The Portuguese love affair with azulejo tiles is enduring, but buying one as a memento has implications, as many of those for sale have been stolen from historic buildings. For a more ethical option, Cortiço & Netos sells distinctive and beautiful discontinued tiles from the 1950s onward. You can buy just one tile or by the square meter.
With tiled floors and vintage fittings, this beautifully designed grocery store and wine bar is run by the team behind the acclaimed Prado restaurant. Its shelves are stocked with seasonal, often organic, locally sourced products including cheeses, tinned fish, bread, fruits and vegetables, and dry goods. The adjoining bistro serves delicious small plates and a range of Portuguese natural and organic wines.
Large, airy, and exquisitely styled, this emporium stocks finely packaged traditional Portuguese goods—soaps, glassware, ceramics, textiles, notebooks, food, olive oil—at every price point. There are several branches, but this is the one to visit.
This store has a wide selection of vintage clothing, mostly dating from the 1980s onward. Its well-curated selection has been chosen to appeal particularly to younger fashion-forward buyers.
This little vintage store specializes in furniture, books, and collectibles from the 1950s through 1970s. As with all vintage stores, what you find depends on luck and an eye, but you can often find good Portuguese design and international mid-century-modern pieces.
This small vintage store is run by an Italian DJ and features a well-curated selection of vintage clothing, including the occasional high-fashion label, along with a broad variety of Latin and "tropical" records from the 1950s to 70s.
