Ginginha do Carmo

Bairro Alto, Chiado & Cais do Sodré


Tucked behind the Estação do Rossio, this ginjinha (cherry liqueur) bar flaunts a slick, monochrome interior. It’s a convivial spot for a ginjinha shot served in an edible chocolate cup (€1.65) or a coffee or beer. There's a small stall on Praça do Comércio as well.
