Deli Delux, Lisbon

A cross between a delicatessen and a Cafe, Deli Delux is unlike any other grocery store. They stock more than a fair share of sausages, cured hams, smoked salmon, foie gras, caviar, exclusive chocolates, award winning olive oils and exotic fruits and wines. If this upmarket food choice isn't enough, what's really a prized catch at Deli Delux is the traditional Portuguese cheeses such as the Serra or the Azeitão. The food in the cafe is made with the very same produce and the menu is evidently Mediterranean inspired. Above all, what makes this a great place to shop is the attentiveness and co-operation of the staff and the fact that they don't mind if you take your time at their riverside cafe. It's true, the customer is king!
