A Casa Portuguesa
It is difficult not to surrender to the delights of Portuguese cuisine when you visit the country. A Casa Portuguesa is a beautiful bar located near the Verdi cinema, which makes it a must to get a snack before or after watching a film. Their main goal: to promote the best Portuguese cake baking. Although all of their cakes are delicious, from the napkins to the queijadas and the rice bolos, the famous pastéis de Belem deserve special attention, especially if they are freshly baked (they are puff paste with cream, sprinkled with cinnamon). You can have them there with a tea or a good Porto or order them as a takeaway.
A Casa Portuguesa also has a gourmet section with regional goods: marmalades, tinned food, several types of tea and spices. In the wine section you can find a careful and generous selection of red, white and green wines and liquors--the Ginginha d'Óbidos is served in chocolate glasses. They also have Portuguese cheese and cold cuts you can order through their website. And if you are planning on having an event in-style, they also offer catering services.
