They have multiple Santini ice cream shops in and around Lisbon. They make the claim of having…read morethe best ice cream in the world. Thats a claim I take very seriously!! But for them, their ice cream is really good. Dare I say, its one of the best ice creams I've ever had!! They do have a lot of ice cream flavors which is what ai would expect from an ice cream shop. I like that even for a small you cam get 2 different flavors to try. I tried their Santini tart with fruit and jam as well as their honeydew melon. They were both so good. Tasted very natural to me. Each had unique but very pleasing flavors. I loved how smooth the taste was. Not overly sweet. It was so refreshing especially after a long day of walking and being in the sun. My wife got their coconut and green apple ice cream. And those 2 flavors were really good also!! Just so amazing!! I can see why theres multiple shops around town. And yes, their claim of having the best ice cream in the world is pretty spot on!!

Amorino Gelato on Augusta Street is a must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth, and the line out the…read moredoor tells you everything you need to know. Despite the crowd, the service moved surprisingly fast and the whole experience felt well organized. You pay based on cone size rather than by the scoop, which means you can load up on flavors without the guilt of counting portions. I went with pistachio, mango and blueberry cheesecake, and the combination worked beautifully. What really sets Amorino apart is the presentation, the staff shape the gelato into a stunning flower design that almost feels too pretty to eat. I also grabbed a Nutella crepe which was every bit as good as it sounds. Beyond the gelato there are plenty of options to explore including their famous macarons, so it is worth taking a moment to browse before you order. If you are walking through the Baixa area, this is an easy and very rewarding detour.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Leave it to me to find an Amorino on my first night in Lisboa. We were walking from Prãca de…read moreComercio and stumbled upon this gem. I frequent the one in the ROD so it was not a shock when I dragged my friends in. It's the exact playbook as the one in Houston. You get in line, place your order and then choose your flavours. I went with my good ole faithful waffle with two scoops (hazelnut chocolate and salted caramel) of gelato and topped it off with hazelnut drizzle. The total was about $6.40 which is way cheaper than it is in the states. It was just as delicious and very much worth it. It's easy to find in you're in the Baixa area of Lisboa. Just follow the path.

I swung by this gorgeous little coffee and chocolate cafe on a Thursday evening and decided to sample both temperature extremes with their small hot chocolate and small chocolate sorbet. The sorbet was outstanding and truly worth all the hype -- I genuinely don't understand how they could possibly create something so creamy and rich without any milk, but they somehow made it work. On the other end (and probably more season-appropriate), the hot chocolate was equally amazing. It was remarkably rich, and not overly sweet. It is really thick, though, and has a pretty high proportion of cacao, so it is a bit challenging to drink a large amount. I was glad I had opted for the small size, which was perfect for sipping as I snuggled into one of their shop's four seats to read for an hour or two. They also have a ton of specialty chocolates that I will have to check out during my next visit! They all seem delightful, but I was a bit chocolate-d out at that point. The shop was super cozy to hang in for a bit, and the staff is super friendly. There, unfortunately, isn't a ton of space or seating, and the shop is quite popular, so you definitely have to get lucky or be super strategic about when you swing by if you want to stay for a while.

In honor of my lucky 13th Yelp Elite badge (but who is counting?) I'd like to ring in the new year…read morewith one of the sweetest topics: chocolate. My friend J and I took a roadtrip once, and developed a not-so-unique tradition of buying chocolate in every city we visited and then having it as a treat after dinner every night in the Airbnbs we stayed in. As an homage to J, I continued to do this on all of my travels in the years following. During my stay in Lisbon, I happened to see a short queue outside this chocolate shop as I walked through the neighborhood, and then my eyes perked when I saw the sign declaring vegan hot chocolate. I stood in the very COVID-safe line (everyone was masked, and the chocolate shop had hand sanitizer set out front) for my chocolate. Reader: I went back three days in a row. This is some of the best chocolate I've ever had in my travels. The tiny vegan hot chocolate was the perfect size, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat but not too sweet. The staff was kind, and carefully pointed out which chocolate bars did not contain dairy once I informed them of my lactose intolerance. Some favorites: the ginger felt decadent, the hazelnut oh my gosh the hazelnut, with big hazelnut chunks and the smoothest chocolate ever. The Pimenta e flor de sal was epic as well. All of the chocolate is made fresh, and if you have the willpower not to eat it all on the spot, they will package everything in front of you, with perfect little stickers and bags to identify which chocolate is which. There was something special in texting J about the chocolate, and for him to ask if they ship, and for me to say no, that he would have to come to Lisbon to try this special place. Another tip: if you take your little cup of hot chocolate across the street, there is a nice lookout point and you can enjoy the chocolate on a bench in the plaza. Happy new year!
