Stepping into Conserveira De Lisboa is like stepping back in time into a 1930’s Portuguese cannery complete with its original cash register, shelving and countertops that give this store an enduring charm.

The store, which has been in operation since then, dedicates itself to the staple product of the Portuguese diet ”“ canned sardines and tuna as well as octopus, squid, cod, mackerel and eel all displayed as a colourful mosaic of retro packaging (which by the way are considered to be a Portuguese design classic).

Best Bit: Each product is dotingly wrapped in-store by a few tenured Portuguese women making these beautiful cans (and their delicious contents) a perfect gift to bring home.
