What a lovely little shop with many handmade treasures inside. Tucked away in almost a cellar-like space, Ponto LX houses whimsical takes on the ubiquitous Portuguese sardine - but these are a made by hand and with a colorful array of mixed patterns. From giant pillowed sardines to diminutive keychains, you will have your pick of sardine to take home. There are also a few other animals to choose from: a computer cat, a dachshund, and some geckos. Glad I made the effort to find this cute store. read more

A very charming store in Lisbon. The store is filled with handcrafted fish dolls, crafted with a very unique captivating charm. Each is made with different types of fabric and they come in a lot of different sizes, some being as tall as a person. The clerk working there was incredibly diligent and thoughtful, really added to the pleasant experience. I ended up buying a small fish and will request a custom order online! read more

The handmade crafts are exceptional! I bought a small sardine, but if I didn't have to fly home with just a carry on, I would have bought more and some of the larger creatures. The owner is at the shop, on her sewing machine, so you can see her at work. The different fabrics are fun - there seems to be something for everyone. I definitely recommend visiting and picking up some souvenirs! read more

Very cute little store on a charming street - impossible to miss with bright catchy stuffed sardines hanging outside the door. According to the shop keeper, they are the first ones to begin the fabric stuffed sardines trend in the city with sardines being the national dish. My wife liked it so much, she dragged me here three times. She's not very bright so must have been attracted by the bright colors. Each time we had a long day of exploring ahead of us, so the first two times, we just left the shop. Finally, the last time, we left with two sardines who now found home in our kitchen. read more
