Conde Nast Traveler (US) suggests The Best Place to Shop in Lisbon - By Anja Mutic in Neighborhood Guide Lisbon is rightly known as a trove of charming backstreets and terraced bistros, but none of its neighborhoods are more alive than Príncipe Real, a shopper’s Shangri-la of design and clothing stores interspersed with cute cafés. Your walking tour should start with a bica (Portuguese for espresso) and a pastel de nata (custard tart) at Nata, a light-flooded terrace café in the back of two-level concept shop Fabrico Infinito (Rua Dom Pedro V 74). Next, pop into Alexandra Moura MA&S, across the street, for the namesake designer’s array of white dresses (Rua Dom Pedro V 77); Espaço B for crisp, clean-lined tops by Comme des Garçons (Rua Dom Pedro V 120); and 21pr Concept Store for Portuguese-made jewelry and chocolates (Praça do Príncipe Real 21). Trot your buys through the recently spruced-up park, the Príncipe Real Garden, before sipping a white port tonic cocktail at the Lost in Esplanada Bar; its views of the city almost upstage dishes like braised tuna with vegetables and eggplant mousse (Rua Dom Pedro V 56; 351-91-775-9282; entrées from $13). cntraveler/daily-traveler/2013/06/lisbon-portugal-neighborhood-shopping-guide-062013
