Several locations, www.celeiro.pt
3. Feira de Produtos Biológicos do Príncipe Real
One of the first and most established organic farmers market takes place in Príncipe Real every Saturday. Small farmers come and sell their seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables – it’s very much a social gathering. Many people want the farmers’ advice, and prefer to buy here, rather than in a large and more impersonal supermarket.
Jardim do Príncipe Real, every Saturday 9am-3pm
4. Food Mercearia Bio
Half grocery store, half cafeteria, Food sells a diverse range of local products including fresh vegetables and fruit, energy bars, honey, wine, beer, and more. The cafeteria serves all-day breakfast and lunch.
Largo do Conde Barão, 15 (Santos), Mon-Sat 10.30am-7.30pm
5. Go Natural
Part of a major supermarket chain in Portugal (Modelo e Continente), Go Natural has a number of branches within the city, and also around Lisbon (Carnaxide and Estoril). This organic supermarket sells fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, dairy products, wine and pretty everything you need for the weekly shop.
The Chiado branch has an adjacent café with a terrace that provides healthy meals and snacks. Not everything is organic in the restaurant (and in the supermarket for that matter), but it offers a range of ever-changing healthy dishes, quiches and salads made daily.
Several locations, www.gonatural.pt
6. Mercado Agrobio de Lisboa
Every Saturday, local suppliers go to several locations in Lisbon to sell their freshest, most seasonal produce. Fruit, vegetables and fresh herbs direct from certified farms are sold by farmers. Look also for natural cosmetics and essential oils.
Several locations: Campo Pequeno, Parque das Nações (Vasco da Gama Tower), São Vicente (next to Lisbon’s Flea Market), every Saturday 9am-2pm
