Lisbon\u2019s caf\u00e9 counters may seem to be dominated by custardy confections, but the city also has plenty of high-quality chocolate if you know where to look. We\u2019ve rounded up the top 7 caf\u00e9s, shops and bakeries where you\u2019ll find the best chocolate in Lisbon. Bom apetite!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n This place is a true shrine to the art of artisanal sweets, and an essential stop for every chocolate addict. Bettina & Niccol\u00f2 Corallo<\/a> is a family-run shop in Pr\u00edncipe Real that specializes in chocolate and coffee\u2014both of which are imported from a family plantation in S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you\u2019ll find chocolate in its purest form (bars with 75\u2013100 percent cacao) as well as other products that highlight the star ingredient. Try the cocoa sorbet, a fudgy brownie or the incredibly rich chocolate quente <\/em>(hot chocolate)\u2014no milk needed! You can feel good about indulging; sustainability is at the heart of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, it might not be the best in the world\u2026but it\u2019s certainly in the running. With two locations in Lisbon, Landeau Chocolate<\/a> has earned a reputation as the ultimate spot for a decadent snack. There\u2019s only one thing on the menu: a rich, velvety chocolate cake that\u2019s somehow also light enough to keep you wanting more. It has several layers with slightly different textures, from silky ganache to gooey fudge, with a generous dusting of powdered cocoa on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Order a slice and an expertly brewed latte for the perfect morning coffee break or afternoon pick-me-up. They also serve some of the best hot chocolate in Lisbon, as well as tea, iced coffee and juices. And if you want to be everyone\u2019s favorite party guest, pick up an entire cake to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever heard of chocolate salami? If not, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing. Salame de chocolate<\/em> is a traditional Portuguese sweet made of chocolate, crushed cookies and a whole lot of sugar. It\u2019s served in speckled slices that vaguely resemble (but taste nothing like) cured ham\u2014hence the name. Not convinced yet? Let Salamaria<\/a> change your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This place specializes in upgraded versions of salame de chocolate<\/em>, featuring flavors like Ferrero Rocher, red velvet and even daring infusions of carrot or pink peppercorn. If you want a truly Portuguese experience, try the one made with figs, walnuts and Port wine. Or just stick to the classic recipe; sometimes simple is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to indulge in an authentic atmosphere, head to Confeitaria Nacional<\/a>. Founded in 1829, this classic pastry shop and caf\u00e9 is a local institution in the heart of the city. Here you\u2019ll find handmade truffles, chocolate-covered cookies, elaborate cakes and some of the best hot chocolate in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A steaming cup of chocolate quente <\/em>is a great way to start any morning; just make sure you pair it with a lighter treat to avoid sugar overload. And although you might be familiar with the Spanish tradition of hot chocolate and <\/a>churros<\/a><\/em>, you won\u2019t find them here. Churros<\/em> in Lisbon<\/a> are more of a summer street food, although some places serve them year round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to hear the history of Portugal\u2019s iconic caf\u00e9s? Join our <\/em>food tour in Lisbon<\/em><\/a> for more tips and local secrets!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Located near the National Pantheon in Alfama, this artisanal shop produces chocolates by hand, without any butter or cream. Cal\u00e7ada do Cacau<\/a>\u2019s star products are their cubitos<\/em>, little cubes of chocolate flavored with Portuguese ingredients. Think oranges from the Algarve, honey from the Alentejo, coffee from the Azores and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only is this some of the best chocolate in Lisbon, but it\u2019s also sustainably produced. All the ingredients are acquired from small suppliers and the cocoa beans are sourced through fair trade. You\u2019ll also find chocolate bars, chocolate-covered nuts and, of course, delicious chocolate quente<\/em>. If it\u2019s too warm out to enjoy a hot drink, order the iced chocolate instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brigadeiros <\/em>are traditional Brazilian sweets<\/a> made of chocolate and condensed milk, in the form of small sprinkle-covered spheres. BrigaDoce Caff\u00e9<\/a> takes this concept to the next level\u2014with a Portuguese twist. Try their brigadeiros<\/em> made with ginja<\/em> or Madeira<\/a>, or traditional ingredients like carob and sweet potato. They even have (less chocolatey) versions inspired by past\u00e9is de nata<\/em> and baba de camelo<\/a><\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to an infinite array of brigadeiros<\/em>, you can also enjoy homemade cakes, puddings and more. If you\u2019ve already jumped on the salame de chocolate <\/em>bandwagon, you\u2019ll be happy to know that they dream up delicious versions of brigadeiro<\/em>-flavored salames<\/em>, in addition to salame<\/em>-flavored brigadeiros<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t leave Portugal without trying ginjinha<\/em>, the beloved sour cherry liqueur<\/a> that you\u2019ll find all over the country. In many places, it\u2019s served in an edible dark chocolate cup. Just make sure you go to an authentic spot like Ginginha do Carmo<\/a>, open since the 1930s, to get both the chocolate cup experience and high-quality liqueur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea of drinking ginjinha <\/em>out of a chocolate cup originated in \u00d3bidos, a village north of Lisbon that\u2019s famous for its locally made liqueur. While this might not be the most traditional way to drink it, it\u2019s definitely delicious. And remember: always drink the ginjinha<\/em> before biting into the cup, to avoid making a mess!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Portugal may be known for its pastries, but it\u2019s also a chocolate lover\u2019s paradise.
