"Maybe a dingo ate your baby." (Elaine/Seinfeld)…read more Conveniently located about a block from my hotel, Pingo Dingo (called Pingo Doce by some) became a frequent stop for me to pick up water bottles and other staples during my time in Lisbon. One of my favorite things to do when traveling abroad is to wander the aisles of grocery stores on the prowl for good deals, amusing products, and wild Australian dogs. The aisles of Pingo did not disappoint! Star Wars obsessed? Check out the Jabba the Hutt fish in the seafood section! Fan of the Two-Buck Chuck? Pingo has a full wall of wines under $5. Kermit is your spirit animal? Muppet eye special in aisle 3! Take note that items from the deli and pastry section must be paid for at that counter. There is also a check-out line reserved only for pharmacy items. Pingo also houses the entry to the "secret" Castelo Elevador, which will lift you most the way up to St. George Castle. Overall this chain grocery store is a fantastic pit stop to load up on refreshments, basic needs, and cheap pastries. Next time some obnoxious woman complains, "I've lost my fiancé, the poor baby," put on your worst Australian accent and let her know he's at the Pingo Dingo!

One of the best, simple breakfast deals in town!…read more My wife saw a little group of people loitering near the entrance just prior to the 800 am opening, and as soon as they opened, they rushed inside. So curiously we followed the crowd and they all had congregated in the bakery and deli area. The prices are VERY affordable as compared to the tourist trap stores. A lot of the locals shop here and this market is always busy! So if you want a cup of coffee with a Custard tart, or coffee with a nice buttered bun, combined, it cost us 2.09 euros! There is a small sitting area to eat your stuff, but the unsaid expectation was to "eat and run" since a steady stream of people were also taking this opportunity for a great deal! A convenient location to get groceries as our hotel was also right down the street!

What can I say? It's a supermarket! (Lol!) The stores we've visited were well-appointed, stocked, and modern. If you like meats and fish, they've got it all fresh. Being plant-based, Pingo is not the most stocked as far as those items go; but, it does contain a number of products for us. And, too, the prices are all very comparable, if not cheaper, than what we pay back in our local Hannaford back in the States. In sum, Pingo Doce is a very fine supermercado to go to when in Lisboa! :D

It's located inside the Santa Apolónia Station (you can only get to it through the station) and has excellent selection and great prices. Want a decent bottle of wine for two euros? Here it is. Their bakery and deli are great, their fruit and vegetables section is diverse, and the only drawback I encountered was that they sell ground coffee but not paper cone filters. Despite that, it's a valuable resource for just about any other need you'd have during a visit to Lisbon.

Manteigaria Silva felt like stepping into a living slice of Lisbon's culinary history. Founded in…read more1890, this gourmet shop still operates under its original name, its interior lined with gleaming wheels of cheese, hams hanging from the ceiling, and a classic Berkel slicer on display. The knowledgeable staff guides you through legendary cured meats. The quality of these vintage acorn-fed hams does not compare to anything else; smooth, richly marbled, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It is some of the finest hamon you can find. It is expensive though. For this plate we spent $100 euro. Finding a seat is virtually impossible when busy; seating is sparse, and on busy days you might wait 20 minutes just to snag a standing table. Be patient, that wait is absolutely worth it.
