- •Sip a shot of ginjinha, Lisbon's famous cherry liqueur, at a 130-year-old family-run bar where there's a whole cherry waiting at the bottom of your glass
- •Bite into a bifana at a no-frills neighborhood café with its own special sauce and sandwich are worth crossing the city for
- •Sit down to a shared lunch of home-cooked Portuguese dishes at a neighborhood spot so popular the tables fill before the tourists arrive

What to expect
The bakery: pastries and coffee at a nearly 200-year-old counter
The morning starts standing at a long table in one of Portugal's oldest bakeries, packed with locals ordering the same pastries they've been ordering for years. The pastries are flaky, buttery, and still warm. The coffee is strong and served short, the way Lisboetas drink it.
Cod, ham, and ginjinha
