Every time I go to Portugal, this ice cream shop is a must. It's become part of my routine because…read moreit just never disappoints. The ice cream is always so good especially with the waffle being h, but honestly, it's the whole experience that makes it special. The views are what really take it to another level. Sitting by the beach with the water right there, enjoying something sweet; It's just one of those moments that feels unreal. The scenery is so peaceful and beautiful, it makes you want to stay there forever. And on top of that, the prices are amazing. You get such high-quality ice cream without feeling like you're overspending, which makes it even better going back again and again. It's one of those places that just feels like a tradition now!! great ice cream, stunning views, and a vibe you can't get anywhere else.

Gelatomania in Nazaré, Portugal is decidedly geared towards tourists with its very anglicized name…read more No matter though, the gelato is excellent. We chose one called Pirata, meaning pirate, and is a cherry flavor. It is fruity delicious, creamy, and fresh. Service was average. I don't blame the guy though. The very distracted customers ahead of me were particularly yelling their orders just because English isn't their first language, either. Some customers are unintentionally rude. The store is sparkling clean and looks new. The cost was very good. I think it was €2.50 for a cone.

Amazing spot for coffee and ice cream. I stopped by twice in one day! That shows how much I loved…read moreit! First stop was for a cappuccino topped with cocoa powder which hit the spot. Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Sorbets are fresh and tart, just how I like them! It was a brief stop here while I was in Cascais on a hot day. Plenty of gelato and sorbet flavors to choose from and the staff here were all very friendly for tourists stopping by. Got my self a double scoop of lime and pistachio and it was perfect, nothing to complain about. Definitely would come back here again if I'm ever in the area or in the country.

Adorable ice cream shop suggested by our tour guide in Cascais. If my memory serves me I believe he…read moresaid that this was the original location, and that they've been in the ice cream business here for quite some time. The overall feel of this place definitely has a retro vibe. It's giving 50's ice cream parlor. We were here in spring so not exactly ice cream weather, but pleasant enough that treating ourselves to some ice cream seemed like a great idea. The ice cream parlor attendant was happy to let us sample anything we liked, which was a lot of fun. Eventually we landed on hazelnut which was absolutely delicious and rich in flavor. This place is a little pricey for ice cream, but it is a tourist town so I guess that tracks. The bathrooms were very clean here though the line was long. I'd definitely stop in again if I'm ever in town,

Santini is the oldest Portuguese ice cream parlor in Portugal, established in 1949. There are…read moremultiple stores in Lisbon. They are more well known for their fruit flavors. I went with a small, which let me pick two flavors. I went with passion fruit and my standard pistachio. The passion fruit was great, but I've had better pistachio. Even so, I enjoyed it overall.

I was honestly a little disappointed at first, when our tour guide took us here for lunch and I saw…read morethat it was "just" a sandwich shop. It seemed like a bit of a hole in the wall, which I always think makes the best food, so I gave it (and our tour guide) the benefit of the doubt, and I realized quickly that it had steady traffic and a constant line, which is always a good sign. I got the smoked ham and fresh cheese on a fresh baguette - the smoked ham was like a prosciutto and the fresh cheese like a ricotta, with lettuce, tomato, olive oil, and dried oregano. Very fresh, simple, bread was nice and crusty, and the olive oil and oregano were a nice touch. Seemed more of an Italian-inspired lunch to me, but I'm not complaining! Good value, too, at about only 4 euros per sandwich. No outdoor seating and limited seating inside, but there's a washroom and the tap is outside of it, so you can actually even fill up your water bottle here as well. On the left side, when you first walk in, there's also a little section for gelato - not sure if this is part of Puro Sabor or another side shop within, but either way, you can get a sandwich and dessert in the same spot.
