Mercearia Poço dos Negros

Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré


This grocery store mixes corner-shop familiarity with the atmosphere of a gourmet grocery store selling only high-quality Portuguese products, without the inflated price tag. Neighbours shopping for bread and artisanal butter rub elbows with tourists browsing the wine selection and the much-appreciated sardine and tuna patés.
