products and the history of the store. He explained why their stuff is so special. We were pretty taken by the displays and ended up buying the sardines and octopus tins to take home. One of Lisbon's most delectable secrets is its stinky, salty, shelf-stable seafood, and it makes for a great souvenir!

    I tried the famous Tricana canned fish and was surprised by just how much variety there is, from sardines to squid and everything else in between. I don't normally eat canned seafood but I really liked what I had. I tried the tuna, sardines, and mackerel. All were quite good. It's not anything mind-blowing, but they make for nice h'orderves.

    The original canned fish artisans!

    If you walked around Lisbon without knowing a little bit of Portugal's fishing and maritime history, you might ask yourself a few times why there are so many canned fish shops! And I'm not talking the boring cans of tuna we get in most countries - it's an ART FORM here. The Conserveira is the oldest one of these shops around today, started in 1930! It looks like an olde-tyme apothecary and not a canned fish shop. The folks here hand-wrap the tins and shopping here is an experience. Cans are decorated, wrapped in colorful paper, and there are multiple types of seafood in multiple kinds of sauces and dressings. I'm not too adventurous on seafood so my choice is tuna in olive oil - but there's a different artsy package for you if you want canned cod, mackerel, "horse mackerel," sardines, and much more. I'd really encourage everyone to learn about this really interesting bit of Lisbon's culinary history here: https://www.eater.com/2017/6/28/15870836/canned-fish-tinned-conservas-lisbon-portugal I'm excited to come back someday!

    We heard about this place online and wanted to try sardines from one of the oldest canned fish shops in Lisbon. It was a bit expensive, but we managed to get two meals out of six cans for two people which was a pretty good deal. Based off the recommendations from the man who worked there, we got three sardines and three tunas. We would recommend the sardines more than the tuna, especially the Portuguese sardines with lemon!

    This stall is in the Time Out Mercado.

    This review is for the Conserveira de Lisboa stall in the Time Out Mercado De Ribeira. The stall doesn't have samples so I'm not exactly sure how what I bought will taste. But having tried 1 can Of sardines in tomato sauce, I can vouch for the high quality canned seafood. The sardine filets were firm, not fishy tasting, and had just the right amount of delicate tomato sauce. Conserveira de Lisboa sells under 3 different labels but it's all their product. Since I'm leery of things that taste too fishy I ended up getting a variety of smoked mussels, cod and sardines in various sauces, and anchovies. The sauces range from tomato to sweet pepper, onions, garlic, lemon, chile, and some kind of Portuguese soup flavor. Cost-wise, I bought 18 cans for 52 euro. And if you want them to wrap cans for gifts, the paper & string wrap is free while the boxes are about 2 euro. Some of their items, like octopus, are seasonal. Plus the main store carries more variety. I'm really looking forward to trying all of my canned goodies!

My husband and I walked around Alfama on two days, and we took a tuk-tuk ride here on one day. We saw a maze of steep narrow cobblestone alleys, houses with terracotta roofs, some small restaurants, courtyards, some shops, a tram, and old buildings such as São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, and the National Pantheon of Santa Engracia. We enjoyed eating authentic Portuguese foods. Unfortunately, we missed out on listening to Fado music. I was here during daylight, and unlike some of the other Yelp reviewers, I never got lost, I never felt unsafe, and nobody mistreated me. The buildings were obviously old but were not in bad condition or dirty. I read that the neighborhood has been invested in and spruced up in recent years.

Locals were out cooking on the sidewalks like they paid rent for the cobblestones, music was blasting from speakers that definitely failed an EU noise ordinance, and everyone was very merry. Alfama is Lisbon's oldest quarter, which is code for don't even try to use Google Maps. The streets are aggressively charming, like they dare you not to fall in love. This is a must walk around in if you're in Lisbon.

I'd been to other Time Out Markets, in the US, and found them places which I had little desire to return to. Not this one, to which I returned at least 3 other times. It wasn't just the easy appeal of an amply-poured glass of great wine at an equally great price, but the whole vibe of the place, featuring the best of Portugal's best. Literally, everything looked appealing here; choosing what to eat to accompany that wine? That was my sole dilemma. One side of this place has eateries that feature really well-priced nightly specials, often selling out, which gives you an idea of their popularity. I frequently found myself in another stretch of the place, opting for a wonderfully fresh sushi platter that ran about $30US. If you do nothing more than come for food and drink you'll likely not notice that there's a really wonderful, artsy shop (A Vida Portuguesa) that features unique and beautiful gifts for yourself or others. Also, a bookstore upstairs and, during the daytime, a huge farmer's market/green-grocery in another space attached to the main hall, but easily overlooked. I highly recommend this Time Out Market, even suggesting you plan your stay to be in close proximity. That's how much I liked it.
