Ah, I remember this historic spot from my first trip to Lisbon 16 years ago. My young tour guide…read moreback then took me here to have a cup (actually a shot) of ginjinha, the traditional Portuguese sour cherry liqueur. When Jamie W and I inadvertently walked by recently on our first evening in Lisbon, I realized we needed to stop and do the same thing. I had next to no memory of it, just that it didn't kill me. Jamie was rather hesitant, but I just showed my typical insolence and walked up to the proprietor behind the counter. He was already in mid-pour, and I actually remembered to say "com elas" to indicate we wanted cherries in our drinks. They were only 1,50€ per cup (Photo 8). We sipped them in seconds. The puckery flavor led to a nice finish. We were on our way in less than five minutes. DRINK - 4 stars...if sour cherry is your thing, have at it AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...just an open door and a bottle SERVICE - 3.5 stars - he pours and collects, though he liked the way I said "com elas" TOTAL - 4 stars...a must-do ritual for any tourist in Lisbon RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

Alright, next up on my semi-overwhelming remaining list of cool places I went to when I was in…read morePortugal a couple months ago - one of three distinct, very similar spots to try locally made craft ginja, so obviously I made a crawl of it and tried all three in a row, the first day I got to Lisbon. All three are, similarly, very tiny bars, basically just alcoves, no seating, large enough to fit a couple people standing inside if it's raining, which it was. Not a spot people stick around a long time at, which is reasonable, since all they sell are shots of ginja, and to-go bottles of ginja. They don't sell it in shotglasses, unlike the other two - but they do give you a cherry if you want, also unlike the other two. Personal verdict, it's definitely better than do Carmo... between here and Sem Rival is really up to the individual, both are great. It's boozy but also definitely full of fruit and spices, and just sweet enough but not sickly. Good ginja is great, it's wacky nobody's tried marketing it in the US. Wish I could've taken home a full bottle of each (I'd already earmarked almost a whole suitcase for Port wine, obviously.)

My mom and I visited your Conceição store is Lisbon last week and received such remarkable service…read morefrom a young woman name Sophia, that we had to send a note. We had stopped by this location a few days before and Sophia warmly introduced herself and made us feel welcome. We had such a positive interaction with Sophia that we came back to see Sophia and taste some wines and fortified wines. Sophia was extremely knowledgeable and curated a delightful wine tasting experience for us both. We were extremely impressed by her extensive historical knowledge of Portuguese wine and wine makers. Her professionalism and expertise allowed us to experience and taste some of the best wines this country has to offer. We even ended up purchasing our new favorite Vintage port made by Vallado.

Based on my experience, the acores gin was about one and a half times more than I've been able to find elsewhere, but still better than running around town at the last minute to find quality items. The store is well organized and has a classic look. I mentioned needing the tax refund, which wasn't included. Kind of a fail.

All three are, similarly, very tiny bars, basically just alcoves, no seating, large enough to fit a couple people standing inside if it's raining, which it was. Not a spot people stick around a long time at, which is reasonable, since all they sell are cheap shots of ginja, and to-go bottles of ginja. Well, in this case, uniquely, they also sell a second, more complex liqueur called Eduardino, one reason I'd give the crown to this stop over A Ginjinha around the block, though I also think I liked the ginja here a *hair* more than A Ginjinha. Both great, though. (You can skip Ginginha do Carmo. :p) The ginja, like their most direct competitor's, is quite fruity, and sweet, but not overly so. The one here is also *particularly* smooth. Their second product, Eduardino, apparently invented here in 1908 (I just looked it up) is an anise-infused ginja that doesn't taste anything like ginja, but does taste like a great, complex, sweet anise liqueur, that I imagine would be *wonderful* in cocktails that call for absinthe as a modifier, or probably also as a swap for Benedictine or any of those more famous sweet/herbal liqueurs, if you're a cocktail nerd like me. Though here, obviously, they just sell it neat or in bottles. It is also pretty tasty served neat. I wish I'd had room to bring back a full 750 bottle of each, instead of just a 200 ml bottle (I had most of a suitcase already earmarked for Port wine), but I was glad they *sold* 200 ml bottles!

Next was Pastéis de bacalhau or codfish cakes which were the best that we had in Lisbon.

And finally Peixinhos da horta, or fish of the garden. Which turns out to be tempura fried green beans. They were also very good.

If you are a tourist, the staff will gladly help you fill out the tax refund form. However, the catch is that you have to bring your luggage to a specific counter at the airport, before you check your luggage, so that you can open the bag and let the officials verify that you are indeed taking the bottles out of the country. They will then stamp the form and you can collect your money after going through immigration. Sadly we didn't know how to navigate the system, and our luggage were too full anyway I didn't entertain the idea of having to shove things in one more time.

Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.
